Welcome to "Painted Sky," located in the Bluffs neighborhood of Big Canoe, with private access to Cove Road. A custom home built by Dan DeJiacomo and offered by its original one-owner family, this extraordinary residence combines resilient construction with modern sophistication. Everywhere you look, the home has been designed with resilience and comfort in mind, from Control4 smart automation and Lutron shades to dual hot water heaters, a whole-house generator, water purification, commercial-grade internet, and the remarkable strength of 24-inch concrete walls. Step inside and the drama unfolds with soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed timber beams, and walls of glass that frame sweeping long-range mountain views. The open-concept layout brings together elegance and rustic charm, with a great room designed for both cozy evenings by the fire and memorable gatherings with friends. The kitchen is a true centerpiece, where custom cabinetry rises to the ceiling, a stone tile backsplash adds texture, and a sprawling granite island with bar seating, prep sink, and pendant lighting invites family and guests to gather. Equipped with a Wolf gas range, Bosch double ovens, and stainless appliances, this kitchen is every chef’s dream, flowing seamlessly into the dining area where uninterrupted views make every meal feel extraordinary. The main-level primary suite is a private sanctuary with a spa-like bath featuring a walk-in shower, soaking tub, and custom walk-in closet, while a wood-paneled three-seasons room anchored by a stacked-stone fireplace opens to a cantilevered deck that appears to float above the treetops, offering a dramatic perch for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or stargazing beneath the mountain sky. On the terrace level, the atmosphere shifts to relaxed entertaining with a warm, inviting living room framed by timber beams and natural light, adjacent to a wet bar that is a work of art in itself—stacked stone, live-edge wood counter and floating shelve accents, illuminated display, and an adjoining wine cellar ready for evenings of celebration. Two en suite bedrooms on this level echo the same thoughtful design with tray ceilings, crown molding, expansive windows, and walk-in showers, while one includes a generous closet currently outfitted as a bunk room. Step outside and the terrace-level deck invites you to enjoy the hot tub and mountain air, while below, a series of arched openings creates a striking covered terrace that feels part mountain lodge, part old-world courtyard. This expansive lower level offers endless possibilities, whether a bocce court, shuffleboard, putting green, or a unique event space, and is complemented by an oversized workshop and an additional flex room currently used as a gym. An oversized two-car garage, framed space for a future elevator, and a level driveway add to the practicality, but it is the feeling of the home that truly endures—a place where luxury meets authenticity, where every window captures a 180-degree western view, and where the rhythm of the mountains becomes part of daily life.Big Canoe spans 8,000 acres, with over one-third preserved as parks and green space, and is certified as a Nature Preserve by Georgia Audubon. Residents enjoy access to golf, tennis, pickleball, bocce, a 13,000-square-foot Wellness Center, dog parks, playgrounds, lakes, and 25 miles of scenic hiking trails, with flexible membership options or pay-as-you-go access.
