A Storybook Escape: Handcrafted Dovetail Log Home on Mountaintown Creek
Step into the pages of a mountain fairytale with this one-of-a-kind, handcrafted dovetail log home, gracefully perched above the rushing waters of Mountaintown Creek. Set against a backdrop of rolling pastures and long-range mountain views, this enchanting North Georgia retreat exudes rustic elegance and timeless charm from every angle.
Tucked away in a private, secluded setting, yet just minutes from the vibrant heart of Downtown Ellijay, this home offers the best of both worlds: complete immersion in nature, with easy access to the conveniences and attractions of town. Enjoy close proximity to the renowned Pinhoti Trail, countless hiking and biking routes, and year-round outdoor adventures.
As you approach the property, the log home’s rich wood textures, hand-hewn dovetail corners, and classic Appalachian architecture immediately set the tone for something truly special. Inside, the magic continues with a sprawling living area that showcases soaring cathedral ceilings, massive exposed beams, and a grand, double-sided masonry stone fireplace that anchors the home with warmth and grandeur.
The heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen—designed for both function and beauty. It features a central eat-in island, custom cabinetry, and a charming dinette with windows framing serene views of the creek. A formal dining space offers room for larger gatherings, while an adjacent fireside sitting nook creates an intimate space to unwind with a book or conversation.
With three well-appointed bedrooms and a spacious sleeping loft, this retreat comfortably accommodates friends and family. The luxurious primary suite is a true sanctuary, complete with its own stone fireplace, generous space, and serene views that invite rest and relaxation.
Step outside to truly appreciate the breathtaking natural surroundings. Expansive wraparound decks provide sweeping views of the mountains and pastures, while a crackling fire pit nestled near the creek invites evenings under the stars. Here, the soundtrack is the soothing rush of water and the occasional rustle of deer or wild turkey nearby—this is mountain living at its most peaceful and poetic.
And for the angler or nature lover, this property delivers an unmatched backyard experience: cast your line into trout-filled Mountaintown Creek, watch eagles soar above, or simply bask in the beauty of this untouched Appalachian setting.
Whether you’re seeking a full-time residence, a luxury second home, or a premium short-term rental investment, this storybook lodge is a rare opportunity to own a true piece of mountain craftsmanship in one of North Georgia’s most scenic and desirable locations.
