About This Home

Creekside serenity meets mountain adventure on 3.06 picturesque acres. Nestled among the trees with a year-round flowing creek, this beautifully renovated mountain retreat offers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and convenience—just minutes from downtown Blue Ridge and the charming twin towns of McCaysville, Georgia, and Copperhill, Tennessee. This spacious 3-bedroom, 3-bath Craftsman-style cabin offers over 3,000 square feet of inviting living space designed for relaxing and entertaining. Two wood-burning fireplaces create warm, welcoming gathering spaces, while expansive windows fill the home with natural light and showcase the surrounding mountain landscape. Step outside to enjoy multiple covered porches and outdoor living areas where you can sip your morning coffee overlooking the creek, unwind to the sounds of flowing water, or gather with family and friends beneath the beauty of the North Georgia mountains. The open-concept living and dining areas provide seamless indoor-outdoor living, while the finished basement offers flexible space for guests, a recreation room, home office, or additional living area. Adventure is always close to home. Explore the shops, restaurants, breweries, wineries, and year-round festivals of Blue Ridge and McCaysville/Copperhill, or spend your days enjoying some of North Georgia's best trout fishing, kayaking, tubing, and canoeing on the Toccoa River. Lake Blue Ridge is just a short drive away, offering boating, paddleboarding, swimming, hiking, and endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a mountain getaway, or an investment opportunity, this property offers exceptional versatility. Short-term rentals are currently permitted, subject to applicable local regulations, making it an excellent opportunity in one of North Georgia's most sought-after mountain destinations.
