This truly one-of-a-kind log cabin, dating from 1820 to 1840, was constructed from hand-hewn chestnut logs and relocated from West Virginia re-built on this 7.84-acre lot overlooking Lake Rabun in 2001. The property offers an abundance of charm while incorporating modern amenities. The pebble stone driveway leads to a spacious, level parking area, with a short stone walkway that takes you to the front porch of the cabin. The open front porch provides plenty of room for seating, allowing you to soak in the tranquility of the mountains. Adjacent to the porch is a newly added grilling area, which also allows access to the generator. Upon entering the cabin, you are greeted by an open living and dining space featuring beautiful wood beams and a stone gas log fireplace, which can be converted back to wood-burning if desired. The dining area flows into a charming kitchen that has been recently updated, including a new window, stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, and added storage in cabinets and shelving. Double doors lead to a back screened porch, which offers additional dining and living space with sweeping views of the mountains and Lake Rabun. Upstairs, the primary bedroom includes an additional fireplace, perfect for cooler nights, and opens to another screened porch that conveniently connects to a second upper bedroom. A shared bathroom in the hallway features a beautiful antique vanity and a modern tiled shower. New stone steps have been added to the side of the home, providing access to the lower level, which has been recently finished. The lower level includes a bunk room or additional living space, a full bathroom, and a laundry room. It also boasts a spacious screened porch with a hanging daybed, perfect for enjoying the views. Significant improvements have been made to the backyard, including a new stone retaining wall, dining patio, stone fire pit area, and a newly built storage shed with a potting bench. A large portion of the backyard is fenced in, and there is a gate providing access to an old logging road and the rest of the property. Don't miss out on this gorgeous property!
