About This Home
Spacious 4BR/4BA Home on Nearly 3 UNRESTRICTED Acres with FIBER OPTIC INTERNET! Enjoy privacy and convenience in this beautifully designed mountain retreat located on a paved road. This home offers two master suites—one on the main level and another in the loft. The great room features a cozy gas-log fireplace, kitchen boasts abundant cabinetry, and granite countertops. Hardwood floors throughout with tile in the bathrooms. A generous sized main level master with large walk-in closet, and separate shower and soaking tub. The finished walkout basement includes a family room with a wood-burning fireplace, a bedroom, office/craft room, and storage, perfect for in-law suite or family gatherings. Outdoors, multiple springs feed a branch and small creek in front, and the property is bordered on one side by Hanging Dog Creek, known for its trout fishing. Enjoy relaxing on the creekfront deck, tubing or kayaking right from home, or simply soaking in the views of the creek, mountains, and surrounding fields. Set on an elevated bluff with direct creek access (no road easement and not in a floodplain), this home features a wraparound porch, a firepit area, and a detached 2-car garage with an unfinished upper level—framed for a potential 1bd/1.5ba guest suite with electrical already roughed in. Upgrades include Kohler porcelain cast-iron fixtures, a Generac generator, and a 500-gallon buried propane tank. This property truly has it all—creek frontage, mountain views, privacy, and modern comfort—ready for you to make it your mountain sanctuary! Near Blue Ridge, GA and an abundance of hiking, kayaking, quaint shops, the John C. Campbell Folk School, and Harrah's Valley River Casino.
