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 3 bedrooms and 3 baths in the main home, with 1 bedroom and bath on each level. A separate 4th bedroom and bath above the detached two-car garage provides added privacy for guests, a home office, or bunk room. A brand new furnace and heat pump recently intalled serving the entire home. 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.
