Sweeping long-range mountain views and breathtaking natural light greet you the moment you arrive at this 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath retreat, nestled on five private acres bordering the U.S. National Forest in Hickory Nut Mountain Estates - with no homeowners association. Inside, soaring 23-foot beams crafted from 100-year-old Georgia heart pine set the tone, while locally milled hardwood floors ground each room in warmth and authenticity. A grand stone fireplace and an impressive wall of windows frame those stunning views. The open-concept kitchen offers plenty of room for entertaining, with generous seating and storage throughout. The main level features the primary suite with beamed ceilings and a private sitting room, plus a second bedroom for added flexibility. Upstairs, two spacious suites boast large bathrooms and ample storage. A cozy upper-level living room with charming nooks rounds out the space. The lower level includes a two-car garage, and an elevator provides effortless access to all three levels. The outdoor living spaces are truly exceptional. Multiple expansive decks span all three levels, each offering its own perspective on the stunning panoramic views. The main-level deck off the primary suite is perfect for morning coffee or watching distant fireworks paint the sky over the mountains. A third-level tiled deck showcases the most spectacular vistas, while the lower-level full-length tiled deck creates an elegant outdoor retreat. Perched at 2,200 feet, the entire drive up is on a smooth, paved road - no white-knuckle switchbacks, no steep gravel climbs. Unlike most homes offering views like these, getting here is completely accessible. Minutes from Tallulah Falls Lake, Tallulah Gorge, Lake Rabun, and Lake Burton, with Downtown Clayton and Clarkesville just 20 minutes away - schedule your showing today.
