$370,000 below appraisal!! Just reduced, sellers relocating. The mountains have a way of slowing life down. Morning coffee becomes a ritual. Dinner somehow lasts a little longer. Evenings naturally end around the outdoor fireplace with a glass of wine, great conversation, and sunsets that never seem to get old. Before long, you realize your favorite room in the house isn't inside at all. If you've been searching for a mountain home, you've probably discovered that not every "long-range mountain view" lives up to the description. Truly unobstructed, year-round panoramic views are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Here, the photographs tell the story, but standing on the deck is something entirely different. Hidden behind the gates of prestigious Raccoon Ridge, this custom mountain retreat was designed around the one thing you can never change or replace...the view. Expansive covered decks, walls of glass, and outdoor living spaces were created to bring the mountains into everyday life. Three private bedroom suites, each on its own level, give family and guests the privacy everyone appreciates, while the open gathering spaces and four natural stacked-stone fireplaces bring everyone together again. Just minutes from downtown Blue Ridge, Lake Blue Ridge, and the Toccoa River, your days can be spent boating, fly fishing, hiking, shopping, or simply doing nothing more than enjoying one of the most spectacular mountain settings in North Georgia. Over time, something unexpected happens. This house quietly becomes the place everyone wants to come back to. Thanksgiving is always here. The grandchildren ask when they're coming back. Friends linger around the outdoor fireplace long after dinner because no one wants the evening to end. The holidays become traditions. The weekends become memories. Years from now, your family won't remember the square footage or the number of fireplaces. They'll remember mornings on the deck...the smell of the mountain air...the laughter around the fire...and the feeling of never wanting to leave. Some homes are beautiful. Some become part of your family's story. This is one of those rare places.
