Rare find in the coveted North Oconee School Zone, literally adjacent to the High Shoals ball fields and elementary school. Rather than a more predictable floor plan and home style, 1150 Falcon Ridge is a true artisan designed and built home on a wonderful 8+ acre lot that presents all kinds of possibilities. Original owners are selling after 27 great years using the property as their home and work space with an attached 900' vaulted workshop with a separately metered electrical panel. Fun interior and exterior spaces abound and there is room for expansion of both if desired. This well maintained 3/2 energy efficient home has 1 bed/1 bath on main with 2 beds/1 bath up. Hardwood flooring throughout (Ash on main and maple on 2nd floor) with tile in baths. Custom artisan trim package and multiple striking interior and exterior architectural features create invitation from the moment you round the corner of the long driveway and see the home in the distance. Designed for maximum natural light at every turn. Open floor plan on main consists of a great room with a LR/DR combo with the kitchen overlooking the action. Kitchen has granite countertops, custom cabinets, pantry/laundry combo, induction cook top and Miele and Kitchenaid appliances (fridge and w/d stay). Kitchen has exterior access to the deck and kitchen garden. Additional living space on main, currently being used as a music room and office, is wonderful flex space. Back hall on main leads to the switchback stairwell to the 2nd floor, hall bath, a large bedroom with multiple closets and access to the deck (hot tub?), and back door access with metal stairs designed to land on an eventual patio below. The second floor is anchored by a bright and large living area, making a wonderful private retreat space, and also has a large bath and two more bedrooms, one with exterior access to a large patio overlooking the gardens and acreage beyond. Property also includes a very large 2 car garage with loads of additional space for storage, pole barn, fenced dog run, and extensive hardscape. More exterior features: fenced (electrified if desired) kitchen garden, meditation garden, butterfly garden, rain garden, bonfire/open fire grilling area for the adventurous cook, outdoor shower and much more. Alluvial pond in the wooded area of the property. Want to walk to school and the park through the woods? Let's talk about this option and more.
