Welcome to Your Mountain Retreat in Big Canoe, Georgia! Nestled on a serene 1.53-acre lot just 5 minutes from the North Gate and Wildcat Recreation Center, this meticulously maintained home combines modern upgrades with mountain charm. Thoughtfully improved, it’s move-in ready and brimming with standout features. Recent upgrades include a new roof installed in 2022, a concrete driveway with additional parking space completed in 2021, and a durable concrete block retaining wall replacing the original railroad ties. The exterior is further enhanced by timer-controlled pathway lighting and landscape uplighting, adding warmth and curb appeal. For wine enthusiasts, a custom-designed, climate-controlled wine cellar on the terrace level offers a 1,500-bottle capacity. The decks and front porch were resurfaced, stained, and painted in July 2024, ensuring they look fresh and inviting. Inside, the home boasts a beautifully renovated kitchen with granite countertops, a new backsplash, updated appliances, and wood cabinet doors throughout (2015). New carpeting was installed in 2019, and as a second home, the interior has been impeccably maintained and still feels like new. Furnishings are also available for purchase under a separate bill of sale. This special home is located in Pickens County. “Yanoo” translates “bear” in the Cherokee language, and you will see native black bears in Big Canoe, along with many other indigenous wildlife species.
