INVEST IN THE MOUNTAIN LIFESTYLE! An exceptional opportunity to own your own private retreat in Big Canoe, one of North Georgia's premier gated mountain resort communities, approximately an hour from Atlanta. Whether you're seeking a second home, a full-time residence, or a long-term real estate investment you can personally enjoy, this beautifully improved cedar cabin offers a compelling combination of location, lifestyle, character, and value. Nestled among the hardwoods on 0.69 fully fenced acres, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a rare advantage in mountain living: remarkably level, usable outdoor space, along with a spacious new deck, inviting covered porch, and peaceful wooded surroundings. Inside, soaring tongue-and-groove ceilings, exposed beams, hardwood floors, and expansive windows create the unmistakable warmth of an authentic mountain retreat. A wood-burning stove against a natural stone backdrop invites cozy evenings, while the open kitchen with granite countertops flows naturally into the dining and living areas. The upstairs primary suite provides a private escape with a charming clawfoot tub, while custom California Closets cabinetry and built-ins offer thoughtful storage throughout the home. Nearly $200,000 in documented improvements since 2020 represent substantial investment in the property, including the roof, HVAC, renovated bathrooms, extensive hardwood flooring, concrete driveway, electrical updates, interior doors, lighting, appliances, custom cabinetry, and more. The expansive new deck and fencing further enhance the property's appeal and functionality. Beyond the property, Big Canoe offers an extraordinary resort lifestyle with lakes, hiking trails, golf, tennis, pickleball, swimming, fitness facilities, dining, and countless opportunities to enjoy the natural beauty of the North Georgia mountains. Enjoy weekends away, extended stays, or everyday mountain living in a community known for its natural beauty and exceptional amenities. A place to invest in, escape to, and enjoy for years to come. Open to Lease-Purchase contract or long-term Lease.
