YOUR PRIVATE MOUNTAIN ESCAPE ON 20.66 ACRES! Bordering USFS land in the Chattahoochee National Forest near the Cohutta Wilderness, this retreat offers room to roam just 23 minutes west of downtown Blue Ridge. Tucked beyond custom wrought iron gates, the property unfolds across rolling pastures, with flowing creeks, a stocked pond and a waterfall creating a backdrop for making memories. Horse lovers will appreciate 3 fenced paddocks, each with a flowing creek and run-in shed, plus barn stalls and nearby riding opportunities. Built in 1987 and rebuilt down to the studs in 2006, the expanded 5-bedroom, 4-bath home blends rustic warmth with modern comfort. A dramatic great room showcases a massive stacked-stone fireplace and rich wood finishes, while the kitchen, new in 2021, features commercial-grade stainless smart appliances. Multiple porches capture mountain views and spectacular sunsets. Spacemaker closets add organization, and a whole-house generator offers peace of mind. Extensive 2023 improvements include house and barn additions, an in-law suite, a new septic system and drain field, roof, gutters and gutter guards, plus new HVAC serving the addition, suite and barn. A guest bath gained a new tile shower in October 2023, and the house was repainted in April 2025. With rustic wood siding, adjoining horse stalls and a custom bar, The Saloon evokes an Old West gathering place. Its full kitchen, full bath, sleeping quarters and patio overlooking the creek make entertaining easy, with workshop and storage space nearby. Gather around the fire pits, linger beside the pond or explore nearby hiking and trout fishing. The sale includes the 14.47-acre main tract, enrolled in the 10-year CUVA Conservation Use Program, plus 2 buildable lots across the creek totaling 6.19 acres for expansion or added privacy. Come discover a mountain retreat made for scrapbook-ready memories!
