At $499,000, finding a brand-new genuine log cabin with creek frontage, privacy, and short-term rental potential in North Georgia is becoming increasingly rare. Located behind the gates of The Preserve at Mountaintown Creek, this custom-built cabin offers the security, privacy, and natural setting that draw buyers to the mountains in the first place. A private path leads to the creek below, where a fire pit overlooks the rushing water and mature hardwoods provide a natural buffer from the outside world. Inside, exposed beams span every room, showcasing the character and craftsmanship of true log construction. The thoughtfully designed floor plan combines mountain charm with modern comfort, while numerous upgrades throughout the home elevate both style and functionality. Features include wide-plank wood flooring, granite countertops, vessel sinks, upgraded lighting and ceiling fans, extended 10-foot decks, a metal roof, and both indoor and outdoor fireplaces. Owners enjoy access to community amenities including a pool, pickleball court, and outdoor gathering area centered around a beautiful stone fireplace. If you have been searching for a personal mountain getaway, a full-time residence, or an income-producing short-term rental, this property offers the flexibility to do all three. Downtown Ellijay, local wineries, hiking trails, mountain biking, fishing, and river recreation are all just minutes away, while Atlanta remains an easy drive for weekend rendezvous. Move-in ready. STR ready. Creek-front. Genuine log construction. Privacy, amenities, and mountain living all in one property.
