Set among towering treetops w/cascading creek & natural waterfall running alongside the property, this 3-level residence is a complete escape from stress, traffic & summer heat, yet remains an easy drive from Atlanta for weekend escapes or extended seasonal living. The classic chinked log exterior welcomes you inside to the vaulted great room w/exposed hand-hewn beams, large-plank wood floors & river rock wood-burning fireplace. Custom steel French doors throughout the main level pour in natural light, connecting indoors w/the lush outdoors. Plenty of gathering space surrounds the fireplace, while an add'l casual dining/lounge area offers even more room to relax. The kind of mountain home families hold for generations. Upstairs, the spectacular primary suite feels like its own private retreat w/architectural details that continue throughout the spacious loft-style layout. Featuring cozy sitting area, generous sleeping quarters & unforgettable Smoky Mtn vistas. With aprox 2,400sqft across 3 levels, the cabin offers ideal flexibility for entertaining guests, hosting grandchildren, or simply enjoying quiet weekends in nature. The setting combines dramatic beauty w/genuine serenity: mountain air, moving water, mature forest & the sense of escape that luxury buyers increasingly seek but seldom find. Located near Ellijay, one of N GA's most sought-after mtn destinations, the property offers access to hiking, wineries, fly fishing, charming restaurants & thriving 4-season mountain lifestyle. Whether envisioned as a private family retreat, seasonal residence, or legacy mountain property, this is not merely a cabin, it is an experience of mountain living that feels increasingly difficult to replicate
