About This Home

As of March 2026

Welcome to the splendor of Otto, NC! This two bedroom/one bathroom cottage is located conveniently between Franklin, NC and Clayton, GA and all the magnificent raw nature in between! Nested on a generous 2.65 acre lot with ample parking, you will feel far from civilization when in reality, accessibility to all you need is close by. Enter the home through a screened porch into the living room which has nice views of surrounding landscape. The spacious kitchen is off the living room. The bathroom is located between both bedrooms. When inside the house and peering out the windows you will see nice mountain views and forest animal visitors including deer and song birds! When in bloom, the forest comes to life abundant with the colors of mountain laurel, flame azaleas and rhododendron! The house is cooled and heated by 3 mini-split units with propane heat to supplement on the very cold nights! A handicapped ramp leads to the screened porch. Otto is a nature lovers Paradise! Hike the Bartram or Appalachian Trail. Ride your bike up Coweeta Lab! Fishing abound! Both Franklin and Clayton are host to historic downtowns with shops and restaurants that host fun events throughout the year.
