189 Walnut Rd, Blairsvlle, GA 30512 – SOLD

This fabulously remodeled lakefront farmhouse, beautifully blended with a touch of rustic mountain decor, is finally available. With 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and ~3500 total sqft of finished living space, split between two houses on this UNRESTRICTED waterfront lot, this property is sure to satisfy your primary, secondary, and or rental home needs. There’s also an additional adjoining .58-acre lakefront lot that can be purchased separately for added privacy or to build another lakefront home on.

The lower terrace level of the main house has been converted into an in-law suite with the addition of a 2nd kitchen. The primary home includes new tile wood looking flooring, new tongue & groove wood ceilings, new granite countertops, new solid core wood doors, new shiplap walls, new stainless-steel appliances, a metal roof, and new wrap-a-round open deck.

The separate rustic metal building has been remodeled into a ~750 sqft “barn house” with finished new wood looking tile floors and sheetrock walls, wood ceiling, with added power and water (just need a bathroom). This additional structure would make a incredible tiny home for lodging family and friends who are visiting, or an air bnb / vrbo / rental home, or a he/she-shed, waterfront tiki hut– the possibilities are truly endless. A deck could be added to the back of this structure, and you’d be 50 feet from the edge of the water during the summer.

Enjoy mornings sipping your coffee while watching the fog roll over the glassy, mirror-like, motionless water, reflecting the untouched mystic mountain landscape across the lake. Spend your evenings with your favorite beverage in hand watching the sky transform from blue to an array of pinks and purples as the sun sets ducking behind the mountains before your very eyes.

The land by the water is extremely flat and would make a incredible space for picnicking or gardening or setting up your favorite group game like volleyball, paddle ball or croquet. This is unrestricted land, so bring RV, or your boats, or your chickens and goats. The original homeowners took a tremendous amount of pride planting a wide assortment of beautiful flowers that bloom at various times throughout the Spring and Summer. You can also find blackberry bushes, dogwood, mountain laurel, hickory and rhododendron trees growing throughout the property.

Being in a quite cove provides you the luxury of experiencing a true wildlife sanctuary. Countless species of birds and reptiles including bald eagles, hawks, owls, blue & white heron, ducks & mallards & geese, turtles and frogs can be found daily during the summer by the lake. You can also catch deer grazing in the mornings and evenings, a gopher and a fox or two scurrying across the lower portion of the property, and the occasional bear too. Carp are often seen in the shallow banks along the shoreline. You don’t have to venture very far out into the water before it gets deep enough for pleasure boating or fishing to catch the trophy size Trout and Striper caught every year in Lake Nottely.

Less than a mile to a large grocery store and gas station, only a few miles from downtown Blairsville, and a very short drive to other popular mountain towns in Georgia such as Blue Ridge, Ellijay, Helen, Hiawassee, and Murphy in North Carolina. Countless outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, wineries, antique shopping, and arts & craft shows, are only minutes away. Needless to say, with housing inventory low, even fewer lakefront properties available, interest rates at a historic low, the countless possibilities with this property, and a motivated seller, this one won’t last long.
