Nestled in a small gated community only 10 minutes from downtown Blue Ridge, you will find this unique custom cabin, built by renowned North Georgia builder, Keith Sumner. This beautiful home will wow you from the moment you walk in the door with its LIVE EDGE WOOD WALLS, CUSTOM STONE COUNTERTOPS, and CATHEDRAL CEILING in the main living space. As you continue through the home, you'll be blown away by the WATERFALL in the master shower, the THREE STACKED STONE FIREPLACES, and incredible year-round LONG RANGE MOUNTAIN VIEWS. Enjoy 3 levels of open concept living with a primary suite on each floor, and 2 levels of outdoor entertaining space from the covered rear decks. All are sure to enjoy the POOL TABLE in the downstairs living room, as well as the HOT TUB on the terrace level deck. In addition to your 3 fireplaces, you'll enjoy a custom FIRE PIT adjacent to the home. The exterior of the home has recently been painted & stained and there is zero maintenance to be done - it's in perfect condition. All roads leading to the home are paved and there are no curvy mountain roads to get there. The gated community backs up to the Toccoa River, and has river access. This home is an active, successful short-term rental, generating over $80k in revenue from 2022-2024, and is being sold FULLY FURNISHED/ TURN KEY. Includes adjacent lot, for a total of 2.29 acres. Seller is a licensed Georgia Realtor.
