As you pass through the bear emblazoned gates, enjoy the mountain views as you make your way to the spacious, fully concrete driveway that brings you to this impressive lodge with log siding, metal roof, and stone accents. Step into the foyer and be embraced by the cozy touches, like hand-hewn black walnut floors and tongue and beautiful wood ceilings and trim. The house has that cabin feel and warmth, yet is still bright and welcoming with drywall and tons of windows throughout. The expansive great room has tall ceilings, plenty of seating room, wood-burning stone fireplace with gas assist, and custom wrought-iron stairs. The dining space and kitchen area are open to the great room, yet provide just enough separation and is a chef’s dream, with gas cooktop, double wall ovens, abundant cabinets and granite counter space, along with bar seating. The main floor master bedroom has double French doors, and an en-suite bath with soaking tub, separate tile shower, and large walk-in closet. There is also a convenient half bath with laundry on the main floor. Upstairs, find a spacious loft area that is the perfect spot for a bit of friendly foosball competition or just curling up with a good book. The 2nd floor also has a full bath plus two substantial bedrooms with seating areas and their own private decks for marveling at the beautiful mountain views. The fully finished basement has two sets of double French doors, lots of windows, and includes a roomy kitchenette, large seating area, dining space, plus gaming area with a pool table. Perfect for large families looking for their own space while vacationing or those seeking multi-generational living. There is also a large bedroom with French doors leading to outdoor space and a bathroom with tile shower. The outdoor space has been thoughtfully finished with a hot tub covered by its own roof and custom fire pit area surrounded by swinging bench seats. Nestled within a gated community of upscale homes with underground power and all paved roads, find yourself close to several apple orchards, vineyards, hiking and outdoor activities, plus an easy, scenic drive to the necessities and Downtown Ellijay shopping and dining. This beautiful and custom home comes fully furnished and has current rental history. Make your mountain dreams come true with this stunning lodge!
