Cabin For Sale
511 Grant Street, Clarkesville Georgia
Asking Price $429,000
Our hand hewn log cabin is known to be from the 1790’s and originally stood in Banks County, GA near Fort Hollingsworth. As the story is told, the cabin was a homestead on the Creek Indian Territory line to a Native Indian agent of the U.S. Government. After hearing of its need for a new home, the original developers began discussing possibilities and working with local craftsmen to complete the relocation process to it’s new home in Clarkesville. Filled with the crafts once required for an early American homestead it has come once again into its own.
