If you’re looking for the view to end all views, this is it.
This is The View.
Located just five miles from Highlands, on the Atlanta side, the back deck of this two-story home looks out over Blue Valley. At 4,200 feet, the lights of Seneca and Clemson, South Carolina flicker on the distant horizon. The protected view can even be opened up a little more with just a little tree trimming, taking in Rabun Bald, one of Georgia’s tallest peaks.
The elevation also means the temperature can be up to 15 degrees cooler than Atlanta or even the nearby North Georgia lake communities. Spend the cool summer evenings, wine glass in hand, watching the thunderstorms roll across the landscape.
This large-living three-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath home is situated on more than 10 acres of private mountain estate. Additional acreage is separately available with two adjacent parcels, to create an estate of nearly 60 acres. This property can be perfect for the weekend equestrian, featuring an old horse stable ready to be fixed up for new inhabitants. Ride for miles through scenic mountain trails and gravel roads without ever
touching pavement.
The main living area is an open floor plan with a Chef’s Kitchen, Dining and Living Room. The Master Bedroom, Powder Room and Laundry Room are also on the main floor. Downstairs you’ll find another Bedroom and a Family Living Area, which could easily be converted into a larger Bedroom. The home also features a spacious separate Guest Suite with a
private entry.
Owned for more than 25 years by the current owners, the home was recently remodeled, including wood ceilings and a new master bath with heated floors and towel racks as well as unseen infrastructure improvements. The back deck is an excellent outdoor living space, featuring a hot tub that opens to the Laundry Room that leads easily into the Master Bedroom. There is also a two-car Garage with plenty of storage. And if anyone ever desires, an elevator could easily be installed for
more accessibility.
