Property Description

Imagine ending each day with breathtaking sunsets over layers of year-round mountain views. Nestled on nearly an acre in sought-after Coosawattee River Resort, this meticulously maintained 4BR/4BA mountain retreat offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and outdoor living. Never used as a short-term rental, yet ideally suited for one, this home offers excellent investment potential as well as a wonderful full-time residence or vacation getaway. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, warm hardwood floors, a cozy fireplace, and dramatic prow-front windows fill the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area with natural light while framing stunning western-facing mountain views. A wraparound deck and screened porch invite you to enjoy the scenery in every season. The thoughtfully designed layout features three bedrooms and three baths in the main home, with one bedroom and bath on each level. A separate fourth bedroom and bath above the detached two-car garage provides added privacy for guests, a home office, or bunk room. The terrace level is made for entertaining, featuring over 1,000 square feet of outdoor living space complete with a hot tub, full bar area, fire pit, and multiple gathering spaces. Ample parking is a valuable bonus for hosting family, friends, or future rental guests. Additional features include a whole-house generator, partial furnishings, easy paved access from the Legion Road gate, and abundant wildlife, including Coosawattee's famous deer that often wander through the property. Residents enjoy resort-style amenities including indoor and outdoor pools, tennis courts, fitness center, mini golf, river access, parks, walking trails, and year-round activities. Whether you're searching for a mountain retreat, investment property, or forever home, this one delivers the best of North Georgia mountain living.
