This may be the most beautiful 30 acres in all of Georgia. The perfect example of how a simple vision can be transformed into a majestic private escape, your weekend retreat, your country cottage or an event space that can be an incredible setting shared for the most special occasions in someone's life. Welcome to The Falls at Whitetail Ranch, located in the heart of one of the fastest growing communities North of Atlanta. Calhoun is strategically located between the quaint river community of Chattanooga & the heart of Downtown Atlanta. You're a short drive away from the Blue Ridge & Appalachian Mountains. Whether you're longing for the neon lights of the city or those from the stars above, Calhoun is strategically located for whatever it is that you desire. A nearly 6-acre fully stocked lake is the focal point of The Falls. A beautifully hand-crafted bridge, the length of a football field, with Gazebo, spans the water's edges. Always at full pool, the lake is fed from underground springs and a nearly 450-mile watershed; its waters are always moving which makes for pristine mirrored reflections year-round. The spillway on the lake's north end is constantly feeding the Salacoa Creek, which flows into the Coosawattee River running downstream from Carters Lake. A fishing pier adorns the water's edge on the lake's north end. A flowing river fed by pumps pulling water from the lake cuts through the heart of the property; almost as if created by God, the stream flows through a natural environment that's accented with architectural precision. The water's path takes it beneath a wooden bridge that spans the break in the asphalt's drive, over a fall and back into your private lake. Three more waterfalls span the lake's southern edge. Both the river & south end of the lake are lined w/handpicked boulders and stone from the North Georgia mountains. It took design crews & craftsmen more than 3 years to retrieve & strategically place the rock throughout The Falls. An industrial fountain at the lake's south end is patterned after the fountains at Augusta and is illuminated at night by four LED lights. Spectacular. A hardscaped area has been crafted alongside the property's original nearly 100-year-old cottage including a stone grill, fire pit & gaming area with horseshoes and corn hole. Landscape lighting & party lights create an incredible after dark atmosphere throughout The Falls, strategically placed from the gates as you enter, to the bridge and the structures throughout The Falls. Simply breathtaking. Roughly 10-acres are kept beautifully manicured. Nearly every inch of the property is neatly maintained. 32-zones of sprinklers ensure The Falls will stay green and lush throughout the summer, even in the absence of rain. Don't worry about your water bill, the irrigation system pulls from the lake. A nearly 4,000 square foot pavilion, with wet bar, stage, bench seating & a half bath overlooks the Salacoa Creek on the property's eastern boundary. If you choose to keep The Falls as an events space, it comes with Lifetime tables & chairs for seating for roughly 200 people. The main home hosts an open lodge type entrance with stone fireplace, open living area & kitchen. Beyond the entrance is a master bath and suite, and a half bath. If you'd like a second or third bedroom, the one car garage and open attic space can both be transformed into bedrooms with full baths, easily making this home into a 3 חדר שינה, 3 & a half bath cottage. With wrap around porch, screened in patio and back deck with gazebo overlooking the Salacoa Creek, you will experience the most breathtaking sunsets and sunrises most every day of the year. Once you've arrived, you may never want to leave. The property includes a 540 sq ft detached garage, 300 sq ft bathhouse w/shower & HVAC. There is nothing that compares the breathtaking views and colors of the seasons of The Falls. Call us today for a private tour!
