Property Description

Now offered under $500K, this brand-new genuine log cabin brings together several things that are becoming harder to find in North Georgia: creek frontage, real privacy, gated-community living, STR eligibility, and new construction that's already finished and ready to enjoy. This is genuine log construction, not conventional stud-wall construction given a cabin treatment. Exposed beams carry throughout the home, along with 8-inch wood plank floors, granite countertops, vessel sinks, upgraded lighting and fans, a metal roof, extended 10-foot decks, and two fireplaces, including a second fireplace on the covered deck. Outside is where the property really separates itself. A private path winds through the woods to the creek and a firepit at the water's edge. Mature trees surround the property, and the rush of the creek becomes the soundtrack. It's private, peaceful, and removed from the noise without being removed from everything people come to Ellijay to enjoy. Behind the gates of The Preserve at Mountaintown Creek, owners also have access to a beautiful community pool, pickleball court, and outdoor gathering area with a large stone fireplace. Short-term rentals are permitted, opening the door to several possibilities: keep it as a personal North Georgia getaway, generate rental income when you're not using it, or make it home. A furnished option is also available, making this cabin move-in or STR ready without the added work of furnishing from scratch. Downtown Ellijay, wineries, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and river recreation are all within easy reach, and Atlanta is close enough to make Friday-afternoon departures for the mountains entirely doable. An adjoining lot may also be available separately, offering additional privacy and interesting possibilities for future use.
