About This Home
Escape to the beauty of the North Georgia mountains with this charming log cabin nestled on a private 1-acre lot with frontage on the breathtaking Soque River. Offering 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and 2,511 square feet, this inviting home features an open floor plan designed for comfortable everyday living and effortless entertaining. Warm hardwood floors flow throughout the main living area, while the sunroom provides the perfect place to relax and take in the peaceful surroundings year-round. Enjoy the best of both worlds with a location that's just a short walk from everything downtown Clarkesville has to offer, including local shops, restaurants, parks, and community events. Although you're that close to town, the home is located outside the city limits, allowing you to enjoy no city taxes while still benefiting from public water and sewer. This home has been thoughtfully updated and meticulously maintained, giving buyers peace of mind. Major improvements include a new HVAC system installed in December 2025, replacement roof bolts on the metal roof, new recessed lighting, motion-sensor flood lights, updated sunroom lighting, and a covered breezeway connecting the carport to the home. The deck has been freshly painted with damaged wood replaced, and the owners invested approximately $10,000 in tree removal to enhance both the beauty and usability of the property. Outside, you'll find mature landscaping enhanced with an irrigation system, along with blueberry bushes and a muscadine vine ready to enjoy. A newly added dog pen makes this property ideal for pet lovers, while the Soque River creates an extraordinary backyard retreat. Known for its outstanding trout fishing, this renowned North Georgia river offers the rare opportunity to cast a line just steps from your back door. Whether you're fishing, kayaking, relaxing by the water, or simply listening to the peaceful sounds of the river, you'll appreciate the lifestyle this property provides. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a mountain getaway, or an exceptional vacation rental opportunity, this move-in-ready cabin combines rustic charm, thoughtful updates, an unbeatable location near downtown Clarkesville, and the unmatched beauty of riverfront living on the Soque River.
