COUNTRY LIVING AT ITS BEST!
Home on the range
“Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam, where the deer and the antelope play…” Well, the wildlife may vary slightly, but I’m sure you get the idea.
Here’s your chance to escape the city to the crisp clean air, grassy knolls, star-filled skies and the seductive silence of the country; a silence punctuated only by nature’s symphony. On offer is a rustic rural retreat on 1-acre that feels a million miles away from civilization, but in fact it is only a 60-minute drive south to Atlanta and Marietta. Live your best life here in a peaceful, picturesque setting at the gateway to the mountains, and be part of the close-knit community of Dahlonega whose history is as rich as its fertile countryside, now home to respected wineries. The property on offer is a comfortable ranch-style homestead showcasing the warmth of timber and its alluring aroma both inside and out. The open concept living area is deceptively spacious, yet the brick fireplace provides a cozy ambience and is complemented by a charming pot-belly stove that is a focal point of the connected country-style kitchen with island bench. The bedrooms are generously sized; the main featuring large windows at the foot of the bed that makes waking up an absolute pleasure as you’re greeted at daybreak by the comforting green vista of nature. Upstairs with its quaint dormer windows there is ample scope for further renovation. It is an area that can be adapted for virtually any use - office, studio, teenage retreat..
Flowing from alongside the kitchen via elegant French doors is a timber deck for enjoying your morning coffee or for watching the kids and pets at play in the large fenced yard fringed by mature trees. At the front of the home is a traditional porch to while away the time with a good book and your favorite beverage. At nighttime, kick back with a guitar in front of an open fireplace or toast marshmallows with the kids while contemplating the galaxy’s awesome display overhead.
