Mountain getaway with good sized pond on a sprawling sanctuary with all of the comforts packed into a more compact design? Recently renovated log home sits atop a wooded knoll with mountain views on 10+ picturesque acres of green pasture, woods, a stocked pond fed by a year 'round creeks and borders national forest; this one has it all. Current owner has performed a full scale renovation and expansion with all new cladding, new HVAC, new roof, new over-sized decks and porches, all new flooring and shiplap on the main and basement, a completely re-done and expanded kitchen replete with new cabinetry, quartz counter tops and appliances. Additions to the main floor include a new oversized bedroom, a luxurious bath with a large soaking tub and beautifully tiled shower and a spacious dressing/laundry room. The basement presents further additions with an equally large bedroom and full bath just off of a comfortable sitting area or fourth sleeping quarters if needed. The top floor finds the only untouched portion of the home as it was beautiful just as it was: a sun filled log loft with a surprise all surrounded by windows offering a commanding view of the land and surrounding mountains. Long private driveway was asphalted last year and home is shielded from the view of passersby. This versatile property would make a wonderful farm, inviting vacation home, idyllic primary residence or could be the best STR in the county. All of this is just steps away from seemingly endless National Forest, minutes from the storied Appalachian Trail and only two turns (and a lot of curves) in 11 miles will take you to vibrant downtown Dahlonega.
