Long before it was inhabited by the Cherokee Indians, the community of Big Canoe was once home to the Paleo Indians nearly 15,000 years ago. Referred to as “The Enchanted Land” by the Native Americans, there is something magical about this part of the North Georgia Mountains that has attracted people to it for centuries. Today, people are still “enchanted” by the area’s natural beauty and peaceful surroundings. Located just an hour outside of Atlanta, Big Canoe is an ideal spot for those looking for a weekend escape, as well as anyone ready to trade the hustle and bustle of city life for a simpler and serene lifestyle. Offering the convenience and amenities not typically found in a secluded mountain setting, Big Canoe is a hidden gem that delivers the best of both worlds.
39 Meadowbrook Ridge at Eagle’s Rest is located in the heart of Big Canoe. Once the model home for this neighborhood, it is beautifully set on a nearly one-acre wooded lot. Perched majestically on a small rise surrounded by mature trees, this property offers complete privacy. Situated just moments to the north security gate, it is convenient to dining, shopping and activities inside the community and in neighboring towns. As you come up the driveway to the two-car garage, you are immediately greeted by a grand, stone wraparound porch. It offers an inviting welcome before you enter this stately home and is the perfect spot to pull up a rocking chair and enjoy the property’s natural surroundings. Move-in ready, this spectacular home features fresh paint throughout and boasts new carpet upstairs and on the terrace level, as well as refinished wood floors on the main level.

Able to accommodate 8+, large windows overlooking the front yard let in lots of natural light, creating a bright space that is perfect for dinner parties. From the dining room, make your way through another arched opening into the kitchen.
