A rare opportunity to own a true legacy property in the gated mountain community of Big Canoe. Perched at approximately 2,800 feet in elevation amid the natural beauty of North Georgia, this remarkable one-owner residence was thoughtfully designed for gathering generations of family and friends under one roof. With just under 10,000 square feet between the main residence and attached guest house, the property offers an extraordinary combination of space, privacy, architectural character, and mountain living. Designed by architect Bob Ahlstrand and built by Gary Harbin in 1987, the home was further enhanced in 1995 with kitchen and owners' bath renovations and a thoughtfully integrated addition. Altogether, the main residence and guest house offer nine bedrooms, eight baths, four living and family rooms, and two kitchens-providing exceptional flexibility for extended family, guests, and entertaining. Warm woods, natural stone, expansive windows, and dramatic architectural details give the home a character all its own. The addition features beautiful green slate flooring that flows seamlessly outdoors into a private courtyard-one of the property's most memorable spaces. Here, a massive stone fireplace creates a dramatic gathering place alongside a peaceful reflecting pool featuring a commissioned bronze sculpture of geese, cattails, and lily pads. Throughout the home, unexpected spaces add to its sense of discovery. A hot tub enjoys its own dedicated screened porch, while a hidden wine room tucked away on the terrace level is waiting to be found. Accessible from the main residence by a breezeway, the self-sufficient two-bedroom, two-bath guest house provides wonderful privacy while keeping guests close. Its main level features a den with fireplace, full kitchen, bedroom with en suite bath, and a deck overlooking the mountain views. The terrace level offers a second bedroom and bath, another den, laundry, and generous storage. Owned and cherished by the same family since it was built, this exceptional Big Canoe residence is much more than a mountain home. It is a property created for generations-where holidays are celebrated, friends gather around the fire, guests have room to linger, and family traditions can continue for years to come. A distinctive mountain retreat with nearly 10,000 square feet of living space, remarkable architectural character, extensive guest accommodations, intimate outdoor spaces, and a history that makes it truly one of a kind.

There are homes that impress you, and others that simply feel right from the moment you arrive. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac near the North Gate of Big Canoe, this exceptional custom ranch offers a rare combination of refined design, peaceful mountain living and the ease of having everything on one level. Built in 2020 with zero-entry access, an easy driveway and beautifully established landscaping, the home feels private and serene, with the potential to open a mountain view through approved vista pruning. Step inside and the quality is immediately apparent, yet the feeling is warm and welcoming. Ten-foot ceilings, soaring vaulted spaces, eight-foot wood doors, rich hardwood floors, substantial moldings, designer lighting and Pella windows and exterior doors give the home an understated elegance. The graceful floor plan creates inviting places to gather, unwind or simply enjoy the quiet. One of the home's most memorable spaces is the vaulted living room, where an extraordinary arrangement of windows fills the room with natural light. A sleek linear gas fireplace set into a dramatic floor-to-ceiling slab surround creates a striking focal point, while shiplap walls and ceiling add texture and architectural interest. Tucked just off the living room is a delightful library or study nook with built-in bookcases, cabinetry and abundant natural light-a quiet, intimate space for reading, working or enjoying a favorite film. Multiple doors open to a private deck sheltered patio, welcoming places for morning coffee, evening conversation or dining outdoors. The kitchen makes a sophisticated statement with dramatic ceiling-height cabinetry, a generous island, a six-burner Bertazzoni range with griddle and a Kohler Prolific workstation sink. Equally impressive is the expansive scullery, a beautifully finished extension of the kitchen with walls of cabinetry, extensive countertops and room for appliances, serving pieces and entertaining essentials. It provides a dedicated space for preparation and cleanup while allowing the main kitchen to remain polished and ready for guests. A separate serving area adds even more storage and convenience, making this an exceptional home for anyone who loves to cook or entertain. All four bedrooms include private ensuite baths, giving family and guests a sense of comfort and privacy. Two primary suite offer a particularly special degree of flexibility. The larger suite opens to an elegant bath and expansive dressing-room closet. The second room on that side of the house can be used as an office and a second bathroom for the Primary or a secondary bedroom and bath. It includes its own closet and a striking ensuite bath with a zero-entry shower, dramatic large-format tile and a towel warmer. Because the two closets share a wall, they could be connected to create one extraordinary primary retreat with dual baths and dressing areas. Each of the additional baths carries the home's elevated design, with Kohler fixtures, beautiful tilework and quartzite in one guest bath. Behind the beauty are features that make daily life easier, including spray-foam attic insulation, a tankless water heater, two HVAC systems with remote thermostat access and an abundance of storage. The oversized garage includes a utility sink and an additional area preframed to accommodate another garage door if desired. A large storage closet or flex area provides even more room to adapt the home to the way you live. Polished but never formal, spacious but still intimate, this is a home created for living well. It offers the comfort of newer custom construction, the simplicity of true one-level living and the quiet pleasure of coming home to Big Canoe.
