HERE THE MOUNTAINS BECOME YOUR BACKYARD - AND THE COHUTTA WILDERNESS IS JUST BEYOND YOUR GATE. Welcome to 361 Forest Service Road, a rare North Georgia mountain property bordering U.S. Forest Service land within the Chattahoochee National Forest and near the Cohutta Wilderness, offering extraordinary access to thousands of acres of protected forest and endless opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation. Behind custom wrought iron gates, located twenty minutes from town this extraordinary 20.66-acre private mountain estate unfolds into rolling pastures, year-round flowing creeks, a stocked pond, mountain views, horse facilities, and the kind of privacy that is increasingly difficult to find. The beautifully renovated and expanded 5-bedroom, 4-bath mountain home blends rustic character with thoughtful modern updates, including a spectacular great room with a massive stacked-stone fireplace, beautiful wood finishes, a completely redesigned chef's kitchen with commercial grade stainless smart appliances, and multiple porches designed to take in the surrounding mountains, pastures and spectacular sunsets. Then there is The Saloon-a truly unexpected bonus. The expanded barn combines horse stalls, shop space and storage with a finished entertaining area featuring a custom bar, full kitchen, full bath, sleeping quarters, commercial-grade cooler formally used at the Atlanta Braves stadium, and a roll-up door opening to a patio overlooking the property and the creek below. This is not your ordinary barn! Three fenced paddocks each feature their own flowing creek and run-in shed, while multiple outdoor gathering areas and fire pits including one beside a serene waterfall make this property as enjoyable outdoors as it is inside. Two additional buildable residential lots totaling 6.19 acres across the creek are included, creating an exceptional opportunity for a private family compound, mountain retreat, or simply additional privacy. And when adventure calls, step beyond your property line and into the mountains-hiking, biking, horseback riding, trout fishing, and endless outdoor exploration are right here at the gate to the Chattahoochee National Forest leading into the Cohutta Wilderness. This sale includes (3) parcels of land: 0022 C 00601 - the main parcel of land with home, barn, pastures, run in sheds, creek, pond etc. and is 14.47 acres and is enrolled in CUVA - the 10-year Conservation Use Program. The other (2) parcels of land included are: 0022 C 00608 which is 2.97 acres and 0022 C 0068B which is 3.22 acres. All are part of a community known as Buck Creek Crossing Devils Den which does have a $250.00 a year fee for both lots (only), for road maintenance. PLEASE NOTE: There are third party sites that do not list all three parcels of land included in this sale. Therefore, their calculation and valuations may be incorrect.
