Set in a private, quiet mountain setting with the rare advantage of adjoining USFS land, this authentic log-sided cabin offers the kind of retreat buyers search for - where nature feels like an extension of your backyard and no future development interrupts the peaceful setting. Designed for mountain living, the outdoor spaces invite you to slow down and settle in. With over 1,000 square feet of deck space, including a covered front porch that wraps to an open side deck and a cozy screened porch with ceiling fans, string lighting, grilling space, and seating, there's no shortage of places to enjoy seasonal mountain views, gather with friends, or unwind at the end of the day. Inside, the home offers the warm character you'd hope for in a true mountain retreat, with rich wood interiors, a cozy atmosphere, and a flexible layout. The main level features the kitchen with pantry storage, a welcoming living room anchored by a gas fireplace, a full bath, and a bedroom for convenient main-level living. Upstairs, the primary suite is joined by an additional bedroom and full bath. The terrace level expands the possibilities with a second living area, full bath, utility space, workshop with wood-burning stove, and two enclosed bonus rooms ideal for hobbies, crafts, office space, guest overflow, or whatever best fits your needs. Practical updates, including a new HVAC system (2022), water heater replacement (2023), and recently pumped/serviced septic (2025), offer added peace of mind, while two additional outbuildings provide even more storage for tools, outdoor gear, or mountain essentials. Located just minutes from Young Harris College and less than 10 miles from Lake Chatuge marina, with no HOA fees or restrictions, this property offers flexibility as a weekend getaway, short-term rental, multi-generational retreat, or full-time mountain home. With space to gather, room to spread out, and nature just beyond your doorstep, this is mountain living the way many hope to find it!
