Property Description
Rare opportunity to own a private, unrestricted mountain mini-farm in Young Harris with usable acreage, exceptional infrastructure, and character that is difficult to find in one property. Set on 8.17 fully fenced acres, this property offers level to gently rolling pastures and paddock areas, a pond, intermittent spring, garden space, and room for horses, homesteading, animals, equipment, or simply enjoying privacy and open space. The renovated three-level home blends mountain charm with thoughtful updates, featuring soaring cathedral ceilings, exposed heavy-timber framing, reclaimed-wood accent walls, hardwood floors, and a masonry fireplace in the great room. Oversized windows and sliding glass doors frame peaceful pastoral views, while a spacious loft with black iron railing overlooks the living area. The kitchen includes pine tongue-and-groove ceilings, stainless-steel appliances, gas range, and breakfast bar. The primary suite offers a shiplap accent wall, dual vanities, radiant-heated tile floors, and a glass-enclosed shower. A screened porch provides an inviting place to enjoy the pastures and mountain seasons. The lower level includes a private entrance, kitchenette sink, washer/dryer hookups, and 2023 LVP flooring; ideal for guests, multigenerational living, a home office, or flexible-use space. Outbuildings include a barn with tack room, walk-in greenhouse attached to the garage, tall pole barn for RV, boat, or equipment storage, and an oversized detached two-car garage with a covered carport bay, workshop, and unfinished upper level. Additional highlights include a 30-amp RV hookup with water at the flagstone patio, water-line re-pipe in 2026, Generac generator, 2023 deck, 2022 water heater, and metal roof approximately 16 years old. Privacy, unrestricted acreage, pasture, water features, major storage, and a distinctive renovated home; an exceptional Young Harris property that rarely becomes available.
