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.
