About This Home

The ultimate retreat for those who've always dreamed of owning a private log cabin with room for every toy, every hobby, and every adventure. A place where there's finally room for the boat, the truck, the classic car, the side-by-side, every tool you've collected over the years, and the workshop you've always wanted. A place where weekends are spent shooting hoops on your own basketball court, working on projects in the shop, grilling with friends, and ending the day on the porch as the sun sets over your own private piece of paradise. Hidden behind a private gate on a beautifully cleared, fully fenced property just 15 minutes from downtown Woodstock this one-of-a-kind log cabin delivers the feeling of a secluded North Georgia mountain retreat without sacrificing convenience. The heart of this incredible property is the impressive 40' x 40' three-bay shop complete with power and plumbed for water. Whether you're storing boats, off-road toys, classic cars, motorcycles, RVs, or creating the ultimate workshop or home business, this space is ready for whatever your passion may be. Properties with a shop like this are incredibly hard to find, and even harder to forget! The charming two-bedroom log cabin perfectly complements the property with warm wood interiors, timeless character, and thoughtful updates throughout. Two beautifully renovated bathrooms, new kitchen flooring and countertops, and inviting living spaces create the perfect balance of rustic charm and modern comfort. The current owner has already completed the major investments, including a brand-new metal roof, new septic system with tank and field lines, encapsulated crawl space, and a new HVAC system with all new ductwork installed in 2019, allowing you to simply move in and start enjoying everything this remarkable property has to offer. Step outside and you'll discover lush Zeon Zoysia sod, a full irrigation system, a private basketball half court, mature landscaping, and expansive usable land that gives you room to breathe. It's the kind of property where kids can run free, dogs have room to roam, friends naturally gather, and hobbies finally have the space they deserve. This isn't just another log cabin. It's the property you've talked about owning for years. It feels like you're hours away in the North Georgia mountains, yet you're only minutes from downtown Woodstock, shopping, restaurants, and all the conveniences of Highway 92. If you've been searching for the ultimate "man cave" without sacrificing a beautiful home or a property that offers privacy, recreation, incredible storage, and a lifestyle most people only dream about ... THIS is the one! Some homes give you a place to live. This one gives you a place to live the life you've always wanted!
