Own a trophy asset that costs you very little to own as its current revenue will pay for most of your costs of ownership if you choose to continue its use as a retreat venue. A rare Luxury Mountain Estate on 15 Private, Gated Acres Near Helen, GA with the national forest as your next door neighbor! Currently operating as a high-end corporate retreat, family reunion, and non-profit event venue with an established base of repeat and referral business, this gated 15-acre estate sits just 4 miles from Helen, GA, with sweeping views of Mount Yonah. We've served companies like Chick-fil-a, Brassfield Gorrie, Chambers of Commerce leadership retreats, and dozens more corporate, non-profit, and faith based organizations. Three walkable cabins form a 15-bedroom, 13-bath campus totaling approximately 20,000 sq ft of heated and cooled living space, sleeping up to 50 guests, with 5 additional building lots for future expansion. The Montana-style main house anchors the property at roughly 10,000 sq ft. The upper cabin adds 6 bedrooms and 4 baths of equally refined living. The 3 bedroom barndominium is the property's unicorn feature — a versatile event space seating 60–75, ideal for weddings, retreats, and small gatherings. Possible uses include a family compound, boutique bed and breakfast, or build on the additional 5 lots, and expand the current business to host up to 150 guests for training programs, marriage seminars, or coaching platforms. For an organization with an existing platform, this offers a faster, lower-risk path to a boutique facility than ground-up construction, all within reach of Atlanta's high-net-worth population and the broader Southeast. Serious inquiries only. Conditional use permits in place and transfer to new owner.
