686 Chattahoochee Acres Drive

GENTLE WITH A VIEW LIKE NONE OTHER! Sitting outside of the floodplain* on a gentle lot, this river home has a view and rushing river sound like none other with an additional 1.3 acre riverside lot. Undeniably the best of the upper Chattahoochee with an exceptional island bend view and rushing shoal sounds over boulders, rocks, and pebbles. The terrain and river access are gentle, the water is wadeable with cool pools favorable for trout, and ownership extends to the island. The additional adjoining lot, which is included, is currently enjoyed for privacy while providing its future owner the capability to expand the home or build a guest house. Never before on the market, this home was purposefully designed and constructed by its only owner to invite the outdoors into each room with exceptional river views from nearly all rooms, allowing one to fall asleep to the sounds of the river. With the primary suite, kitchen, and laundry on the main level, this home features 2 beds, 2 baths, sunroom, office, walk in pantry, partially unfinished basement with workshop, shop sink, and additional storage. For those hoping to work from home, HEMC Trailwave high speed fiber optic internet is available in the neighborhood. The sights and sounds found only here are captivating, and upon arrival, there is an instant pause to the busyness of life, inviting adventure in the river and unwinding on the gentle banks. The setting is rural, centrally located to Cleveland, Clarkesville, and Helen, all known for their charming small towns, outdoor recreation, wineries, dining, and shopping. For outdoor enthusiasts looking to get out, the surrounding state parks & national forests are excellent opportunities for hunting, hiking, biking, camping, & fishing. From Mt Yonah to Unicoi and Yonah Preserve to Hardman Farm, there's an outdoor adventure for all. The home is occupied and shown by appointment only.
