A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own an extraordinary piece of Southern history on the coveted, private shores of Moon Lake in Mentone. Originally commissioned for Martha Berry, visionary founder of Berry College, this heirloom log estate is a masterclass in artisan craftsmanship and timeless elegance. Set on nearly 4 pristine acres, the residence is constructed with hand-hewn beams, square-cut logs, and anchored by five majestic stone fireplaces.

With 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, this expansive home offers refined comfort and enduring authenticity. A sweeping screened porch invites lakeside relaxation, while a vaulted carport with handcrafted stone barbeque offers elevated outdoor living amid mature native landscaping that frames the home in serene natural beauty. The property enjoys access to a common area adjoining the West Fork of Little River, further enhancing its appeal as both a secluded retreat and a gateway to nature. Ownership is subject to approval by the Moon Lake Club, ensuring the privacy and integrity of this sought-after enclave. For the discerning buyer who values provenance, artistry, and peace—this historic Mentone estate is truly without equal. Priced $950,000.
