This Mountain

Home Should Be High on Your List

By John Shivers

The four-season view from the porches of the home at 2209 Bald Mountain Road, looking down on Sky Valley / Dillard, Georgia, are picture postcard perfection. The sleeping capacity of this tri-level lodge makes this the logical destination for your large, far-flung family with room for kids and grandkids alike. It also makes an ideal rental option for large groups, and already has a great vacation rental track record with five star reviews.

However you choose to use it is up to you. Just don’t miss the many possibilities this custom home offers. Never has there ever been so much for so many, making it a win-win for all. Perched high on a hillside overlooking Sky Valley, at an elevation of more than 3,500 feet, with seven oversize bedrooms and six bathrooms, this home is anchored among the trees, with sweeping views of the western sky. The valley view overlooks the Sky Valley Golf Course. Three of the bedrooms hold king size beds and offer en suite baths. The remaining four bedrooms are large enough to hold more than one bed, and really increase the sleeping potential. A fully self-contained apartment on the lower level makes this home, built in 2004, ideal for multi-generational living, or for a caretaker to have his or her exclusive quarters.

With more than 5,900 square feet of heated living space, this home is primarily open concept on the main level, with fourteen foot ceilings in some areas. Two oversize living areas and two dining rooms make it easy-peasy to feed the masses. As an added plus, the size of these areas makes social distancing easily feasible. Stone fireplaces on two levels and a wood stove on the lower level add both to the eye appeal, as well as the comfort level on snowy winter evenings, when everyone wants to stick close to home. The home’s kitchen features solid lacquered wood cabinets and granite counters, and gives the resident chef all the space and equipment needed to prepare quality meals in quantity portions. With the Kitchen-aid® gas cooktop, a Jenn-Air® double oven, island with a prep-sink, dishwasher, built-in microwave, side-by-side refrigerator and a breakfast bar, both cook and helpers will find plenty of elbow room and the means to prepare three squares a day. Floors throughout the main level are natural finished red oak hardwood, with carpet in the bedrooms. Baths have tile floors. An elevator connects the three floors, and a generous size staircase makes for easy movement throughout. An oversize laundry with oversize equipment, sink, many cabinets and direct access to the outside spells convenience whether you’re living here full-time or sharing the home with vacationers. And if you choose to place this home on the rental market, experienced management and cleaning teams are already in place to work for you. Located in a private gated community with paved road access and ample paved parking for multiple vehicles, this home features both open decks and screened areas on all three levels. With three acres±, you’re assured high degrees of privacy, yet you’re within easy driving distance of Dillard, at the bottom of the mountain, and Clayton, only a few miles down Highway 441. There’s a drive-under basement, and a covered carport adjacent to the laundry room and kitchen. Picture it: the perfect multi-purpose home, MLS #8856603.
