A storybook mountain bungalow ranch home w/ xl garage and level drive! If you can show me a better home for the value, then I'll give a season pass for Open Georgia Wine! The gentle ambiance of a sunset view w/ seasonal Lake Tamarack views framed by surrounding mountain vistas. A charming walking path winds through lush green space to the community pool and tennis/pickleball center, enhancing the home’s quiet, resort-style atmosphere and inviting an easy rhythm of daily living. Thoughtfully renovated throughout, the residence blends comfort with intention — featuring a new HVAC system, updated kitchen appliances, a whole-house generator, beautifully remodeled baths, and a shiplap ceiling that adds warmth and architectural character to the open-concept living area. The glass-enclosed back room provides a light-filled retreat for morning coffee or evening unwinding, while the expansive deck extends the living space outdoors on a rare, level lot designed for effortless entertaining or peaceful solitude. Additional highlights include an oversized garage and generous crawlspace, offering practical storage for seasonal décor, outdoor equipment, and travel essentials. Whether envisioned as a full-time sanctuary, a restorative weekend escape, or a versatile investment, this home supports multiple lifestyles with ease. Ideally positioned less than five minutes from the security gate, convenience meets tranquility in a setting designed to feel both grounded and elevated. Bent Tree offers a lifestyle where recreation and restoration naturally coexist. As one of the region’s few golf-cart-friendly communities, daily movement feels relaxed and unhurried. The championship golf course, designed by Joe Lee, is complemented by a full pro shop and welcoming clubhouse atmosphere. Residents enjoy USTA-level tennis facilities with both indoor and outdoor courts, including clay surfaces and dedicated pickleball courts, along with two swimming pools that provide year-round enjoyment. Outdoor living extends far beyond the fairways. A private 110-acre lake invites kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing, and quiet electric-motor boating, while stocked fishing waters offer peaceful morning rituals. Miles of hiking trails, natural waterfalls, and open green spaces create opportunities to reconnect with nature at every turn. Horse stables and guided horseback riding add a distinctive mountain charm, and the onsite restaurant provides a convenient gathering place for neighbors and friends. Life here moves at a restorative pace — active when desired, serene when needed — offering a rare balance of amenities, natural beauty, and community connection in North Georgia.
