River noise, constant. Low and soothing. An A-frame sits at the edge of the Ellijay River where a mountain-fed creek meets it. The lot is 2.4 acres, double, gated, and screened by trees. No road sightlines. No neighbor windows. The air smells like wet stone and pine sap. Ferns crowd the bank. Deer move through at first light. Does with twin fawns behind them. Sometimes a buck, antlers caught in the brush, stepping down to drink. The cabin is small and simple, elegant. It holds heat. Honey-toned pine runs up the walls. The fireplace is blue stone, rough-faced, heavy, and cool to the touch until it's lit. Smoke clings to the rocks. The room carries the sweet resin smell of old wood. Ceilings rise into a vault. Clerestory windows face southwest. Afternoon light comes in hard and angled, then slides across the floor in long bands and disappears. A screened porch hangs over the river side. You sit there and hear the creek join the current. Coffee goes lukewarm. Time stretches. Out back, a fire pit sits open to the sky. Flames snap. Stars show up one by one. The river breeze pushes through and drops the temperature fast. Spring brings trout into the shallows. Summer brings bears to the edges, snuffling for grubs, working the ground, moving on. People say the Cherokee gathered here. Ceremonies by moonlight where the river meets the creek. One night here and years of stress begin to melt away. Water over stone. Wind through old elms. No notifications. Just the gate behind you, and the river in front. This land and cabin is PURE MAGIC.
