AUTHENTIC LOG HOME ON THE NATIONAL FOREST - On 5.00 acres and a world away in northern Dawson County. 

 

Sometimes the simplest materials - stone and wood - create the most appealing combination. The home is two levels plus a daylight terrace-level basement and is constructed of rounded-log, double tongue and groove construction with stone columns and a stone facade daylight terrace level. 

 

Entering across the covered front porch into the main level you are welcomed into the living area with oak flooring and a stone fireplace. Off to the right the kitchen boasts hickory cabinetry and stainless appliances; a pantry and laundry area are at hands beckon. One bedroom and bath are around the corner, walking outside on the covered front deck you look out over the lawn and cove area.

 

Upstairs are two bedrooms, one with fireplace, and a bath. On the daylight terrace level are a bedroom and bath, an equipment/storage room, partially finished den area, and partially finished open area plumbed for a second kitchen; the entire terrace level is heated and cooled. Dual covered canopies provide a patio area and entrance into the terrace level and a place to grill out in the dry. Throughout the home is plenty of closet and storage space, care and pride of ownership show throughout. Underground utilities, a parking shed, and 1000 gallon underground LP tank are part of the exterior amenities.

 

The shop building is of rustic rough sawn lumber with hand-hewn doors and features. Outside are dual covered overhangs, one with a concrete patio, entrance is via both an overhead garage door and regular doorway. Inside the shop has electricity, wood heat, and a concrete floor. A large storage area upstairs is accessed via a permanent stairway.

 

The setting on the 5.00 acres is one of the most unusual and desirable in the North Georgia Mountains - in a private and gentle terrain mountain cove at the base of Amicalola Mountain and backed up against the National Forest. Two flowing streams of the finest purity from the mountains out of the National Forest tumble through this property and form the headwaters of Little Amicalola Creek. The property bristles with fine timber and scenic understory and there's an open area flooded with sunshine. The property is accessed via a long, excellent-condition gravel roadway; the area is beautiful and sparsely inhabited with nary an unsightly or undesirable activity anywhere near. 

 

Choice as either a private personal residence or a family mountain retreat, this property offers space and serenity in a beautiful setting in the North Georgia mountains. $339,000.
