857 lakeview drive

Perched atop the iconic Aska Adventure Area and just minutes from Downtown Blue Ridge, 857 Lakeview Drive is a rare legacy estate that blends timeless log construction with modern mountain luxury. Nestled behind a private gated drive and surrounded by native Hemlocks, this stunning timber-frame retreat offers year-round, layered views of Lake Blue Ridge and the Blue Ridge Mountains—an inspiring setting that feels remote, yet is easily accessible. Crafted with true log construction, the main residence showcases rustic elegance with soaring ceilings, exposed beams, and a wall of windows that frame the panoramic views. The open-concept design flows from a gourmet kitchen with premium appliances to expansive living and dining areas—ideal for entertaining or relaxing fireside. The primary suite is a peaceful escape, complete with a private screened porch with glass railings for unobstructed vistas. On the terrace level, enjoy a rec room with wet bar, a charming sunroom wrapped in rare reclaimed Chestnut-wood, and access to expansive wraparound Trex decks designed for gathering and taking in the natural surroundings. Just across the drive, the Coach House is a standout feature. This detached two-car garage includes a beautifully finished guest apartment with a full reclaimed Chestnut-wood kitchen, king bedroom, and ensuite bath. One wing offers a heated/cooled yoga studio, artist's loft, or office. The other features a potting room, dog wash station, and workshop. Additional features include high-speed fiber internet, whole-house generator, energy-efficient systems, full home surveillance, and gated access bordering the Chattahoochee National Forest. Whether used as a full-time home, private retreat, or luxury investment, this is mountain living at its most refined—where craftsmanship, comfort, and nature converge.
