3 Georgia Retreats with Riverfront, Beach Access, and Mountain Views

Along the Etowah River in Kingston, this private retreat unfolds across 9.2 scenic acres, pairing a thoughtfully designed main residence with an attached guest cottage. The primary home offers 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and 2 half baths, while the cottage adds its own kitchen, living area, bedroom, full bath, walk-in closet, and laundry—creating a flexible layout for extended stays or everyday ease. A finished basement sets the tone for relaxed entertaining with a billiard room, bar area, and one of three fireplaces. Outdoors, daily life naturally moves to multiple covered and screened porches and a large deck, all supported by a full-house generator for added peace of mind. A spacious meadow invites gardening, playing ball, or keeping a few livestock, just minutes from Cartersville or Rome.

Along the water’s edge on Tybee Island’s Back River, 1605 Chatham Avenue #D is a 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath retreat with deeded beach access just steps from the shoreline. Back River is known for its wide sunset views and quieter beaches, offering a more relaxed rhythm than the busier stretches of the island. Days here can unfold with easy access to kayaking and paddleboarding, then drift into afternoons spent exploring nearby dining and shops. Built in 1965 and offered as-is, the home presents a rare chance to personalize a coastal getaway in one of Tybee’s most desirable locations—equally suited to weekend escapes, a vacation home, or a simple place to return to the water again and again.

From its elevated setting in Rabun Gap, this charming log cabin frames sunset mountain views and an easygoing rhythm of one-level living. An inviting front porch swing opens to a bright, open plan where vaulted ceilings lift the living room, dining area, and kitchen into one seamless gathering space. A gas fireplace anchors quiet evenings, while the kitchen keeps things practical and polished with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar for casual meals. Outside, a tiered deck extends the living space into the landscape, with a hot tub designed for end-of-day unwinding. Stepless entry, hardwood floors, and an attached 2-car garage with ample storage add comfort and function. Enjoy the balance of nature and access—less than 10 minutes to Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School and 15–20 minutes to Downtown Clayton, The Hambidge Center, Andy’s Trout Farm, and local hiking destinations.
