1414 Mcelroy Mountain Drive

Big Canoe, GA 30143

Located in the gated mountain community of Big Canoe, approximately one hour north of Atlanta, this extraordinary 4.08-acre estate is the first Bob Timberlake log home built in Georgia. Offering about 7,100 square feet, it combines architectural significance, remarkable provenance and timeless craftsmanship. Constructed in 1996 with massive Eastern white pine logs individually notched and hand-hewn by Hearthstone, the home was personally approved by Bob Timberlake. He later selected it to photograph his 2001 Lodge Collection for Lexington Furniture. A circular drive winds through the trees to a home that feels both grand and welcoming. Soaring beams, heart-of-pine floors, wood walls and stone fireplaces create authentic mountain luxury. The great room offers exceptional entertaining space, while the open kitchen and keeping room form the inviting heart of the home. A butler's pantry, china room and abundant storage make hosting effortless. The main-level primary suite features a vaulted wood ceiling, dual baths and separate closets. Five additional en-suite bedrooms—including three on the main level—provide exceptional privacy. A loft, office, terrace-level family room and flexible spaces offer room for work, recreation and relaxation. Enjoy year-round indoor-outdoor living from the heated and cooled EZ-Breeze porch with fireplace, wraparound porch and multiple decks. Stone pathways lead to an outdoor terrace with a massive stone fireplace, built-in grill and lighted regulation-size horseshoe pit. Additional features include a four-car tandem garage and a large conditioned room beneath it, ideal for a workshop, studio, wine collection or secure storage. Recent improvements include a new cedar shake roof, lightning-protection system, freshly sealed driveway and newly stained decks. Some furnishings are available separately. Listing agent available to show and respects buyer-agent relationships. Buyer to verify all information and dimensions deemed important.
