About This Home
Welcome to Oakwood Estates, a bespoke mountain estate where contemporary craftsmanship meets timeless lodge design. Perched on a private, elevated ridge with sweeping mountain views, this 10-bed, 10.5 bath masterpiece redefines luxury mountain living. Custom designed and artisan-built, the property spans two fully equipped residences, each with its own character, amenities, and breathtaking vistas, offering an unparalleled opportunity for multi-generational living, investment income, or a private family compound. The main lodge showcases Colorado-inspired architecture with natural stone, timber, and glass framing the mountain panorama. Inside are 5 king ensuites, a nursery, and a bunkroom, along with multiple gathering spaces, including a sound-insulated theater with wetbar, Finnish sauna, game rooms, and 2 gourmet kitchens, ideal for entertaining. Outdoor living takes center stage with wrap-around covered decks, a double-sided stone fireplace, hot tub, and firepit overlooking the mountains. The private cottage mirrors the same elevated design, offering 3 king ensuites, 4 full baths, private gym, infrared sauna, kitchen, hot tub, game loft, and a covered deck with fireplace, perfect for guests, extended family, or additional rental revenue. Smart home technology and infrastructure meet natural beauty, including 6 fireplaces, 4 HVAC units, 2 Generac generators, whole-home humidifiers, ERV systems, 2 septic systems, radon mitigation, and fiber-optic. A detached, insulated 2-car garage offers conversion potential for added living space. Currently a successful short-term rental, the estate comes fully furnished with projected annual revenue of $425K+. Live in one home while renting the other, host retreats, or simply enjoy the privacy of your own mountain sanctuary; the possibilities are endless. Just minutes from downtown Ellijay in High River, with gated access, paved roads, river access, and proximity to hiking and wineries, this is mountain living at its finest.
