SOLD for $1,172,000

Picture this, the “Main” house was completed in 1988 using post and beam construction built over a full basement with a 12″ thick poured concrete wall foundation. This unique three story executive home with all of the solid white oak main timbers assembled on site uses wooden dowels and no nails, has five bedrooms, and three and one half baths. The great room is a huge open area with high ceilings and has an alcove with an Italian porcelain wood stove. The kitchen proudly displays custom pecan wood cabinets trimmed in oak and Corian counter tops.

Built-ins include Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, ice maker, electric range, trash compactor, dishwasher, instant hot water tap, disposal, microwave, commercial copper vent hood and more. An elegant office/study was built with the owner’s needs in mind. The entry foyer is floored in slate with a magnificent tin plated cooper chandelier. A huge 12′ x 41′ screened porch overlooks the majestic North Georgia mountains. We have just “walked through” the new portion of the “Main” house.

Now for the old/new portion. The present owner’s ancestors built a log cabin about 1820 to raise their family. Through the years this structure was cared for and eventually disassembled and stored. The present owners of Greensprings Farm bought the cabin, reassembled it, carefully restored it and incorporated it into the current “Main” house as the living room. As in many log cabins of this circa this too has a beautiful loft that the owners now use as an artist studio. The entire home is totally comfort controlled by three “zoned” electric heat pumps.

The “Caretakers” home is located on the road frontage and was renovated in 1986. It consists of three bedrooms, one bath, entry foyer, living room, large country kitchen, spacious dining area, all appliances including washer and dryer.

The “Grounds”… 95 acres including improved fescue pastures as well as 42 acres of mature loblolly pines which were planted in 10′ spaced rows in 1987. In the “Main” house offering the following is included: a 1.25 acre lake stocked with large mouth bass, brim, channel catfish and sterile grass carp. At the lake’s edge is a large tiled floor Pavilion covered with a Galvalum roof and serviced with water, electricity and telephone, a 16′ x 22′ fully automated greenhouse with propane heater, cooler and watering system, a large “slat house” with 50% shade which is ideally suited for Bonsai culture, a huge warehouse/garage building with three overhead doors and 14′ high poured cement walls, an outdoor sauna, broadcast tower and antenna, satellite receiving system and much, much more.

The property will be offered in small individual tracts, in combinations and as a whole. If you are interested in the “Main” house and amenities listed above, you may purchase this on an acreage tract smaller than the 95 acres. If you are interested in smaller tracts anywhere from 5 acres up to and including the entire 95 acre tract, these are available also. If its Hall County land that you are looking for then this is the auction for you! Small, medium or large acreage, you determine what and how you want to buy!!
