Property Description
Are you searching for a majestic mountain chalet as a full-time residence or vacation home with breathtaking, year-round panoramic views? Your dream property awaits! Step through custom-crafted screen doors into an expansive Great Room, where a dramatic wall of windows perfectly frames the layered beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Front and center in this stunning backdrop is Brasstown Bald, Georgia's highest peak, creating a truly unforgettable view. Located in a community with paved roads, this property also offers plenty of paved parking. The home features durable Hardy Board siding, offering low-maintenance beauty and long-lasting protection against the elements. The spacious Owner's Suite offers room for a serene sitting area-perfect for reading, relaxing, and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. A fully finished basement provides exceptional flexibility with a bonus room, generous open living space, large counter area, refrigerator, microwave, and entertainment-ready amenities-perfect for guests or extended stays.

Outdoor living shines here. The main-level deck has been upgraded with an extended roof, allowing you to enjoy unobstructed mountain views rain or shine, all year long. Whether sipping your morning coffee at sunrise, grilling with the convenience of a dedicated gas line just outside the kitchen, or relaxing in the lower-level hot tub as the sun sets behind the peaks-every moment feels extraordinary. The kitchen boasts thoughtful upgrades, including a pot filler above the stove-no more carrying heavy pots from the sink. With the option to purchase an additional 1.26-acre lot adjacent to the home, this property offers space, luxury, and flexibility. Partially furnished and short-term rental eligible, this chalet presents an excellent investment opportunity. Luxury, views, paved access, durable construction, and mountain serenity-all in one remarkable property. Contact a realtor for a list of all upgrades.
