UNIQUE AND HARD-TO-FIND. Custom built in 2001 and thoughtfully maintained, this home has long inspired artists, musicians, and potters. Surrounded by mountains and lush greenery, this property delivers a peaceful retreat with character you won’t find just anywhere. On the main level, you’ll find an open 2-story great room w/wood burning stove, and custom tiling. The main level bedroom opens onto a stunning glass-enclosed porch (not screened), featuring tile flooring, a heater, and expansive windows, perfect for enjoying seasonal mountain views and year-round nature. The walk-in laundry room is located just off the kitchen and offers a laundry sink, generous space, and washer and dryer included. Upstairs, a versatile loft provides the perfect setting for a reading nook, office, or game room. An oversized bedroom and full bathroom complete the upper level. A private gravel drive, shared with only one neighboring home, welcomes you in, leading to a covered carport and inviting outdoor seating area complete with a picnic table and space perfect for a fire pit. Continue down the extended drive to access the basement entrance, where you’ll find additional patio seating, and a full basement with abundant space for a workshop or artist's studio, complete with built-in shelving, and a convenient half bath, plumbed for a full bath. A central vacuum system is already in place and fully functional. The home has HVAC zoned on all 3 levels, and includes a Generac Generator. A separate studio-currently outfitted with a potter’s kiln-provides endless possibilities. The kiln can remain or be removed, and the storage space can be easily repurposed for storage, workspace, or additional flex use. Located in the heart of North Georgia, this home places you near some of the area’s most beloved attractions, including the Folk Pottery Museum of Northeast Georgia, Hardman Farm Historic Site, Old Sautee Store, Sautee Nacoochee Cultural Center, Unicoi State Park & Lodge, Nacoochee Indian Mound, Chattahoochee Stables, and the charming town of Helen. Enjoy local favorites like Bodensee Restaurant, Nacoochee Village Tavern & Pizzeria, Old Bavaria Inn Restaurant, and Habersham Winery, along with fun experiences such as Cool River Tubing, Georgia Mountain Coaster, The Troll Tavern, Uhuburg (Eagle Owl Castle), Charlemagne’s Kingdom, and the local cheese market. Whether you’re searching for a full-time residence, a mountain getaway, or a potential investment property, this home offers endless possibilities, including excellent Airbnb potential. Furniture can stay. All appliances stay. Don’t miss this rare opportunity. Schedule your showing today!
