Modern luxury meets homestead charm on Lookout Mountain. Experience the rare intersection of refined elegance and self-sufficient country living at 524 Payne Chapel Road. Nestled on approximately 6.65 private acres atop scenic Lookout Mountain in Walker County, GA, this ~5,008 square foot modern farmhouse is a masterclass in thoughtful design. Whether you envision a quiet mountain retreat or a thriving homestead, this estate offers an elevated lifestyle just 20 minutes from the heart of Chattanooga. From the clean white exterior and galvanized steel roof to the inviting wrap-around porch, the home is built to impress, while inside much of the woodwork tells a story of the land itself--custom-milled from hardwoods harvested directly from the property. The main level features an inviting foyer, a private office with built-ins, and a stunning great room anchored by a stacked-stone, high-efficiency wood-burning fireplace. The gourmet kitchen is designed for the culinary enthusiast with granite countertops, a center island with prep sink, a professional-grade Wolf range, and a large walk-in pantry. The primary suite offers a main-level sanctuary with dual walk-in closets and a spa-like bath featuring a tiled shower and classic clawfoot tub. Upstairs, the second level provides a central living area surrounded by four bedrooms, two baths, and a bonus office, while the third level opens into a massive recreation space ideal for a theater, playroom, or flexible living. A private in-law suite over the garage, with separate access through the mudroom, includes a kitchenette and full bath, offering ideal accommodations for guests or multi-generational living. Outside, the 6.65-acre property is thoughtfully designed for both productivity and enjoyment, featuring a fenced raised-bed garden with pergola, a dedicated plumbed greenhouse, a fully equipped ''luxury'' chicken coop with electricity, and a substantial 22' x 32' detached outbuilding with its own 200-amp service. Enjoy the mountain setting from the wrap-around porch, rear covered deck, or custom treehouse, all while benefiting from modern comforts including hardwood and tile flooring throughout, sound system wiring, intercoms, a functional mudroom with utility sink, durable Hardi-plank siding, and ample walk-out storage. The home is serviced by a 1,000-gallon owned propane tank (with substantial fuel remaining), includes a propane hookup for a generator near the electrical panel (generator not included unless negotiated), and offers the convenience of EPB electric and fiber internet. Offering peaceful Georgia mountain living with convenient access to top schools, shopping, hospitals, and the Chattanooga Airport, this is a rare opportunity to own a property that truly has it all.
