858 River Forest Run

Set on 1.52 acres along the Chattahoochee River, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home captures so much of what makes North Georgia living special. Tucked behind a gated entrance and surrounded by mature trees, the setting feels peaceful and private, with the river creating a beautiful backdrop to everyday life. The outdoor spaces are a big part of what makes this home stand out. A covered back porch sits just off the main living area, while the expansive deck overlooks the wooded backyard and river beyond. Out front, a classic rocking-chair porch adds even more charm and gives the home that relaxed North Georgia feel from the moment you arrive. Inside, brand-new flooring runs throughout, and the open-concept living, dining and kitchen areas flow together naturally. The main-level primary suite includes direct access to the covered back porch, keeping the river and outdoor setting connected to the home’s everyday living spaces. Upstairs, two oversized bedrooms and a full bath offer generous additional space and a flexible layout that could also function well as a second primary-style suite. A metal roof adds to the home’s character and low-maintenance appeal, while the combination of acreage, wooded surroundings and Chattahoochee River frontage makes this property feel like a true retreat. Downtown Cleveland, Yonah Mountain Vineyards and Serenity Cellars are nearby, with Helen just a short drive away and Dahlonega approximately 30 minutes from the home. It’s a setting that brings together the river, the trees and the slower pace of North Georgia living in a way that feels hard to find.
