Fannin County, Georgia.
Land Availability — Fannin County, population 23,682, comprises 391 square miles of land and water.
Desirable home sites are available, as are lots with existing log homes for sale.
You’ll also find several rustic resort communities. The average land price is $14,000 an acre; lots with views and water access command higher prices.
Log-Home Landscape — From a log-building standpoint, the region from north Georgia to nearby east Tennessee and west North Carolina abounds with milled-log companies and their representatives, as well as a host of handcrafters, many of them skilled hewers and dovetailers.
Appalachian flat logs are the regional style, but round logs aren’t rare. Every so often, you’ll run across a big-log home from a western company. Predominant log species are southern yellow pine, eastern white pine and cypress.
