Description

Welcome to The Retreat on Lookout—a rare opportunity spanning 47+ private acres with three waterfalls, a custom-built log home, and a landscape that feels untouched by time. Just 35 miles to Chattanooga and 80 miles to Atlanta, your escape is closer than you think. A private drive winds past moss-covered boulders and towering pines, guiding you to a 2005, handcrafted log home set just steps from a dam and bridge over a rocky mountain stream. When you arrive, a massive deck welcomes you with an 8' x 16' swim spa overlooking the gorge, with mountain and ridge views stretching all the way to Nashville. Inside, polished wood floors lead to a breathtaking 30-foot master suite beneath skylights on the upper level—large enough to comfortably sleep six. The main level includes another queen bedroom with private bath, laundry closet, and serene views of the gorge. A stone fireplace built from rock taken directly from the property by a local craftsman adds rustic warmth, while a restored 1920s range brings history and character to the heart of the home. Considering DEVELOPMENT? Water lines are already installed from the street, and the property offers potential homesites overlooking the Gorge. Or keep it as a private sanctuary—ideal for Airbnb income, a hunting preserve, event venue, or family retreat. There's no way to fully capture the peace and solitude that settles over you as you arrive... you simply need to experience it. Call Maggie to schedule your private tour. The Retreat is waiting for you. For additional photos, check out ''https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1000480170799806685''.

RETREAT: A secluded place in which one can rest and relax.
