Design-Led Hospitality Development | Finish-Out, $641 Pre-Open ADR

Starting Bid: December 16th, 2026

Brokered by Matthews and powered by RealINSIGHT Marketplace, 536 Vayhaus Trail is a partially constructed, design-led boutique hospitality development on approximately 60 wooded acres in Ellijay, GA. Nine custom glass pavilions are substantially built, with power metered to each cabin and water, septic, HVAC, and roughly 1.2 miles of internal road in place. Remaining work is concentrated in finish-out, and the seller’s itemized estimate puts completion and opening of the nine cabins at $744,050, including contingency, with a 90 to 120 day target after a funded restart. Cabinets, appliances, dipping-pool shells, fireplaces, and other specialty components transfer with the sale. Before construction paused, the project drew national press and 10 direct reservations at a $641 weighted ADR, including a two-night buyout of all nine cabins; those bookings were later canceled and refunded. A conceptual master plan adds Cabins 10 to 12, an office, and a permitted Social Pavilion. The property is offered as-is, and the buyer will complete the remaining scope with its own contractor. Set just outside Blue Ridge in the North Georgia mountain market favored by Atlanta-area travelers, the asset offers a meaningful head start over ground-up development for STR operators, boutique hospitality groups, and private buyers.

Nine Custom Glass Pavilions Largely Built: Full-height glazing, cypress ceilings, microcement walls, and skylit baths are already in place.

12-Cabin Master Plan With Permitted Pavilion: Plan adds Cabins 10 to 12, an office, and a Social Pavilion that carries its own county permit.

Major Systems and Site Utilities Installed: Each cabin is individually metered for power, with water, septic, Wi-Fi, and HVAC systems installed.

60 Wooded Acres in North Georgia Mountains: Creek, ravines, and 1.2 miles of internal road give each dispersed cabin site strong separation.
