Welcome to 1222 Shope Road, a picturesque and peaceful retreat tucked away in the mountains of Otto, North Carolina. Looking for a weekend escape just far enough to feel like a getaway-but close enough to leave work at 5 and still make it before dark? Welcome to 1222 Shope Road in Otto, North Carolina, just 1 hour and 45 minutes from Atlanta, less than 90 minutes to Asheville, NC and 20 minutes to either Franklin, NC or Clayton, GA and sought-after Rabun County, GA. It's just over the NC line, nestled in the quiet foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This nearly 8-acre slice of Appalachian charm is the perfect retreat for anyone craving peace and a place to relax, build, create, and unwind. Whether you're a hobbyist, handyman, woodworker, or just someone who's been dreaming of a rustic property with room to breathe-this might be your spot. The log cabin (1BR + 2 sleeping lofts) has recently had some great updates-over $30k recently invested, including a new wraparound porch, new flooring, and an updated kitchen. Bring your vision and your tool belt and make it your own perfect getaway spot. Outside, the spring-fed stocked pond, babbling Coweeta Creek, and visiting deer give it all the peaceful, natural energy you could want. The massive barn (once the largest in Macon County) has a fully floored upper level and tons of possibilities: a dream workshop, loft studio, motorcycle rebuild space, woodshop, or even a potential event venue. The possibilities are endless. You'll also find a basic workshop, root cellar, corn crib, and a few other outbuildings that are just waiting for their next life. Want to build a bigger home with a view? You've got plenty of acreage and tons of options. Want to set up a vineyard, gardens, or just a hammock and a fire pit? There's a big field along the creek that would be perfect for corn or other crops. If you're looking for character and potential, come take a look at 1222 Shope Road.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
