4 Beds ⋅ 5 Baths ⋅ 1003283 MLS
Highlands has its share of log cabins, but only a small fraction of those sit in town. 472 Chestnut Street is one. Built well before the 1960s by one of the region's most celebrated cabin builders, the home has been lived in, looked after, and now thoughtfully brought forward without losing what made it remarkable in the first place. The logs have been refreshed and have been made quietly, in service of the original. Inside, the renovation reads through materials rather than gestures. The kitchen is anchored by reclaimed barnwood and an imported Italian 6-burner stove, with a custom built-in refrigerator, deep pantry storage, and finishes chosen to age well. The main ensuite is layered — limestone accent walls, black granite, unlacquered brass fittings, an oversized soaking tub, and a tiled shower featuring hand-made Moroccan tile with a locally crafted trout inlay. Two additional ensuite bedrooms upstairs carry the same considered hand, with imported tile and limestone floors. Throughout the main cabin: hand-hewn beams overhead, tongue-and-groove ceilings, original wide-board white oak floors that have earned their patina, and a hand-laid stone fireplace at the heart of the great room. A covered breezeway leads to a separate guest house with a main-floor living area and an upper bunk room — both finished in the same spirit. In total, the property offers four bedrooms and five baths across both structures. Out back, a firepit sits in a curated garden setting, with Satulah Mountain framed beyond. The practical layer holds up: metal roof, public water and sewer, fiber optic available, and a 0.43-acre level-to-rolling city lot. 472 Chestnut Street is a rare opportunity to own a cabin in one of the most prized in-town settings on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau.

A trail has already been cleared so the property can be toured with ease, allowing you to walk the land, take in the setting, and visit the charming old one-room cabin built when the current owner was a child.

As indicated, the parcel can be divided into four estate-sized lots, but an owner may want to consider other options. A preliminary rendering of how the parcel can be utilized is available.

Regardless how a buyer may choose to proceed, the options are mesmerizing.Please check with the listing agents for other ideas about maximizing this beautiful place.
