This is a genuine mountain log home—not a reproduction—where exposed beams and vaulted ceilings define the living spaces and a metal roof promises long-term durability. Built in 1986 and thoughtfully updated by the current owners, the 2,600-square-foot cabin sits on a gently sloped 1.25-acre lot in the Chestnut Mountain area of Rabun Gap. Hardwood floors flow through the main rooms; a stone-accent fireplace anchors the great room and amplifies the lodge-like atmosphere while zoned heat-pump HVAC provides modern comfort.
The kitchen has been refreshed with newer appliances and offers a comfortable, workable layout for everyday meals and gatherings. Multiple bathrooms—four total—help the layout function well for family living or hosting guests. A screened porch and adjoining deck extend the living area outdoors, creating easy places for morning coffee, stargazing, or watching wildlife on your private parcel.
A distinct asset of this property is the detached garage with upper-level storage and a lower-level workshop. That flexible space is ideal for hobbies, carpentry, vehicle storage, or conversion to guest quarters subject to permitting. Utilities reflect mountain living: propane heating/cooking support, shared well water, and a septic system—common in this rural setting.
Location is part of the appeal. You’re minutes from Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School and within a short drive of Black Rock Mountain State Park and other trailheads. Downtown Clayton and Tallulah Gorge are nearby for weekend dining, scenic drives, and recreation. Comparable sales in the immediate area validate strong demand for well-maintained log cabins with acreage, making this a compelling choice for primary residence, weekend retreat, or part-time rental. Buyers should verify roof and HVAC ages and schedule a septic inspection during due diligence.
