A wooden staircase leads straight to the floating screened porch that sits over the water and connects to the dock. Walk across the dock to the boat house, the perfect spot for your pontoon boat and your dual Jet Skis.

Inside this recently remodeled home, you will love the cathedral ceiling with wooden beams and wood paneled walls in the family room. The gray stone fireplace sits next to the stairs. The hearth stones, coupled with the darker tones of wood in the ceiling and guard rail made from tree branches, tie in natural textures in a harmonious balance of nature to which this house pays homage. Shining a little light on everything via the three large windows, the natural lighting in this space paints life with a soft, subdued glow.

A large kitchen sits below the catwalk. Natural wood cabinets, granite counters, breakfast bar island and plenty of cabinets make this charming space all the more cozy. Hardwood flooring spans the open floorplan, surrounding the spaces with finishes found in nature, so that inside and outside have fused and in perfect harmony. French doors open to the screened porch where morning coffee never tasted so good. A restaurant-style booth, also made of natural wood with storage under benches, offers an indoor dining space off the kitchen.

From upstairs, the view from the catwalk to the living spaces below is reminiscent of a treehouse with the tree branch guard rail adding to this theme. The master bedroom further derives a treetop setting looking down on the lake and flora via large glass doors that also allow access to the porch. Both bathrooms continue to display earthy tones in the shower tiles that create the impression of a cave.

Spend every day on the lake, where life is easy. LaPrade’s Marina and Moccasin Creek State Park are just a boat ride away. If you must go, surrounding cities include Tallulah Falls, Helen and Blairsville. The perfect spot for a year-round staycation or a lake haven getaway for lake lovers on long weekends or for summer get togethers is situated in the Blue Ridge Mountains within the Chattahoochee National Forrest at 2228 Moccasin Creek Road in Clarkesville, Georgia.
