Build Your Scenic Cabin While Staying Connected to Your Atlanta Roots
If you’re dreaming of a house in the woods or by the lake that still gives you easy access to the city, Greater Atlanta offers the best of both worlds.
Land sells for as little as $5,000-$10,000 an acre in rural areas outside the city, which means you can build your creekside cabin or family homestead on a budget. You can have the peace and tranquility of a country home without giving up easy access to all the city has to offer.
Here are two of the most popular locations to build a log cabin home away from Atlanta:
Blue Ridge – A charming mountain town with a thriving artistic community, the Blue Ridge area gives you easy access to more than 100,000 acres of Chattahoochee National Forest, 300 miles of hiking trails and 100 miles of trout streams. It’s no surprise that people are scrambling to build homes here. You can find wooded lots for reasonable prices in this area, from McCaysville to Blue Ridge to Newport.
Gainesville – Living in or on the outskirts of Gainesville gives you access to one of the most popular lakes in the entire country, Lake Lanier. It’s a great place to live if you love the outdoors, with the foothills of the North Georgia mountains only about an hour north. You could easily spend a lifetime boating, fishing, rafting, and waterskiing on the lake’s picturesque waters.
