An Angler’s Paradise: Georgia Mountain Retreat Where You Can Fish From the Front Porch Is Listed for $709K

In the North Georgia mountains, where trout streams wind through the forest, a newly relisted creekside retreat is offering a fisherman's dream: the chance to quite literally make the catch of the day from your own front porch.

Located at 401 Mountain Rivers Road in Mineral Bluff, the fully renovated property, which features over 200 feet of pristine water frontage, recently returned to the market for $709,900, having initially been brought to market in August 2024 with the elevated asking price of $799,900.

"Extraordinary family estate and creek front retreat along Hemptown Creek, one of North Georgia's stocked trout streams nestled in Fannin County, widely known as the Trout Capital of Georgia," the listing crows.

"This rare property offers a private oasis with 241 feet of pristine water frontage, natural beauty, and exceptional versatility."

Idyllic listing images reveal a glimpse into the natural beauty that surrounds the primary residence on the property, including the aforementioned creek, which flows past the stunning outdoor patio area, shaded by tall, leafy trees.

"A screened porch overlooks the creek, offering a front-row seat to one of the area's most sought after trout waters, while a rock firepit along the water's edge invites relaxing evenings by the creek," the description goes on.

And while the setting alone makes it sound like a postcard, the property itself offers much more than your typical mountain cabin.

Positioned along Hemptown Creek, one of North Georgia’s well-known stocked trout streams, the roughly 1.09-acre property includes not one, but three separate living spaces.

The main residence features two bedrooms and two bathrooms spread across approximately 1,821 square feet, while a detached in-law suite and separate tiny house expand the property’s flexibility for guests, rental income, or even multigenerational living.

There are even multiple garages on the property, one of which was designed especially to house a golf cart, which is included in the sale.

"Additional features include a golf cart barn, three-car garage, garden shed, and all-paved access," the listing adds.

Built in 1989, the home has since undergone a full 2025 renovation that brought with it all new flooring, kitchen cabinetry, refreshed bathrooms, and upgraded appliances—all while maintaining its original rustic mountain charm.

The renovation also took into account the changing seasons, implementing and maintaining design elements meant to protect the property throughout the year.

"A wood-burning fireplace creates a warm, inviting living space," the listing adds. "Cedar siding, a metal roof, and a whole-house generator provide durability and peace of mind."

Wood-paneled ceilings, stone accents, and oversized windows help frame the surrounding landscape, with a dining area that opens directly onto creek views. 

If your ideal summer looks a bit like sipping sweet tea on a screened-in porch to the sound of rushing water, with plenty of room for hosting friends and family, then this Georgia retreat might just be the dream home you’ve been waiting for.
