About This Home

As of August 2026

Just minutes from downtown Hiawassee and a short drive to the scenic views atop Bell Mountain, this nearly new (built 2020) home offers the perfect blend of comfort, style, and natural beauty—plus it’s only 30 minutes to downtown Clayton.

Situated on a level 1.31-acre lot where Hall Creek and Hightower Creek meet, this meticulously maintained craftsman-style home features 2 spacious bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a versatile office or bonus room. Thoughtfully designed with upgrades throughout (see documents for full list), the home showcases an open-concept layout ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.

The kitchen is a standout with a large island, farmhouse sink, and updated appliances, flowing seamlessly into the expansive living area complete with a wood-burning fireplace and French doors that open to a covered deck overlooking the creek. A bright dining area with oversized windows brings in natural light and the soothing sounds of the water.

Additional highlights include a large laundry/mud room, attached oversized garage with overhead storage, and a newly added tankless water heater. The current owners have also enhanced the home with new light fixtures, barn doors, a new stove vent, and a high-end microwave.

Step outside to enjoy exceptional creek frontage just steps from your back porch. The outdoor space is perfect for relaxing or entertaining, featuring a large covered deck and firepit area. A newly added two-bay workshop provides ample space for tools, equipment, your fishing and canoe or space to work on hobby projects.

With its peaceful setting, quality upgrades, and move-in-ready condition, this property is a rare opportunity to own a beautiful creek side retreat in the North Georgia mountains.
