About this property
Tranquil Park Like Setting Nestled in a Secluded Valley License #008804
A delightful surprise awaits when you turn off of Murphy Highway and follow the private road and long driveway that suddenly opens up to an impressive chalet type home surrounded by towering trees. Enjoy the nearly three acre partially wooded property that includes a huge grassy area perfect for tossing a ball or playing volleyball and badminton (toys provided). Two branches meander through the property and make for a perfect source of water for regular wildlife visitors including deer, wild turkey, rabbits and groundhogs. There are several fruit trees including blueberries, pears and figs and many flowering plants that bloom during different parts of the year. Spring time will delight when there are rhododendron, mountain laurel, daylily and iris blooms everywhere you look. There is an outdoor pavered patio and fire pit that will be sure to keep you warm on cool nights.
Step into a spacious living area with soaring ceilings, skylights and a wall of windows that make you feel like you’re outside. There is a 43” smart TV to watch favorite shows and stream in shows like Netflix and Amazon with your membership. A stone propane fireplace and central heat and air will keep you comfortable at any time of year. French doors in the living room bar area open to the deck which is where you can quietly observe deer grazing in the yard and catch a light show of fireflies at night in spring and summer. The kitchen is equipped with a Keurig coffee maker, two microwave ovens, two crockpots, and all the pots, pans and utensils needed. Gather around the farm style kitchen table with four chairs and bench which can seat 6 or 7. Feel free to take cuttings from several herb bushes that adorn the side and back of the house including lemon balm, peppermint, spearmint, onion and greek sage which will enhance your meal. Next to the kitchen is a laundry room with full size washer and dryer and entrance to the two car garage.
There is plenty of elbow room with 3500 sq feet of living space. The main floor has a queen bed and walk -in closet. There is a tub/shower and a double sink in the vanity area which is equipped with linens, lighted make-up mirror, a hair dryer, shampoo and toiletries. Upstairs is a huge carpeted bedroom with a king bed, reading rocking chair, walk-in closet and fully equipped bath with double sink, shower and deep soaking tub. The daylight basement is fully furnished and has french doors that open to a delightful covered patio and pavered fire pit area. You’ll have hours of fun in the game room playing ping pong, watching DVDs, reading books, and playing multiple board games. There is a queen sofa bed in this room for extra guests. The basement has a separate bedroom with full bath, tub and shower. There is also a dining area and kitchenette with refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker.
Even though you feel secluded in this valley paradise, it takes only 10 minutes to reach downtown Blairsville with its many amenities, including markets, restaurants, bars, full gym, pickleball and frequent festivals and special events. Nottely Marina is less than 5 minutes away where you can rent a boat or kayak and explore the beautiful lake which boasts an area of cliffs and rope swings. Chattahoochee National Forest, Vogel State Park, Meeks Park, hiking trails, and many waterfall hikes are all around. The very popular town of Blue Ridge is right down the road. There is a helpful list of recommended sites in the house for your convenience.
Our goal is to make your stay memorable and as fun and comfortable as possible. We welcome any comments and/or suggestions for improvements. https://www.southernliving.com/blairsville-ga-8706297

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Darla Schroeder

We purchased Hemphill House in February 2024. Our primary home is in Florida. Our second home in Blairsville is a wonderful change from the hustle and bustle of Pinellas County. You can't see any neighbor homes at all during spring and summer and only a slight view of one neighbor home in the distance in winter. Wildlife is abundant on this property and quietly admiring daily deer is something we enjoy. Besides quiet times, we enjoy playing pickleball at nearby courts, hiking waterfalls, and renting a boat on gorgeous Lake Nottely.
Why they chose this property
There are only two homes on Hemphill Dr. There is a narrow paved road in good condition which leads to our house at the end of a long and private drive. The driveway gently slopes down into a valley where the house is located and no other homes are usually visible. There are no steep hills to worry about. We chose this location for the relative solitude and privacy it affords.
What makes this property unique
The property is very spacious, surrounded by nature, yet minutes to the lake and to downtown Blairsville.
