Why wait years to build a custom home when an almost complete masterpiece awaits your final touch? This unique custom-built property, 90% finished, offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Nestled on over an acre of land, it boasts a commanding view of Lake Burton, with a 240-degree panoramic vista, and is adjacent to protected Georgia Power land, ensuring unspoiled natural beauty.
Inspired by travels across the western United States, this home exemplifies top-tier craftsmanship and materials. Western Red Cedar and Douglas Fir logs, sourced from Montana, form its core. A Vermont slate roof, backed by a century-long warranty, crowns the structure, accompanied by 16 oz copper flashing and roof panels. Tennessee-sourced stone and Weather Shield aluminum-clad windows and doors add to its grandeur, along with unique rounded corners throughout the architecture.
Step inside to find soaring ceilings in a grand living area, bathed in natural light. The home features three bedrooms, four and a half baths (two ready for steam showers), and five stacked stone fireplaces. An open floor plan terrace level, with 10 to 12-foot-high ceilings, is perfect for entertaining, complete with a bar setup. It includes an extra bedroom and a finished kitchenette, ideal for guests. Built on a robust 12” concrete foundation with 5000 PSI, the house promises enduring stability.
Enjoy modern conveniences like an LP tankless water heater and a comprehensive water filtration system. The house’s unique design includes copper gutters extending four feet from the rear elevation, creating a serene sound of cascading water during rains. For connectivity, the entire home is wired with Cat6 ethernet cables, ensuring you’re always in touch with the world.
The property is a sanctuary for wildlife, hosting deer, eagles, armadillos, bears, and more. It provides access to Lake Burton through community docks or local boat storage. Nearby are the Hemlock Falls Trail, Appalachian Trail, and opportunities for fly fishing, snow skiing, horseback riding, and hunting. Plus, it’s just four miles from the renowned Waterfall Country Club. As a bonus, the property includes a charming treehouse with seven windows, French doors, a sleeping loft, perfect for a variety of leisure activities.
Building a similar home today would cost upwards of $2,225,200, not including the lot and septic system. Only requiring your client’s personal touch to complete, this exquisite home is a personal retreat that combines luxury, nature, and the highest standards of living. Don’t miss the chance to own this remarkable piece of real estate, where every day feels like a getaway.
