93 Bigham Rd Trion, GA 30753

''Elrond's house was perfect, whether you liked food or sleep or story-telling or singing (or reading), or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all. Merely to be there was a cure for weariness.... Evil things did not come into the secret valley of Rivendell.'' - J.R.R. Tolkien.



The tranquil estate of ''Rivendell'' resides on 50.6 +/- acres at 93 Bigham Road in Trion, Georgia.

The main residence is post and beam construction with kiln-dried, douglas fir, heavy timber and hickory dowel pins. Firmly placed on a poured concrete foundation and assembled with SIP panels for maximum energy efficiency and tight water-proofing. The real stone and cypress exterior siding with the cedar shake roof give the home a feeling of rustic, woodsy and cozy. The floors are wide-planked, tongue and groove, white pine, soft hardwood with radiant heat on both levels and slate flooring in the kitchen, dining room and master bathroom.

From the dining room, glide onto the screened-in porch with plenty of room for dining, lounging or just sitting and thinking best. It includes roughed in plumbing for the opportunity to add an outdoor kitchen at a later time.

Between the master en suite and laundry room, through a hidden mirrored-door, a staircase leads down into the partial and unfinished basement. With poured foundation walls and ceilings, it presents as the perfect location for the 10' x 7' built in vault and adjoining bunker/safe room.
