Whether used as a full-time home, family compound, private getaway, or working farm, this multifunctional mountain property is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. 162± acres teeming with water features, white oak trees, and rock formations – not to mention panoramic vistas – sit just 15 minutes south of the acclaimed McLemore Club and Golf Course on Lookout Mountain.

At the heart of the property is a log home lodge that boasts both character and charm. Inside, the substantial wood beams, high ceilings, and hardwood flooring prove to be the ideal backdrop for a number of design schemes. Classic log home elements like the living room’s grand stone fireplace and wagon wheel chandeliers help maintain an undeniable sense of place – this attention to detail is evident everywhere you turn.

The floor plan of this 2,196-square-foot home includes three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a roomy eat-in kitchen with all of the modern touches: stainless-steel appliances, abundant storage, and an extended island that can cater to relaxed family meals and larger gatherings. Coupled with the distressed cabinetry and wooden backsplash, the kitchen expertly delivers on the cozy, rustic aesthetic.

To truly appreciate this homestead’s mountaintop surroundings, time must be spent outdoors. Two large porches offer homeowners the perfect perch for viewing the local wildlife. For the avid angler, a spring-fed lake stocked with bass and bluegill is its own private paradise. A year-round creek and two ponds scattered across the property provide even more opportunities for water activities.
