Description

Bordering protected U.S. Forest Land in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains near Clayton and Black Rock Mountain State Park, this two-tract estate offers an unmatchable setting of privacy, security, and mountain beauty. Buffered by beautiful natural forest of native hardwoods, evergreens and rhododendron, a professionally designed woodland garden surrounding the home has been meticulously developed as evident upon entering through the custom, code-gated black steel entry gates flanked by stone columns and iron lanterns. Once inside and following the winding drive, there is a gated, irrigated kitchen garden with a 5-board wildlife fence surrounding the raised beds and custom cedar SunShed. Continuing your travel, the impressive drive features a gorgeous concrete and stone-veneer and blue stone-capped vehicle bridge reminiscent of Augusta National, over the cascading water of the pristine creek. Inviting a daily stroll are the lengthy mulched walking paths with five wooden footbridges by carefully placed boulders and stone walls. Take respite on the stone patio by the stream and entertain at the stone fire pit. Words can't describe the beauty of the mature abundance of curated flora, including Kwanzaa cherry, red bud, dogwoods, beauty berry, azaleas, rhododendron, hosta, daylilies, snowball viburnum, pachysandra, daisies, leucothoe, 3 varieties of hydrangea. Other outbuildings and ground amenities include a cedar wood and tool shed, and a separate climate-controlled pantry/storage building with shiplap walls and ceiling and LPV flooring. Across the central driveway on the second tract lies a prime buildable site overlooking the meadow and stream, offering tremendous potential for a multi-generational estate or a primary residence with the existing cabin as a private guest retreat. The meticulously maintained home combines classic Cabin character with thorough modern updates, featuring wide-plank wood floors, 3/4 inch solid knotty pine beadboard paneling, Andersen windows, a metal roof, and a screened porch overlooking the natural surroundings. The curb appeal continues to the front porch with ramp access, which opens to the foyer. The great room has exposed beams and a charming stone fireplace with an original cooking hook. Recently completed is the fully renovated kitchen equipped with KraftMaid Reserve cabinetry, quartz countertops, and premium GE Cafe appliances (five-year warranty prepaid). The layout is wonderfully comfortable, offering a main-level primary suite and tile bath, and two guest rooms and a tile bath on the second level, each with windows that offer a tree house view of the surrounding beauty. Backed by high-end infrastructure, including a whole-house Generac generator with a buried 500-gallon propane tank, an encapsulated crawl space with a dehumidifier, private well, and a robust Trane HVAC system, this property, with a long-term maintenance contract in place, delivers a true turnkey mountain sanctuary. This is one you must see! Located just minutes from the dining and shopping of downtown Clayton and the recreation of Lakes Burton, Rabun, Seed, Tallulah Gorge State Park, and the Wild and Scenic Chattooga River, this property offers the ultimate legacy getaway in the heart of the North Georgia Mountains.
