Rustic mountain charm meets modern-day comfort in this beautifully updated chink log cabin in sought-after Blackberry Mountain, offering seasonal long-range mountain views and over $63,000 in updates & improvements. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac with all-paved road access, this mountain retreat delivers the serenity and natural beauty of North Georgia while keeping you convenient to vineyards, orchards, BJ Reece's Cider Company, shopping and movie theaters-and just 15 minutes to downtown Ellijay and 20 minutes to downtown Blue Ridge. Set on 1.5 wooded acres, the property is a nature lover's retreat with apple and pear trees, blueberries, an open meadow, a babbling creek and even its own private natural spring. Inside, modern rustic character blends beautifully with thoughtful updates. Recent improvements include Marvin Essential bronze fiberglass windows throughout (2024), complete exterior staining (2023), and new exterior front and rear stairs (2026). The main level welcomes you with a dramatic vaulted fireside family room with a wood-burning fireplace and new wide-plank engineered hardwood flooring (2026). The updated kitchen features leather-finish granite countertops (2026), a stainless-steel farmhouse sink, recessed lighting and newer stainless-steel appliances. An updated full bath includes new ceramic tile flooring, toilet, sink and fixtures (2026). Step outside to the oversized covered deck added in 2024, creating an inviting extension of the living and dining spaces and a perfect place to relax and enjoy the peaceful mountain setting. Upstairs, a vaulted loft bedroom features hardwood flooring and its own water closet. The day light finished walk-out lower level offers tremendous flexibility with a second bedroom or additional family room, another wood-burning fireplace, laundry room with additional storage and an updated full bath with new toilet and sink (2026). Matching wide-plank LVP flooring runs throughout the lower level (2026), which opens directly onto a second covered deck for even more indoor/outdoor living. Outside, a large attached, exterior-access shed/workshop provides valuable space for tools, outdoor gear and storage. Located within Blackberry Mountain, a private gated community offering access to the Cartecay River and Blackberry Falls, this is a place designed for peaceful mountain living. Short-term rentals are not permitted, helping preserve the quiet, serene character of the community. Sold partially furnished for a near turn-key experience, this thoughtfully updated mountain cabin is ready to enjoy-whether you're searching for a full-time residence or your own private North Georgia getaway.
