135 Beaver Trail Athens, GA 30605

One owner totally cool custom 1970's contemporary lodge in the woods on 4+ very secluded gated acres overlooking rushing creek falls below, making for day and night natural music to your ears. The property is native woodlands (IE not an old terraced cotton farm) and it's awesome. Woodland gardens and trails around the property have been lovingly curated for decades and it shows. Wildflowers, cultivar shrubs, perennials, rock walls and stone steps, water falls and water features. Imposing, large-shouldered home is surrounded by large decks. Huge stone stack fireplace outside creates a massive hearth in the two-story, completely wood-clad living room. Interior of home is about as lodge-like as it is homey/cozy. Massive windows everywhere allow the woods into the home from every angle. Main floor has dedicated office with cherry built-ins and overlooks the front gardens and is a soul-inviting writer's retreat. Eat-in kitchen has breakfast area overlooking kitchen deck and waterfall feature built into the hillside (water serenade and coffee!). Kitchen was totally renovated recently with mexican tile, custom maple cabinets (with such incredibly functional interiors), granite counters, subzero fridge, wall oven, microwave and warming drawer, recessed lighting, cooktop and retracting vent hood. Way way more. Dining Room beckons from the kitchen and is simply incredible with the woods beyond framed by a large picture window. Main floor has full bath and laundry too. All bedrooms are upstairs with the master containing two large "windows" overlooking the living room far below (they have louvered shutters for privacy as needed). Other two bedrooms have cool corner window sets making for great light and more views. Two drive-under garages are roomy, both with spacious storage rooms beyond. Gas available at the home for a gas cook top if desired. House heated/cooled by heat pump but hydronic heat available as well. This architecturally significant home has been lovingly maintained and appropriately updated to preserve the original aesthetic. All this 2.25 miles from UGA vet med campus and the rapidly evolving east side retail corridor. GA State Bot Gardens, Campus and Downtown and Five Points all just a few minutes beyond that. A must see!
