144 Indian Beach Trail Set on 2.5 private acres, this exceptional home offers a rare blend of refined living, natural beauty, and energy efficient systems, all anchored by a private, spring fed 1-acre lake that creates a setting few homes can replicate. Blending modern upgrades with an enduring character of a rustic mountain retreat, this home feels distinctive and remarkably livable. From the moment you enter, picture windows draw your attention to the walk-out lake front, filling the home with natural light and magnificent views. The open concept main level has been thoughtfully designed for both living and entertaining, with a seamless flow. The kitchen blends timeless finishes with function, featuring a gas cooktop, wall oven, granite countertops, wood cabinetry, and serving space for gathering. The main level owner's suite offers convenience and privacy, with energy efficient sliding glass doors and full lake views. The updated primary bath delivers a true spa like experience, complete with heated marble tile floors, heated towel rack, a walk-in marble tiled shower, and granite countertop vanity. Upstairs, a catwalk overlooking the main living area carries the lake views and natural light throughout the upper level, creating a connection and open feel. Two secondary bedrooms are joined by a Jack and Jill bath, while a spacious bonus room offers exceptional flexibility as a second family room, teen retreat, or additional sleeping spaces. The outdoors is where this property truly distinguishes itself. Centered around a fully private, 1-acre spring fed lake, not shared or community owned, the setting offers a level of privacy, beauty, and enjoyment that is rare. Stocked with bass, bream, turtles, and other native wildlife, enhanced by a custom overflow dam into the neighboring lake, it is designed for far more than scenery alone. A sunken flagstone patio at the water's edge creates an immersive connection to the lake, an ideal setting for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or a quiet afternoon spent fishing just steps from your home. Trex decking, a hot tub, sauna, and Endless Pool therapy system further elevate the experience and relaxation. Designed with entertaining in mind, the property offers features rarely found in a mountain setting, including a flat, circular driveway that accommodates 10+ cars, in addition to a spacious 2-car garage. The lot is a double parcel, offering flexibility for a future home addition, garage expansion, or simply preserving the added privacy it provides today. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this home has been enhanced to deliver long term efficiency, resilience, and sustainability. Systems include a geothermal HVAC lake loop system for heating and 34 SEER cooling, solar panels, 2 Tesla Powerwalls capable of powering the home for up to 24 hrs, a 20KW GE whole home generator with a 20-day capacity, and 2 500g propane tanks. Additional updates include a striking 55" stone fireplace, Trex decking, and a Tesla fast car charger. Low maintenance vinyl siding adds practical appeal while offering durability against the natural elements.

GA Mountains, this home presents a unique opportunity as a primary residence, private second home retreat and short-term rental investment, with strong appeal for buyers seeking a distinctive waterfront experience.
