7 Georgia Retreats from Tybee Island Shores to Downtown Atlanta

Along the water’s edge on Tybee Island’s Back River, 1605 Chatham Avenue #D pairs a laid-back setting with deeded, private beach access just steps from the water. With four bedrooms and 2.5 baths, the 1965 residence is designed for easy escapes—whether as a weekend getaway, vacation home, or full-time coastal retreat. Back River is known for wide sunset views and quieter beaches, a local favorite for unhurried days that move naturally from kayaking and paddleboarding to nearby dining and shops. Offered as-is, the home presents a rare chance to personalize a waterfront retreat in one of Tybee’s most desirable pockets, shaping the space around the rhythms of riverfront living.

Along the water’s edge in Blue Ridge, this three-bedroom, two-bath home is set in a remarkable North Georgia landscape, located off Colwell Road near the Cohutta Wilderness Area. The property’s defining feature is its collection of hard-to-find water elements: hundreds of feet of small creek frontage plus a stocked private pond with a dock—an easy invitation to spend mornings fishing close to home. Year-round mountain and pasture views frame the setting, while the “park like” grounds offer privacy and room to spread out. A huge workshop and two metal carports add practical flexibility for equipment, hobbies, or recreational gear. Inside, the house is ready for updates and is being sold as is, leaving ample space for a personalized weekend retreat or full-time mountain getaway shaped around the outdoors.

Within one of Bibb County’s most established gated communities, this updated 3BR/2BA residence balances everyday ease with a welcome sense of privacy.

In the kitchen, all appliances are included, refrigerator too, making move-in feel refreshingly straightforward. Step outside to a large rear deck designed with entertaining in mind, then return to the practicality of a two-car garage. Minutes from shopping, dining, and interstate access, the setting keeps daily errands simple while the gated entrance adds an extra layer of security.
