****LISTED UNDER APPRAISED VALUE**** Welcome to a truly rare waterfront estate nestled on 2.5 private acres within the prestigious gated community of Bent Tree. Overlooking a fully private, spring-fed 1-acre lake, this exceptional 3-bedroom, 2 full bath, 1 half bath retreat blends rustic mountain-lodge character with sophisticated modern upgrades, creating a lifestyle that is both luxurious and unforgettable.
Designed to capture breathtaking lake views from nearly every room, the open-concept main level features expansive picture windows, a stunning stone fireplace, battery-operated blinds, and a beautifully appointed kitchen with granite countertops, custom wood cabinetry, gas cooktop, and wall oven. The main-level owner’s suite serves as a private sanctuary with direct lake views and a spa-inspired remodeled bath featuring heated marble floors, a towel warmer, and premium finishes throughout.
Step outside and experience resort-style living unlike anything else in North Georgia. The private, stocked lake is home to bass, brim, turtles, and native wildlife, while a sunken flagstone patio extends directly to the water’s edge. Enjoy fishing, kayaking, morning coffee at sunrise, or evening cocktails overlooking your own private waterfront oasis. Additional outdoor amenities include Trex decking, a circular driveway accommodating 10+ vehicles, a sauna, jacuzzi, and an Endless Pool therapy spa heated to 92 degrees.
The upper level offers exceptional flexibility with a spacious bonus room ideal as a media room, guest retreat, bunk room, second living area, or additional sleeping space for visitors. Oversized windows throughout the home continue to showcase the property’s spectacular waterfront setting.
Engineered for efficiency and peace of mind, the home features 27 solar panels with dual Tesla Powerwalls, geothermal HVAC utilizing a lake-loop system, a high-efficiency 34 SEER 300 foot Lake Loop Geothermal HVAC, a whole-home 20kW generator, Tesla EV charger, fire hydrant on site, and dual propane tanks. These thoughtful improvements provide substantial energy savings while enhancing long-term resilience and self-sufficiency.
Adding even greater value, the property has been professionally appraised, with supporting documentation available for review, offering buyers confidence in the home’s exceptional worth. An in-ground hot tub, 3 person Sauna, and an Endless Pool Resistance Swim Spa, which heats to 92 degrees, are all items that add value but were not included in the $745,000 appraised value.
Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Bent Tree offers an unparalleled lifestyle with a championship Joe Lee-designed golf course, 110-acre Lake Tamarack, hiking trails, swimming pools, tennis and pickleball courts, an equestrian center, and convenient access to both Metro Atlanta and North Georgia’s most desirable mountain destinations.
This is more than a home—it’s a private waterfront retreat with amenities and infrastructure that are nearly impossible to replicate, offering an extraordinary opportunity to own one of Bent Tree’s most unique and captivating properties.
