Big Canoe Homes with Exterior Entry Basement Type

9 Beds ⋅ 8 Baths ⋅ 10821991 MLS

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.

Meet the cabin that's equal parts cozy, practical, and just a little bit of an overachiever. It starts with a wraparound porch and deck - because one great place to relax simply wasn't enough. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings and a crackling wood-burning fireplace create the kind of living room that practically begs for fuzzy socks, hot cocoa, and "just one more chapter." The updated kitchen is ready for everything from pancake breakfasts to holiday feasts, complete with a step-in pantry that's large enough to hide your snack stash from the rest of the household. The open dining and living areas flow effortlessly onto a cheerful screened porch where coffee tastes better and mosquitoes are forced to admire you from a distance. The main level also features a comfortable guest suite, while upstairs the spacious primary suite offers a generous walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath with a soaking tub that's perfect for pretending emails don't exist. Need flexibility? The lower-level third bedroom - with its own exterior entrance, full bath, and entry hall is currently pulling double duty as a home gym. It could just as easily become a private guest suite, home office, hobby room, or creative studio. Outside, the fenced backyard is ready for pups, playtime, or your future gardening ambitions. The level driveway means easy parking (no mountain driving gymnastics required), and the BONUS is a brand - new roof - because the best home improvements are the ones you don't have to think about. Nestled in Big Canoe's sought-after Equestrian neighborhood, you're just down the road from the trailhead for two nature trails, making spontaneous hikes almost as easy as relaxing on the porch. Only 3 minutes to the gate, 10 minutes to shopping and everything you need, yet feels worlds away from everything! This cabin checks all the boxes: charm, character, comfort... and yes, even a new roof. Overachiever, indeed.
