A 2019 estate on 6.8 private acres bordering rushing Walnut Creek - without being in a flood zone! Welcome home to Grist Mill Lodge, a well-appointed home with paved state road access to your driveway. Cross the bridge into paradise... living at 3,000ft elevation will keep you cool in the summers. Only one restriction (no mobile homes) so bring the camper, ATV & hobby farm animals! Pull into your attached garage or up to the main level, where a front porch (stubbed for a hot tub!) awaits & a wide entry foyer leads to an open great room. You'll be impressed by the custom oak floors & vaulted ceiling, plus there's framing for a future woodstove. A farmhouse-style eat-in kitchen boasts abundant cabinets, a built-in desk, gas range & farm sink, and there is access to the huge wrap-around entertainment deck. The oversized primary suite features a sitting area, deck access, walk-in closet & charming en-suite bath. Another stunning custom guest bath is shared by 2 other bedrooms on this level. The laundry room is also on main. There's indoor/outdoor access to the large family/gameroom on the terrace level + bonus space for a gym/library + storage galore. You'll adore the dreamy garden/she- shed, where there is an RV pole & water nearby.. Only 2 Miles to Lake Glenville, 11 miles to Franklin, 16 miles to Cashiers. Truly a tranquil mountain oasis that you'll love calling “home”!
