Life in Big Canoe, Real Estate in the Mountains

View from every room!

Today I dusted off my heart because I fell madly in love with a listing! Introducing 8046 Ridveview Drive in Big Canoe, Georgia where passion is the fashion and romance rules every room! Some time last summer I went to a listing meeting at this home and the moment I walked in the door, I wanted to stay and felt right at home. Every room in the home offered something delightfully unique with one very important universal tie; breathtaking views and private balconies. I felt like I was perched on the Central California coast exchanging blue distant mountains for the ocean. This home is why people move to Big Canoe.

Crows Nest

Built in 1988 by a well known couple that lived in several Big Canoe homes, 8046 Ridgeview is perched on a big view lot and still has a fairly level driveway. The current owners have recently added a striking carport which could double for an outdoor events facility. The elegant entry hall leads to the great room with soaring wood ceilings and old world style architecture throughout.  The new kitchen has double ovens, granite counter tops, plenty of cabinet and counter space and a large laundry/pantry with exterior entry androom for a second refrigerator. The entrancing views will becon you to the screened porch for a morning cup of coffee, a good book, or just a place to sit an catch up with friends. All guests will like the main level bedroom and full bath. There are 2 additional bedrooms and 1 full bath on the terrace level. There is also fun family room with a fireplace and  screened porch on the lower level. Going up to the second level you will discover that the whole floor is devoted to the master suite with dressing room. Bright sun in the daytime and twinkling city lights at night keep this level lively andthe perfect retreat for all occasions. If dreaming is what you desire bring only your imagination, then travel one more flight up to the Crows Nest where you will find yourself on top of the world. Experience the two observation decks and screen sliding doors for a heavenly cross breeze.

Good Morning, Good Night!

My words were written from the heart but the pictures are worth more than anything I can say. Even better than the pictures is to experience this home for yourself. My advice is to plan to spend some time here because there really are a lot of “Wow’s” to experience. 

Behold the Great Room

Please note that an exterior shot of this house is tricky to take due to the positioning of the home on the lot. Please see this link  for a picture of the back of the home throught the trees. Enjoy!
