If you aren't just looking for a home, but a SETTING, that is an outdoor lover's paradise, this one is for you. Just under 14 acres with a mile of beautiful trails throughout the woods and 2500 feet of Wahoo Creek/Little River frontage providing so many spots to relax and enjoy nature, including a prayer garden and a brand new 24x24 pavilion. It's like having your own private park with several areas with swings, picnic tables, campfire sites and so much to do...camping, picnics, kayaking (from the back yard you can reach Lake Lanier in about an hour and a half), tubing, panning for gold (Ben Parks Road is named after Ben Parks who discovered gold in Georgia) long walks/hikes along the water's edge and through the woods. If you have dogs, they will be the luckiest dogs ever and will love every minute. It is hard to put a value on the property alone as it is a rare find. As you step into the home from the front porch, there is a masonry stone fireplace in the den along one wall, extra large windows with wooded views, a spacious den and kitchen with shiplap ceilings and are open to one another to enjoy the ambiance of the fireplace! The kitchen has custom hickory cabinets, white marble counters and a soapstone counter on the expansive island. Just off the kitchen is another large 24x22 room with walls of windows surrounded by trees. It has such a cozy relaxing feel as all the walls and ceiling are finished in natural shiplap trimmed with beams. From this main level you can enjoy the covered front porch or back deck overlooking the river...great spots for your morning coffee or an iced tea! The master bedroom located on this main level looks over the creek/river and has doors leading to the back deck. The master bath is updated with a clawfoot tub, new class and tile shower, and his and her separate vanities. As you go downstairs to the finished basement there is a an additional great room with masonry stone fireplace which mimics the upstairs. On either side of the great room there are large bedrooms, each with full baths. The great room and one of the bedrooms leads out to a covered porch the length of the house, overlooking the creek/river. Enjoy the beauty of each Season like never before and all the wildlife you will see like deer, fox and George, The Great Blue Heron swooping down over the water. There is also a large detached garage/workshop, and another 20x30 out building for storage with a covered parking area for your boat or RV. The home has had major updates since 2019 including a complete remodel of the upstairs den/kitchen, addition of the 24x22 room with shiplap and beams, large windows added on the main level, new hardwood floors and an updated master bath. Downstairs all flooring was updated and windows added. Outdoors new fencing was added to define the property line, a 24x24 pavilion and a prayer garden were added by the water, stone was added on the exterior, a new well house was added and outdoor lighting to highlight the beautiful trees and light up your evenings outdoors. On this property you are away from the hustle and bustle but only 20 minutes to Dahlonega, Dawsonville and Gainesville making this a great location. We hope someone will enjoy this special property as much as the owners have. It is truly a magical place and they have memories that will last a lifetime....We feel it is a once in a lifetime find.
