Tate City Property Offers So Many Options
T
by John Shivers here aren’t many real estate property listings that offer buyers a chance to catch native North Georgia trout from the privacy and comfort of their own front yard. But if hooking the big ones is your kettle of fish, you’ll definitely want to check out the more than seven acre country mountain estate at 2080 Tate City Road. And if the fishing possibilities on some 700 feet of the Tallulah River don’t excite you, perhaps the accommodations for your horses might be more to your liking? The positive attributes of this property that actually lies just inside Towns County are many, in addition to the fishing and the equestrian aspects. For one thing, the tract has an amazing amount of flat, usable land nestled among the mountains that surround it. In addition to the river, a burbling creek meanders through the back yard. Sit on your covered back porch with the laurel wood railings, within sight and earshot of the creek, and survey your definitely one-of-a-kind compound. There are flowers and vegetables both in season, and the natural beauty of the north Georgia mountains is there year-round, as Mother Nature goes about her business. This property offers the owner just as much to do or just as little to do as you wish. Work or play, this remote sanctuary gives you the freedom to chart your own agenda and live life the way that best fits you. Nestled beneath the mature trees that set this property apart, you’ll find the main house. Outside its rustic board and batten exterior is crowned by a long-life metal roof. The laurel wood railings only add to the charm, and front and back covered porches hint to the laidback lifestyle that awaits. A detached, oversize two-car garage is reached by a covered walkway. And there’s even a covered shelter for your fifth-wheel, boat or RV. The expansive horse barn offers the chance for a business operation. But you’ll want a place to lay your head at night, so you can recharge your batteries for another great day in paradise. Inside this well-maintained home that was built in 1999, you’ll find two large bedrooms and three baths. One bedroom is upstairs, overlooking the great room below, and is flooded with light. Downstairs, another spacious, light-filled bedroom and bath give you the option of sleeping up or down. Much of the interior is clad in tongue and groove wood and provides a warm and welcoming setting for you and your guests. A mountain winter evening will always be comfortable and sheltering, thanks to the huge mountain stone fireplace with an insert. A second spacious sitting area with a wood stove adds to the home’s hospitality.
