Discover Your NEW Dream Mountain Retreat
Your New Modern Mountain Escape in Morganton, GA
ABOVE + BEYOND BUILDER-GRADE
288 Hoot Owl Hill is a furnished new-construction mountain home for sale in Morganton, GA, offering high-end finishes, extensive outdoor living spaces and short-term rental potential in the North Georgia mountains. Located in Fannin County near Blue Ridge, Lake Blue Ridge, hiking trails and outdoor recreation, the property combines mountain living with easy access to many of the area’s most popular destinations.
Nestled on 2.02 acres, builder Brandon Mathis of Mathis Construction thought of every detail both inside and out to make this home truly move-in ready.
This is not the kind of new construction where the landscaping stops with a few shrubs around the foundation. The builder treated the entire property as part of the finished home, putting real thought into how the house sits on the land and how the outdoor spaces are used.
*All furnishings included via a separate bill of sale.
288 Hoot Owl Hill, Morganton, GA | GAMLS #10847970 | NEGAMLS #436108 | FMLS #7839599
Professional landscaping, extensive stonework, natural boulders and carefully finished retaining areas give the property an established feel from the moment you arrive. A stone staircase works naturally into the slope, while the circular driveway creates an easy, welcoming approach to the home. Maintenance-free black aluminum railings add a clean, finished look without competing with the mountain setting.
The outdoor living spaces received the same attention. A built-in stone fire pit creates a destination of its own for evenings outside, while the covered deck with its wood-burning fireplace extends the living space into the trees. Below, the paver patio provides another gathering area and is already pre-wired for a future hot tub.
Instead of leaving you with a long list of exterior projects, much of the hard work has already been done. The result is a new home that feels finished, intentional and settled into its surroundings rather than simply placed on a lot.
Appreciate the Rich Features + Modern Conveniences
Warm, natural finishes give the kitchen a rich mountain character while still feeling polished and current. Knotty alder cabinetry is paired with granite countertops, under-cabinet lighting, and a white herringbone tile backsplash that adds subtle texture without overwhelming the space.
Frigidaire Gallery black stainless steel appliances create a sleek contrast against the warm wood tones, while the 6-burner range gives serious cooks plenty of room to work. With generous prep space and an inviting layout, the kitchen feels equally suited for everyday meals or entertaining.
Home Features
3 Beds / 2 Baths
The main-level primary suite offers a private retreat with dual sinks, granite countertops, and a tiled shower, while 2 additional bedrooms are tucked away on the finished lower level. A second full bath serves the lower level, giving guests a comfortable space of their own.
Spacious Living Area
The main living area feels warm and inviting, with hickory floors, a vaulted ceiling, and a gas-log fireplace creating a comfortable mountain atmosphere. Large openings connect the space directly to the covered deck, extending the living area outdoors and bringing the wooded setting into view.
2.02 Acre Lot
Set on 2.02 acres, the property features a circular driveway, professional landscaping, extensive stonework, and natural boulders that give the homesite a finished, established feel. Multiple outdoor spaces, including the covered deck, paver patio, and built-in stone fire pit area, create plenty of opportunities for relaxing and entertaining.
Primary Suite
The main-floor primary suite offers convenient single-level living with a spacious bedroom and an adjoining walk-in closet. Its private bath features dual sinks, granite countertops, and a tiled shower, creating a comfortable retreat tucked away from the lower-level guest rooms.

High-End Fixtures
