A rare secure retreat on 11+ private acres backing the Chattahoochee National Forest -- no rear neighbors, with protected wilderness as your backdrop. The centerpiece is what almost never comes to market: a brand new underground Atlas Survival Shelters Platinum Series Safe Cellar, engineered as a true NBC (nuclear/biological/chemical) shelter with blast-valve air filtration, a sealed interior-latching hatch, well-fed water storage, and a secondary escape hatch. A genuine self-reliance asset!
Above ground, the property lives just as well as it protects. The renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath main home (approx. 1,680 sq ft, manufactured) features a 4 Yr old roof, HVAC, and energy-efficient windows, plus a gourmet kitchen with Frigidaire Professional appliances and granite counters, a screened porch, and an expansive pergola-covered deck. A separate 554 sq ft site-built guest cottage -- kitchenette, full bath, loft, and private deck with Hot Tub -- offers flexible space for guests or extended family.
The grounds are built for independence and enjoyment alike: a remote-controlled security gate, new fencing, and a primary well with electric pump backed by a hand-draw well that provides water even when the power's out. An open meadow stands ready for gardens or crops, and a tranquil cement pond with a solar-powered pump and aerator adds to the setting, in addition to a fenced garden with raised beds. A second driveway adds access, and a powered two-room shed -- electricity already run -- opens up real possibilities: think tiny home, retreat-shed, studio, or workshop. An additional 2 sheds provide extra storage.
Furnace Creek is a short, private, walk away, with miles of area hiking trails, and high-speed internet keeps you connected. This is a one-of-a-kind blend of comfort, security, and self-sufficiency -- schedule your private showing today.
