First time to market, this Lookout Highlands brow home is perfect in so many ways. You’ll immediately see the attention to detail in this log home with not only a rustic feel, but also a country farmhouse theme, all combined perfectly for a rich living experience. Perched at the edge of Lookout Mountain on a nearly 3 acre wooded lot in the gated community of Lookout Highlands there’s so much to love about this home. This real log home was built with the greatest of care by experienced craftsmen, and it shows throughout. Enter the spacious living area and you are greeted by vaulted two-story ceilings with exposed beams, a beautifully hand-built stone fireplace, and a floor plan that is open to the kitchen. The open living area lends itself to a perfect entertaining experience. The fireplace, double doors leading to the back deck, and big space leave plenty of room for family and guests. You'll also find a half-bath for guests on the main level. Just off the living area you'll discover one of two screened porches, this one well-suited to outdoor dining or just enjoying that sunset with a glass of wine in the evenings. Enjoy your fireplace on those cold winter days, yet watch the snow fall from the comfort of your home. The kitchen has plenty of counter space and cabinetry. You'll love the large farm sink and solid surface countertops. You'll find three distinct outdoor living areas. The large covered deck just off of the back of the home's main living area is the first, accessible via two double-doors on either side of the indoor fireplace. There's also a stone fireplace on the outside deck; great for fall evenings when you need just a hint of warmth to stay comfortable. Off of the kitchen you'll also find a screened porch for outdoor dining and just off the master you'll find a second screened porch perfect for that morning coffee, or could also be used as a sleeping porch. The master bedroom is located on the main level and overlooks the valley from the brow, giving you those big views anytime you want. As mentioned above, you can access a private screened porch via double doors. If you've ever thought about sleeping outside, but want to skip the insects, this could be a great option! You'll love the rough-hewn ceiling beams and wood siding walls. The master bath features a separate shower and large tub along with a double vanity with wood countertop. Between the bedroom and master bath there's a big walk-in closet and laundry hookup. Upstairs you'll find two more bedrooms and a large full bath. All three rooms feature high ceilings with exposed beams, wood siding walls, the beautiful wood floors. Your guests will love you! One of the best reasons to love this property is the community. Lookout Highlands is a 1,500 acre gated community on Lookout Mountain. The largest of its kind in the area, Lookout Highlands is a destination community for second home owners, retirees, and those who love what Chattanooga has to offer but want the serenity of mountain living. Anyone that enjoys communing with nature will love Lookout Highlands. Residents have access to four stocked fishing lakes that are professionally managed. Lot owners and homeowners also have the use of miles of hiking trails, some leading to spectacular waterfalls and rock outcroppings. These trails rival what you'd have to drive to the Great Smoky Mountains to see, yet only within a short drive from Chattanooga. There are both beginner and more advanced trails that wind along the brow of the mountain, crossing several streams and even some old moonshine stills. You can get to Atlanta, Birmingham, and Nashville all within 2 hours. Chattanooga is roughly 35 minutes away. Contact your agent to arrange a private tour now.
