About This Home

As of September 2022

Welcome to the serene mountain-top retreat that you have been dreaming of. This incredible, ridgetop home boasts the Crabapple Cottage design by Southern Living and sits on a private 5 acres in North Georgia. The entire home has been meticulously upgraded from top to bottom. The home features high-end updates in all bathrooms and both kitchens. The new Trex decking, refinished floors, movie theatre, and incredible views truly separate this home from all others. The picturesque, professionally designed firepit and outdoor spaces look out upon long-range mountain views that never seem to end. The two-car garage and separate utility garage allow all the space and storage for your vehicles, ATVs, gear, and toys. The main kitchen features stainless steel appliances and its own breakfast area separate from the formal dining room. The home features an automatic, whole-house generator with a 500-gallon fuel tank that provides an extra layer of luxury and peace of mind. This serene home is seconds away from the best trout fishing in North Georgia and is only minutes away from Clarkesville, Helen, and Lake Burton.***New Roof coming in two weeks***
