About this home
Discover one of the most distinctive luxury homes for sale in Big Canoe, Georgia. Privately situated on 4.08 wooded acres, this approximately 7,100-square-foot North Georgia mountain estate is the first Bob Timberlake log home built in Georgia—a residence of architectural significance, remarkable provenance and timeless craftsmanship.
Constructed in 1996 using massive Eastern white pine logs individually notched and hand-hewn by Hearthstone, the home was personally approved by Bob Timberlake. Its design proved so exceptional that Timberlake later selected the residence as the setting for photographing his 2001 Lodge Collection for Lexington Furniture.
A circular drive winds through the trees to a home that feels both grand and welcoming. Inside, soaring open beams, heart-of-pine floors, rich wood walls and impressive stone fireplaces create an atmosphere of authentic mountain luxury. The dramatic great room offers exceptional scale for entertaining, while the open kitchen and keeping room form a warm and inviting heart of the home. A butler’s pantry, dedicated china room and abundant storage make hosting gatherings both elegant and effortless.
The main-level primary suite is a private retreat with a vaulted wood ceiling and separate “his and her” baths. Five additional en-suite bedrooms provide family and guests with an extraordinary level of comfort and privacy. A loft, office, terrace-level family room and multiple flexible living spaces offer abundant room for working from home, recreation, hobbies or quiet relaxation.
Designed for year-round indoor-outdoor living, the home features a heated and cooled EZ-Breeze porch with a fireplace, an expansive wraparound porch and multiple decks overlooking the peaceful wooded setting. Stone pathways descend through landscaped grounds to an impressive outdoor entertaining terrace with a massive stone fireplace, built-in grill and lighted regulation-size horseshoe pit. Whether hosting an intimate dinner or a large gathering, the setting is unforgettable.
A four-car tandem garage provides outstanding vehicle and storage capacity, while the large conditioned room beneath the garage offers exceptional possibilities for a workshop, studio, wine collection or secure storage. Recently completed improvements include a new cedar shake roof, new lightning protection system, freshly sealed circular driveway and newly stained decks.
Offering six en-suite bedrooms (three on the main level), more than four acres and four fireplaces located in the great room, keeping room, terrace-level family room and EZ-Breeze porch, this landmark Bob Timberlake home is more than a residence—it is an irreplaceable North Georgia mountain estate with a story all its own.
