About this home
Tucked into the desirable Clarkesville/Batesville community and just minutes to the charming Alpine community of Helen, this spacious rural bungalow is a truly one-of-a-kind North Georgia charmer, surrounded by pastoral scenery, mature hardwoods, and the creative spirit of an area long loved by artists and artisans. Located just one mile from the iconic Batesville General Store, the home is unique, quirky, warm, and full of character, a refreshing departure from the ordinary. Inside, expansive rooms and an open, easygoing floor plan create a relaxed atmosphere. Beautiful original hardwood floors have been restored with a rustic finish that complements the home's personality. The large great room features a dramatic vaulted, beamed ceiling and connects naturally to the dining area and kitchen. The kitchen offers white cabinetry, stone countertops, a nearly new suite of appliances, and a large adjoining pantry. The huge open-concept primary suite is a standout, featuring a large stone fireplace and a spacious open wardrobe and dressing area with generous hanging and clothing storage. The adjoining primary bath offers double vanities, a tub/shower combination, and a private sauna. One of the home's most special spaces is the light-filled artist retreat/sunroom, the perfect place to paint, create, read, or simply relax while enjoying the peaceful surroundings. And don't miss the home's quirky hidden half bath, an unexpected conversation piece that guests are sure to remember. A covered front porch stretches across the entire front of the home and includes ramp access, with direct access from the primary suite. It is an inviting place to enjoy morning coffee, wildlife, and the slower pace of country living. Outside, the beautiful 3.5-acre property offers a wonderful combination of open pasture and towering hardwoods with abundant wildlife. Additional improvements include a large 10x30 storage building, a turnout horse stall in the lower pasture, and a separate utility/firewood shed. Recent improvements include fresh exterior paint and stain, along with complete crawl-space encapsulation completed during the home's recent renovation. Just over one mile to Mark of the Potter and 6 miles from Lake Burton and surrounded by artisans, outdoor recreation, mountain scenery, and the charm of days gone by, this special property offers a lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find. If you're looking for something cookie-cutter, this probably isn't it, but if you're looking for a rural retreat with space, personality, creativity, and unmistakable North Georgia character, you've found something special....
