1414 Mcelroy Mountain Drive, Big Canoe, GA 30143

Property Description

Discover one of Big Canoe's most distinctive luxury homes, privately situated on 4.08 wooded acres. This approximately 7,100-square-foot estate is the first Bob Timberlake log home built in Georgia—a residence of remarkable provenance and timeless craftsmanship. Built in 1996 from massive Eastern white pine logs hand-hewn by Hearthstone, it was personally approved by Timberlake and later chosen to showcase his 2001 Lodge Collection for Lexington Furniture. A circular drive leads to a home both grand and welcoming, with soaring open beams, heart-of-pine floors, rich wood walls and impressive stone fireplaces. The dramatic great room is designed for entertaining, while the open kitchen and keeping room create an inviting gathering place. A butler's pantry and china room make hosting effortless. The main-level primary suite features a vaulted wood ceiling and separate his-and-her baths. Five additional en-suite bedrooms—two also on the main level—offer exceptional comfort and privacy. A loft, office, terrace-level family room and flexible spaces accommodate work, recreation and guests. Outdoor living includes a heated and cooled EZ-Breeze porch with fireplace, wraparound porch, multiple decks and an entertaining terrace with a massive stone fireplace, built-in grill and lighted regulation-size horseshoe pit. A four-car tandem garage and conditioned room beneath it offer exceptional storage or space for a workshop, studio or wine collection. Recent improvements include a new cedar shake roof, lightning protection system, freshly sealed circular driveway and newly stained decks. With six en-suite bedrooms, four fireplaces and more than four acres, this landmark home is an irreplaceable North Georgia mountain estate.
