523 Chalet Drive
Sautee Nacoochee, GA 30571

True one of a kind custom build in the mountains of North Georgia. This detail rich, stately mountain home was artfully designed in homage to the original owners favorite vacation home in Portugal. As soon as you arrive to the lush flora and whimsical garden setting, you know that you are somewhere special. The cheerful palate and detailed architecture of the two story foyer will welcome your guests and make them want to see more of this unique mountain treasure. Take in the soaring 25 foot cathedral ceilings of the great room while warming in front of the ornate wood burning fire place, enjoying the full service wet bar with undercounter fridge and icemaker, or delight in the commanding view from the spacious loft above; the best option for a closer look at the old-world tongue and groove ceiling framed by substantial wood beams. The stately dining room provides an inviting space, equally suited for quiet dining with a few or a formal affair for many. One of two staircases lead you to the oversized master suite featuring a newly reconfigured bath with new vanities, shower, flooring and paint. Off the front of the master, the private balcony provides an elevated escape and the best place to observe the mountain view as it improves with changing of the seasons. The wooded outdoor space highlights the splendors of nature featuring garden paths, stairs, and walkways among substantial natural stone work and abundant relaxing decks and porches. Other features include a full detached in-law suite/apartment, currently producing revenue for the owners as well as a second surveyed, buildable lot next door. Once here, you'll never want to leave but when you venture out, you'll find a wealth of activities including sprawling wineries, waterfalls, rivers, restaurants, shopping and all that the North Georgia mountain region has to offer. Time slows down in the mountain community of Sautee Nacoochee but you're never far from the seasonal pastimes of Helen, Cleveland, Dahlonega or the city amenities of nearby, vibrant Gainesville. Two hour notice for all showings, appointment only.
