Perched at approximately 2,800 feet in elevation amid the natural beauty of North Georgia, this remarkable one-owner residence was thoughtfully designed for gathering generations of family and friends under one roof. With just under 10,000 square feet between the main residence and attached guest house, the property offers an extraordinary combination of space, privacy, architectural character, and mountain living.

Altogether, the main residence and guest house offer nine bedrooms, eight baths, four living and family rooms, and two kitchens-providing exceptional flexibility for extended family, guests, and entertaining. Warm woods, natural stone, expansive windows, and dramatic architectural details give the home a character all its own. The addition features beautiful green slate flooring that flows seamlessly outdoors into a private courtyard-one of the property's most memorable spaces. Here, a massive stone fireplace creates a dramatic gathering place alongside a peaceful reflecting pool featuring a commissioned bronze sculpture of geese, cattails, and lily pads.

Meet the cabin that's equal parts cozy, practical, and just a little bit of an overachiever. It starts with a wraparound porch and deck - because one great place to relax simply wasn't enough. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings and a crackling wood-burning fireplace create the kind of living room that practically begs for fuzzy socks, hot cocoa, and "just one more chapter." The updated kitchen is ready for everything from pancake breakfasts to holiday feasts, complete with a step-in pantry that's large enough to hide your snack stash from the rest of the household. The open dining and living areas flow effortlessly onto a cheerful screened porch where coffee tastes better and mosquitoes are forced to admire you from a distance. The main level also features a comfortable guest suite, while upstairs the spacious primary suite offers a generous walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath with a soaking tub that's perfect for pretending emails don't exist. Need flexibility? The lower-level third bedroom - with its own exterior entrance, full bath, and entry hall is currently pulling double duty as a home gym. It could just as easily become a private guest suite, home office, hobby room, or creative studio. Outside, the fenced backyard is ready for pups, playtime, or your future gardening ambitions. The level driveway means easy parking (no mountain driving gymnastics required), and the BONUS is a brand - new roof - because the best home improvements are the ones you don't have to think about. Nestled in Big Canoe's sought-after Equestrian neighborhood, you're just down the road from the trailhead for two nature trails, making spontaneous hikes almost as easy as relaxing on the porch. Only 3 minutes to the gate, 10 minutes to shopping and everything you need, yet feels worlds away from everything!
