About this home

Nestled on 8+ private acres along a quiet country road in the North Georgia Mountains, this rare Blairsville property offers peaceful mountain living, gorgeous front porch views, and exceptional future development potential. Custom built by the original owners, this rustic mountain retreat was thoughtfully designed to embrace the surrounding natural beauty while offering flexibility for full-time living, a private weekend getaway, family compound, or strategic investment opportunity with future development potential. The mountain home features three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, including a desirable primary suite on the main level with private deck access and full bath. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a full bathroom and are complemented by a spacious bonus room ideal for additional sleeping space, office, media room, or recreation area. Designed for mountain entertaining, the spacious kitchen and dining area are anchored by a dramatic dual-sided gas log fireplace shared with the soaring two-story great room filled with natural light. The kitchen also offers a generous pantry and dedicated laundry area with washer and dryer hookups. Freshly repainted decks, porches, and window trim enhance the home's move-in-ready appeal and mountain charm throughout. The partially finished basement is already wired and includes a full bathroom, offering tremendous opportunity for future expansion and customization to the new owner's vision. Whether transformed into additional living space, recreation area, guest suite, workshop, or mountain retreat lounge, the groundwork is already in place. Outdoor features include expansive covered parking, two storage sheds, propane service, fenced yard space for pets, a small creek, and a natural spring running through the property, further enhancing the peaceful mountain setting. Multiple outdoor living spaces create the perfect setting for enjoying peaceful mornings, cool mountain evenings, and the surrounding natural beauty from the expansive covered front porch and decks. For investors, builders, or developers, the acreage presents exceptional long-term upside with potential future homesite opportunities following county review and approvals. Properties combining usable acreage, privacy, infrastructure, mountain charm, water features, and future flexibility this close to downtown Blairsville and Lake Nottely are becoming increasingly difficult to find. A rare North Georgia mountain opportunity offering lifestyle, land, privacy, craftsmanship, and future potential all in one property....
