The well-appointed kitchen features solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and modern finishes from a complete remodel completed in 2025 (along with all bathrooms). A convenient half bath and a private primary suite complete this level. Step outside to the expansive wraparound porch that encircles the home, providing sweeping vistas and an ideal spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation while taking in the scenery. Upstairs, the upper level includes two generously sized bedrooms sharing a full bath, plus a versatile loft area-perfect for reading, quiet retreats, or additional flexible living space. The lower level expands your living options with a secondary family room or recreation area, two additional guest bedrooms, and a shared full bath. This level opens directly to a covered porch featuring a relaxing hot tub, where you can unwind while enjoying those signature long-range mountain panoramas. Outside, the home's exceptional setting shines: the lot is gently sloping and walkable-a true rarity for properties at this elevation, making it easy to navigate and enjoy without the steep challenges common in the mountains. Abundant privacy is ensured as the rear property line directly abuts the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest (spanning nearly 867,000 acres), effectively giving you a private backyard of wilderness trails, streams, and untouched nature. This offering includes the lot across the street, safeguarding your sightlines for years to come. From the main wraparound porch and other vantage points, savor breathtaking perspectives: panoramic views encompassing a majority of the Sky Valley Country Club course and valley below, plus the ability to spot the condos above Highlands Country Club in the distance-a reminder of the home's prime positioning near the Georgia-North Carolina border. Additional highlights include a detached two-car garage with ample storage space above, a charming stone patio and fire ring (perfect for evening fires under the stars), and a whole-house generator for peace of mind during any weather. Conveniently located just 20 minutes from Highlands, NC (with its upscale dining, shopping, and amenities) and 25 minutes from downtown Clayton, GA, this thoughtfully updated mountain retreat combines rustic log charm, modern comforts, and extraordinary natural surroundings-ideal for year-round enjoyment, whether as a primary residence, second home, or vacation escape.
