FEATURED WITH TEREN HOOPER | 63 Bushy Head Road, Cherry Log GA

Now offered with Teren Hooper, this Cherry Log cabin feels tucked into the woods in exactly the way people hope a mountain place will, quiet, private, and surrounded by enough forest that the house seems to disappear into it.

Set on 1.48 acres, the three-bedroom, three-bath cabin spreads across three finished levels, with a bedroom and bath on each floor. Inside, warm wood interiors, cathedral ceilings, and an open living and dining space give the home that familiar mountain character without making it feel cramped or overly rustic.

The three-season porch may be the room that gets used the most. With its own outdoor fireplace and a view into the trees, it gives you a place to sit through cooler mornings, long fall evenings, and the kind of weather that makes staying outside feel like the better option.

Downstairs, the finished basement adds another gathering space, while outside the hot tub, fire pit, and wooded setting make the property feel especially well suited to weekends that don’t need much of a plan. Across the road, nearly 20,000 acres of U.S. Forest Service land help preserve the sense of privacy and connection to the outdoors.

The cabin is being offered turnkey, making it easy for the next owner to settle in and start enjoying it right away.

FEATURED WITH LEGACY MOUNTAIN GROUP | 290 Ruby Lane, Ellijay GA

Now offered with Legacy Mountain Group, this Coosawattee cabin is the kind of property that gives you room in every direction, nearly 3,500 square feet inside, almost five wooded acres outside, and a finished lower level that opens up a completely different set of possibilities.

The home offers four bedrooms and three baths, with three bedrooms on the main level and a fourth downstairs. Warm wood interiors, cathedral ceilings, and a loft keep the mountain character intact, while the finished 1,500-square-foot walk-out basement adds a second kitchen and enough space to function as guest quarters, an in-law suite, or a more independent living area.

Outside, the property stretches across 4.99 acres with wooded privacy, a fenced yard, hot tub, fire pit, detached workshop, and creek frontage. Mountaintown Creek, a stocked trout stream, is also just a short walk away, giving this one a strong connection to the outdoors without having to leave the community.

Residents of Coosawattee also have access to community amenities including river access, pools, a fitness center, and playgrounds, while short-term rentals are currently allowed.

Our 2027 Business Planning Clinic brought KW Elevate agents together to get clear on the numbers, build stronger models, identify where business will come from, and turn big goals into actionable plans.

A huge THANK YOU to Jesse Coleman for spending the day with us and bringing the energy, perspective, and practical guidance our agents can carry straight into 2027. Jesse challenged us to think bigger, break through our current ceilings, and most importantly, build the models that make the next level possible.

And thank you to every agent who showed up, participated, asked questions, did the work, and invested a full day into their business.

Now the plans are on paper.

Time to execute. 🚀

Today, our KW Elevate family is grieving the loss of one of our own.

Brian Allison passed away yesterday evening after a courageous battle with cancer.

Brian was so much more than a real estate agent. He was a husband, a father, a coach, a mentor, a friend, and a deeply valued member of this community.

As part of the Mountain Life Team and the KW Elevate family, Brian brought the same care and commitment to real estate that he brought to every other part of his life. He loved his clients, took pride in serving people well, and was the kind of person others genuinely enjoyed working alongside.

But anyone who knew Brian knew that his greatest love was his family. His wife, Pam, his daughter, Riley, and his son, Pierson meant everything to him.

And then there was football.

Coaching wasn’t simply something Brian did. It was part of who he was. As a longtime high school football coach and former athletic director, Brian spent years investing in young people, building teams, teaching lessons that went far beyond the field, and leaving an impact on countless players, families, coaches, and communities along the way.

We were incredibly fortunate to have Brian as part of the Mountain Life Team and our Keller Williams Elevate family, and even more fortunate to know him as a person.

Our hearts are with Pam, Riley, Pierson, the Mountain Life Team, and the entire Allison family during an unimaginable time.

FEATURED WITH CHRIS & NICK HOLDEN | LT 144 Alcan Way, Ellijay GA

Now offered with Chris and Nick Holden, this 1.37-acre lot in Coosawattee gives buyers a chance to start with the part that matters most: the setting.

The property is gently sloping, wooded, and positioned for an easier build than many mountain lots, with room for a driveway, homesite, detached garage, and parking. Mature hardwoods and seasonal views keep the feel natural, while the surrounding community adds a long list of amenities without taking away from the privacy of the lot itself.

Owners in Coosawattee have access to the river, pool, tennis and pickleball courts, fitness center, clubhouse, playground, pavilion, and other shared recreation spaces. The lot is also approved for short-term rentals under the current listing information, giving future owners flexibility in how they use the property.

For someone who wants to build rather than settle for what’s already out there, this is a simple place to start.

FEATURED WITH DEVIN HAZEN | 7616 Highland Oaks Drive, Young Harris GA

Now offered with Devin Hazen, this Young Harris home is all about flexibility, easy main-level living, a finished lower level with room to spread out, and a workshop that gives the property a little more than the average floor plan.

Set on .83 acres in Highland Oaks, the home offers four bedrooms and three full baths, with two bedrooms on the main level, including the primary suite. The updated kitchen flows into the dining and living spaces, while new hardwood floors carry through to a bright family room that keeps the main level feeling open and comfortable.

Downstairs, the finished lower level adds a second family room, kitchenette, two more bedrooms, a full bath, and a separate craft room, a setup that works well for guests, extended family, hobbies, or simply having more usable space. Laundry hookups on both levels add another layer of practicality.

Out back, the two-story workshop is the feature that really sets this one apart. With its own hot water and phone access, it’s ready for projects, storage, creative work, or whatever the next owner needs it to become.

FEATURED WITH ANGELA EDWARDS | LT 302/303 W Hwy 515, Blairsville GA

Now offered with Angela Edwards, this 11.46-acre tract just outside downtown Blairsville is less about what’s already here and more about what could be built next.

With direct road frontage, paved access, gently rolling terrain, and Highway 515 just outside the property, the site offers the kind of scale that opens the door to a much bigger conversation than a single homesite.

The property sits adjacent to an established church campus and is positioned within easy reach of downtown Blairsville, shopping, dining, schools, medical facilities, and major transportation routes. The listing notes potential concepts ranging from residential development and senior living to educational, recreational, institutional, or mixed-use ideas, all subject to the appropriate approvals, zoning, utility verification, and due diligence.

For a developer, investor, organization, or private buyer looking for a substantial tract in a growing North Georgia market, this is the kind of property where the value is in the possibilities.

CLOSED WITH RAYMOND CATENA | 348 Riverwalk Circle, Hayesville NC

Another closing for Raymond Catena, this one in the Riverwalk community, where easy one-level living and a walkable connection to downtown Hayesville made for a pretty compelling combination.

Built in 2020, the three-bedroom, two-bath home offered 1,748 square feet with an open layout, nine-foot ceilings, a split-bedroom floor plan, and year-round mountain views. The kitchen was designed for everyday use, with generous cabinetry, pull-out storage, pantry space, and a gas range, while the primary suite added a walk-in shower, double vanity, and large walk-in closet.

Riverwalk also takes some of the maintenance off the homeowner’s plate, with lawn care, weekly trash service, and road upkeep included through the association — leaving a little more time to enjoy the porch, patio, and the town just down the road.

Congratulations to Raymond and his sellers on a successful closing.

Closed at $346,000

FEATURED WITH TRACY KROHN | 4687 Murphy Highway, Mineral Bluff GA

Now offered with Tracy Krohn, this Mineral Bluff retreat gives you the kind of space that’s getting harder to find, more than 3,600 square feet, over 2.7 wooded acres, and outdoor living on every level.

Built in 2021, the home was designed to feel connected to its setting. Covered, screened, and open decks wrap around the house, giving nearly every floor its own place to step outside, whether that means morning coffee, dinner by the outdoor fireplace, a soak in the hot tub, or simply a quiet evening surrounded by trees.

Inside, the vaulted great room is filled with natural light and anchored by a stacked-stone fireplace. Barn doors open to a loft above the living space, while the main-level primary suite connects directly to the screened porch and its own fireplace, a detail that makes the entire level feel especially easy to settle into.

Upstairs, both guest bedrooms have private covered decks. Downstairs, the finished terrace level shifts into entertainment mode with a bonus/game room, wet bar, additional bedroom, full bath, and direct access back outside.

The home has been used gently as a second residence, is offered furnished with some exclusions, and short-term rentals are currently allowed. The sellers are also offering $10,000 toward buyer closing costs, adding one more reason to take a closer look.

JUST LISTED WITH NOAH BEARDEN | 117 Harris Ridge Court, Young Harris GA

Now listed with Noah Bearden of The Mountain Life Team, this Young Harris home proves you don’t need a massive footprint to live exceptionally well in the mountains, you just need the right rooms, the right outdoor spaces, and a view worth building around.

Set on 1.29 acres, the home offers 1,910 square feet of easy one-level living with two private bedroom suites and year-round, long-range mountain views that become part of the house itself.

Inside, vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, hardwood floors, shiplap-style walls, and natural wood details give the home plenty of mountain character without making it feel heavy. The kitchen adds a copper farmhouse sink and generous pantry, while a separate mudroom-style entry brings in the kind of everyday function that’s easy to appreciate once you live with it.

Both bedrooms open through double doors into the finished sunroom, where a wall of windows keeps the mountains front and center. Outside, the view continues across an open deck and a freestanding covered entertaining area connected by a stone patio, complete with a built-in bar for evenings that inevitably stretch a little longer than planned.

A powered workshop, covered carport, no association dues, and short-term rental eligibility add practicality to a home that already gets the lifestyle part right. It’s also being offered largely furnished, making it easy to settle in and start enjoying it from day one.
