Tucked away just north of Clarkesville, this inviting mountain property offers the kind of setting folks move to North Georgia for, but rarely find done right. Situated on 4.65 private acres, the home features 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms with warm hardwood floors and a comfortable, functional layout. Step out onto the front porch and take in long-range mountain views that never get old, morning coffee just hits different here. The land is a standout, with mature hardwoods providing shade, privacy, and that classic mountain feel. A pole barn and an oversized two-car carport give you plenty of room for equipment, toys, or a serious workshop setup. Whether you're looking for a full time residence, a weekend escape, or a small homestead, this property checks the boxes without trying too hard.

Reduced over $100,000! Great opportunity on this bank owned farm in Clarkesville! Not currently operating, so the bank has priced it to sell as home and land only - get the poultry houses for free! Beautiful land and views. Make offer!
