About This Home

As of May 2026

Take in sweeping long-range mountain views from this well-appointed 3BR/3BA cabin tucked in the heart of the North Georgia Mountains, with a bedroom and full bath conveniently located on each level for added flexibility and privacy. Thoughtfully designed with both everyday comfort and entertaining in mind, the open-concept great room features a soaring stone fireplace and flows seamlessly into the kitchen and dining area-perfectly positioned to capture the stunning scenery. The kitchen offers a breakfast bar, while the spacious dining area is highlighted by glass doors that open to the view, bringing the outdoors in. A main-level laundry adds ease to your daily routine. The home offers multiple spaces to gather and unwind, including a spacious loft that works beautifully as additional sleeping space, a home office, or a cozy reading nook. The finished terrace level features a media/game room, additional recreation space, and an adorable bunk room-perfect for guests or overflow sleeping arrangements. Outdoor living is just as inviting, with expansive decks, a relaxing hot tub overlooking the mountains, and a charming covered front porch made for slow mornings with coffee and fresh mountain air. Recent improvements include fresh interior and exterior paint, updated showers, and a newly fenced backyard that backs up to a peaceful common area and the National Forest, providing a private and serene natural setting. Located in the highly desirable Walnut Mountain community, residents enjoy gated security along with amenities such as swimming, tennis, lakes, and hiking trails-all just a short drive to downtown Ellijay's dining, shopping, and local attractions. Offered furnished (with a few exclusions), this property is move-in ready and easy to enjoy. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a private mountain escape, or a place to host and gather, this cabin offers the best of mountain living. HOA dues include water and access to community amenities.
