About This Home

As of February 2026

*MOTIVATED SELLER!* *PRICED BELOW MARKET VALUE!* *SHORT-TERM RENTAL FRIENDLY* This is a premier short-term rental investment or private mountain escape! Nestled on two rare, flat acres in the heart of North Georgia, this fully furnished three-bedroom, two-bathroom cabin is designed for both guest appeal and investor success. Ideally located just minutes from Lake Blue Ridge and downtown Blue Ridge, this property offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. As you drive up, there is an easy-in, easy-out circular driveway. Stepping inside, you'll find floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the open-concept living space with natural light. A wood-burning fireplace serves as the focal point, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for guests to gather. The modern lighting, tasteful furnishings, and well-appointed kitchen ensure a comfortable and seamless guest experience. Investors, the thoughtfully designed layout comfortably accommodates up to eight guests, with two bedrooms on the main level with full beds. Upstairs, the private loft suite with queen bed features its own bathroom, workspace, and additional seating area, providing a retreat-like experience. There is a large wraparound deck with a hot tub, and the fire pit with Adirondack chairs invites guests to relax under the stars. The expansive, flat acreage provides space for families to enjoy outdoor activities worry-free, a rare find in this mountainous region. There is even enough space to create your own pickleball court! Outdoor amenities are a major draw for visitors. This home is within walking distance of the community pond. Located on paved roads with easy access to hiking trails, wineries, shopping, and dining, this property is primed for a successful rental investment. Whether you're looking to capitalize on the thriving short-term rental market or seeking your own turnkey vacation retreat, this Bougie Cabin is ready to welcome you. (Pickleball Court Is Virtually Staged.)
