A retreat unlike anything else in the North Georgia mountains. Rising 60 feet above the forest floor, River Forest Lookout is a custom-built steel watchtower overlooking the untouched wilderness of the Cohutta Mountains and Chattahoochee National Forest. Set on nearly 14 pristine acres with approximately 3,000 feet of private Jacks River frontage, this extraordinary property offers cascading waterfalls, deep swimming holes, trophy trout waters, and a preserved canopy of native hemlocks. The architecturally distinctive, off-grid watchtower features walls of glass, comfortable living quarters, kitchenette, full bathroom, solar power, and a spectacular rooftop terrace with fire pit and panoramic wilderness views. Sold fully furnished and turnkey, the property has established itself as one of the area's most sought-after Airbnb experiences, boasting exceptional five-star reviews and an impressive $92,000 in gross rental revenue during just nine months of 2026. An additional installed and permitted septic system offers potential for a second retreat, cabin, or expanded hospitality concept. An irreplaceable opportunity to own a truly one-of-a-kind wilderness sanctuary featured in publications like Dwell Magazine, numerous widely-followed Youtube accounts, social platforms, with an established income stream and remarkable potential.
