1176 Tiger Pass Drive

Description

Private Mini-Mountain Top Retreat with Panoramic Views Perched at a cool 2,500-foot elevation in the desirable Northridge development on Tiger Mountain, this 2,850-square-foot sanctuary offers an unparalleled living experience. The journey begins up a winding, paved drive that leads to a private 3 acre "mini-mountain top", where a classic covered porch welcomes you into a home designed to celebrate its natural surroundings. The heart of the residence is an awe-inspiring, 1,000-square-foot Great Room. This massive open-concept space features soaring vaulted ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and a focal-point fireplace. Large windows invite year-round mountain views inside, while the chef's kitchen-complete with a large social island and extensive hard-surface countertops-serves as the perfect command center for entertaining. Adjacent to the kitchen, the separate dining area features its own vaulted ceiling and striking eave glass, bathing every meal in natural light. The main-level primary suite is a private haven, offering direct access to a screened porch that feels like an extension of the forest. The upper level provides a quiet bedroom and bath retreat, while the lower level features a dedicated guest suite with a full bath, opening onto a private covered deck. In addition to the 2,850 s.f. of living area, the oversized 1,130-square-foot finished garage is a rare find (which, by the way, brings the total to nearly 4,000 s.f.). It's an amazing space for cars, boats, toys, and other pursuits, and also an immense space that has the potential to be repurposed to additional living space, like a game room or den. Other features include a whole-house generator, recently new HVAC, durable HardiePlank siding, gas fire pit on the front porch, two separate gas stoves - one in the master and one in the bottom bedroom, a fenced dog area, and a separate storage building. Experience the peace and elevation of Northridge-a home where you truly feel on top of the world. Beyond your private retreat, immerse yourself in the natural wonders of Rabun County. Enjoy thousands of acres of U.S. National Forest perfect for hiking, fishing, mountain biking, and whitewater rafting. Explore the pristine waters of Lakes Rabun, Seed, and Burton, or marvel at the dramatic beauty of Tallulah Lake and Tallulah Gorge State Park. Just a short 10-minute drive away is charming Clayton, one of Georgia's best mountain towns, offering amazing restaurants and unique shops. This is more than just a home; it's a lifestyle. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of paradise in the North Georgia Mountains! (see floor plan at the end of photos)
