Welcome to your mountain escape! Tucked inside the gated Walnut Mountain community, this charming furnished turnkey log cabin offers the perfect blend of rustic character, modern convenience, and easy access to the best of North Georgia mountain living. Inside, vaulted beam ceilings and an open-concept floor plan create a warm, spacious gathering place, while the stone fireplace adds just the right touch of cozy cabin charm. With a bedroom and full bath on each level, the floor plan offers flexibility for family and friends, separated guest accommodations, or a successful short-term rental opportunity. The outdoor living is equally inviting. Spend quiet mornings or peaceful evenings on the screened-in porch while taking in seasonal, long-range wooded views. Recent improvements-including a new roof, and custom stone front walkway, and new retaining wall-add valuable peace of mind. Life in Walnut Mountain comes with plenty to enjoy, from lakes, a community pool, basketball and tennis courts, a clubhouse, dog park, and miles of trails. Beyond the gates, historic downtown Ellijay, scenic orchards, local vineyards, and mountain hiking adventures are all within easy reach. Whether you're looking for a weekend getaway, a full-time mountain home, or a turnkey investment, this inviting cabin makes it easy to slow down, settle in, and enjoy the simple pleasures of mountain living.
