Turnkey 2024 Mountain Cabin — Furnished, STR-Proven, 1.55 Acres
This custom 2024 mountain retreat in The Vineyard at Yukon is a rare offering: a fully furnished, professionally staged home that has already proven itself as a high-performing short-term rental. At approximately 2,900 sq ft, the A‑Frame/cabin-styled residence places the dramatic cathedral great room and expansive insulated windows to showcase sweeping mountain outlooks while preserving privacy within the trees. The open chef's kitchen features oversized granite island seating, abundant white oak cabinetry, and durable luxury vinyl plank floors — designed to handle high-traffic guest turnover while feeling warm and elevated.
The main level centers the primary suite for single-level convenience, with a well-appointed bath and on‑floor laundry. Two additional bedrooms upstairs provide guest privacy and flexible workspace, while the full basement is already studded and ready to be finished — a clear opportunity to add sleeping capacity, media, or a private owner suite. Outdoors, multiple decks and a covered lounge invite alfresco living; a hot tub, a fire pit and a fenced dog run round out guest-friendly amenities. Practical systems include community water, septic, high-speed cable internet, and a whole-house generator for reliable year-round use.
Offered furnished and turnkey, this home posted an outstanding STR record in 2025 (reported 95% occupancy and 96 five-star reviews since Nov 2024), making it perfect for buyers seeking immediate income or a move-in ready second home. Located about 5–10 miles from Ellijay, you're close to orchards, wineries, river recreation, and seasonal festivals. Schedule a private showing to experience the view corridors, build quality, and revenue-ready setup in person.

A factual market snapshot around 1016 Twisted Oak Rd.
North Georgia mountain real estate continues to attract buyers from the I‑285 ring and beyond, with second-home and short-term rental demand driving premiums for turnkey properties. In the Ellijay/Talking Rock corridor, median sales are notably below this listing due to wide inventory range, but high-quality furnished cabins that deliver verified STR income command a distinct buyer pool. Inventory remains tight for move-in ready, newer construction cabins; average days on market in the submarket are moderate (roughly 30–45 days), with seasonality causing strong spikes during fall festival months and summer weekends. For an investor seeking immediate cashflow, the documented STR performance here reduces lease-up risk; for an owner-user, the finishes and systems minimize near-term capex. Verify local STR policy and confirm the booking history, but market dynamics favor well-marketed turnkey cabins in this price band.
