Whether you are looking for a spectacular primary residence,...Welcome to The Prescott Lodge: Steeped in rich local history and wrapped in the quiet majesty of the North Georgia mountains canopy, the historic Prescott Lodge offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Lakemont's storied past. Originally built in the 1920s as a hunting and fishing retreat, this exceptional mountain cottage has been thoughtfully renovated to marry its timeless, century-old character with the refined comforts of modern living. Whether you are looking for a spectacular primary residence, a peaceful weekend getaway, or a high-potential investment property just minutes from the shores of Lake Rabun and Seed Lake, this estate delivers an unparalleled mountain lifestyle. From the moment you step inside you are greeted by the warmth of classic 1920s craftsmanship. The heart of the home is the magnificent great room, defined by the soaring vaulted ceilings with open-air framing and original exposed wooden beams, a grand floor to ceiling stone fireplace and warm hardwood floors. The cottage style kitchen although modern in usefulness maintains a feel of yesteryear with its deep farmstyle sink backed by large pane windows looking out to the triple tiered garden, its open display shelves and its hidden away dry scullery! The luxurious owner's suite features lofty ceilings, a generous walk-in closet with built in chest of drawers, a spa-like bath complete with a separate soaking tub and walk-in shower as well as a private entrance to the private third side of the wrap around porch. The two additional guest bedrooms along with the tiled bathroom provide private comfortable, sunlit quarters for family and friends. On the terrace level you'll discover a fully independent apartment / mother-in-law suite that continues the warm rustic craftsman style. Complete with its own covered front porch, private back deck, full kitchen, bathroom, living area, and private entrance, this versatile space is perfect for multi-generational living, hosting long-term guests, or generating passive income as a long term or vacation rental. Spanning over an acre of lush, gently terraced mountain land, the exterior of Prescott Lodge is an outdoor lover's paradise. The wraparound rocking chair porch is the ultimate spot for your morning coffee, evening sweet tea or soaking in the hot tub while enjoying seasonal mountain views and a front-row seat to nature's surroundings. The tiered gardens and picket fences were lovingly designed by an artistic mountain gardener with local stone and grassy footpaths that wind through established sunlit and shaded flowerbeds with weather vanes, wind chimes and birdfeeders. The historic Prescott Lodge is complete with its own grilling and party pavilion. This dedicated outdoor cooking space with its local sourced stone floor was designed for hosting summer barbecues and smoking your favorite dishes after a day on the water. Situated in the highly sought-after Rabun County corridor, this home offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. You are just a short drive from Lake Rabun & Seed Lake with their premier boating, kayaking, and trout fishing, the historic Lakemont Village with art galleries, local dining, and boutique shopping, and outdoor adventures with countless hiking trails and cascading waterfalls in nearby parks like Tallulah Gorge. Don't miss your chance to own this wonderful piece of history!
