This off-grid, off ground Georgia treehouse is on the market for $1.2M

A 60-foot steel tower with a two-container home in the forest near Epworth, Georgia, is on the market for $1.2 million. The property combines an unusual elevated retreat with river frontage, waterfalls and mountain views, and is aimed at buyers seeking an off-grid escape close to nature.

The 14.31-acre site borders the Chattahoochee National Forest and has about 3,000 feet of river frontage. The tower, completed in 2023, includes a bedroom and kitchenette, a bathroom with a shower, and a rooftop fire pit and lounge; reaching it means climbing 82 stairs. It has solar power, a well, septic system and generator, and has earned about $92,000 a year as a short-term rental over a nine-month period.
