Property Description
Arrive by the graceful circle drive and you'll understand immediately. A deep rocking-chair front porch stretches wide in welcome--the kind of porch where coffee goes cold because the conversation, or the birdsong, was too good to interrupt. Step through the front door and the two-story living room rises above you, crowned with exposed beams and anchored by a hand-laid stone fireplace flanked by custom built-in bookcases. Custom wainscoting wraps the walls throughout the home--a craftsman's touch far beyond ordinary drywall--giving every room the intimate, storybook warmth of a cottage in the woods, executed with the precision of new construction.
The kitchen is as inviting as it is functional: open shelving, contemporary finishes, a fully outfitted walk-in pantry, and a breakfast bar made for lingering. A separate dining room stands ready for holidays and long dinners with friends. On the main level, the primary suite is pure sanctuary--cathedral ceilings lift the room skyward and bathe it in natural light, while the spa-inspired bath indulges with a tiled walk-in shower, freestanding soaking tub, double vanity, and a generous walk-in closet. A dedicated laundry room and stylish half bath complete the main floor.
Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a full bath, and a sunlit loft overlooking the living room below makes an ideal office, library, or media retreat. And the storage--rare is the home with this much of it. Closets abound at every turn, including a finished, climate-controlled room of over 100 square feet: a dream for collectors, hobbyists, or anyone who has ever wished their house simply had more room to breathe. Outside, the property unfolds like a private park across 3.13 wooded acres. A screened back porch invites bug-free evenings; a custom stone patio and winding stone walkway lead to a fire pit set among the trees, where autumn nights were made for gathering. The two-car garage features custom doors, and a detached workshop shed handles projects and gear with ease. Practical luxuries run deep here: a whole-house Generac backup generator--an $18,000 upgrade, professionally serviced in 2025--ensures the lights never flicker, fed by a propane tank (also serving the fireplace) that conveys with the home. Monthly professional pest control has been faithfully maintained since day one. This is a home that has been loved, and it shows.
Then there is the setting--and there is truly nothing else like it. The home is embraced by a 30-acre HOA-owned greenbelt that can never be sold or developed, a permanent guarantee that the forest views and profound privacy you fall in love with today will still be yours decades from now. Beyond the greenbelt lies Lookout Highlands, a gated 1,500-acre private mountain community of extraordinary natural beauty: five lakes and ponds--two stocked with bass, bream, and catfish--with boat launches for lazy afternoons on the water; miles of hiking trails tracing streams and waterfalls to sweeping bluff overlooks; and the Bluff Park Pavilion, where neighbors gather for celebrations against a mountain backdrop. Fiber-optic internet delivers city-grade connectivity to your mountain hideaway, making remote work seamless. All of it is maintained by a remarkably modest HOA fee of approximately $1,000 per year, covering twice-yearly road grading, lake stocking and management, trail upkeep, and the front security gate.
Minutes away, McLemore Golf Resort crowns the mountain with a world-class course and dramatic cliff-edge views--with ambitious expansions planned, including a fitness center, pool, dog park, tennis and pickleball courts, playground, bar & grill, mountain biking trails, community park, and a future fire station with paramedics. When errands call, Trenton is just 20 minutes away with groceries, pharmacy, urgent care, and I-59 access; LaFayette's Walmart, Food City, shopping, and dining are 25 minutes; and downtown Chattanooga's restaurants, riverfront, and airport are only 45 minutes from your front door.
Cooler summers. Guaranteed privacy. Water, waterfalls, and world-class golf. A home built with intention and kept with devotion. This isn't just an address on the mountain--it's the life you've been promising yourself. Come claim it.
