Property Description

Private Mountain Homestead on 8.79 Acres Backing National Forest – Garden, Views & Ultimate Self-Sufficiency! Tucked deep into the North Georgia mountains and backing directly to protected U.S. National Forest, this rare 8.79-acre private homestead offers the kind of freedom, space, and self-sufficient lifestyle you're actively searching for and almost never find. Surrounded by nature with no true neighbors in sight, this solid log chalet delivers year-round mountain views through a dramatic wall of windows, creating a seamless connection between indoor comfort and the natural beauty beyond. Step outside onto expansive new decking and a screened porch designed for morning coffee, evening sunsets, and complete peace.
Inside, the open-concept living, kitchen, and dining area is anchored by a rock-faced fireplace, with a spacious main-level primary suite featuring a sitting area, walk-in closet, and spa-style bath with jetted tub and separate shower. The upper-level loft offers additional living space, bedroom, and full bath, perfect for guests or extended stays. A partially finished terrace level adds flexibility with a family room, wet bar, powder room, garage access, and additional storage. This property truly shines as a working homestead. Established raised garden beds, fruit trees including apple, pear, blueberry, and grapevines, plus multiple outdoor sitting areas create a lifestyle centered around sustainability and connection to the land. A whole-house Generac generator, propane backup systems, fiber internet, and updated mechanicals provide modern reliability while maintaining off-grid readiness. For those needing space for equipment, hobbies, or recreation, the impressive detached 832 sq ft garage/workshop is fully equipped with power, insulation, RV hookups, and high-clearance doors ideal for boats, travel trailers, side-by-sides, and more. A second driveway and additional building site with outbuildings expand functionality even further. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, private retreat, or legacy property, this one-of-a-kind mountain homestead offers unmatched privacy, usable land, and a lifestyle that's becoming increasingly hard to find.
