FOR SALE BELOW APPRAISED VALUE: A Private Lake. A Private World. A Rare Opportunity. This home offers something almost unheard of in North Georgia: BOTH wrapped in complete privacy. This remarkable retreat sits on approximately 2.5 private acres surrounding a spring-fed, one-acre lake that belongs entirely to you. Not shared. Not community-owned. Yours alone. In a region where “lakefront” almost always means community shoreline, this property quietly stands in a category by itself. It is currently the only lakefront property in Bent Tree that allows the installation of a private dock, creating a lifestyle few mountain homes can ever provide. Imagine stepping outside each morning with coffee in hand as mist rises from your own stocked lake. Spend the afternoon casting for bass or paddling a kayak across glass-like water. End the evening beside the fire or soaking in the jacuzzi while the sunset reflects across the lake. Every day feels less like coming home and more like arriving at your own private mountain resort. The home’s rustic mountain-lodge character blends beautifully with thoughtful modern upgrades. Expansive picture windows frame breathtaking lake views from the main living spaces, while an inviting open floor plan creates an effortless setting for entertaining family and friends. A dramatic 55-inch gas ignited stone fireplace anchors the living room, and the kitchen combines timeless craftsmanship with granite countertops, quality wood cabinetry, a vented gas cooktop, and wall oven. The main-level owner’s suite was designed around the view. Oversized sliding glass doors bring the lake into the room itself, while the spa-inspired bathroom features heated marble floors, a marble shower, towel warmer, and elegant finishes that make every morning feel like a luxury getaway. Upstairs, the home’s open catwalk design continues the connection to the water through oversized windows. Spacious bonus room easily adapts to a media room, second family room, guest accommodations, teen suite, or short-term rental configuration. Outside, every detail encourages life on the water. A sunken flagstone patio reaches directly to the lake’s edge, while extensive Trex decking provides multiple places to gather, relax, and entertain. The circular driveway accommodates more than ten vehicles, making holiday gatherings and weekend celebrations surprisingly easy. Even better, you’re only steps from Bent Tree’s public boat ramp providing access to beautiful Lake Tamarack. Designed with resilience and long-term efficiency in mind, the home incorporates infrastructure rarely found in residential properties. A 27-panel solar array paired with dual Tesla Powerwalls, geothermal HVAC utilizing a lake-loop system, a 34-SEER cooling system, whole-house generator, dual propane tanks, and EV charging station work together to dramatically reduce operating costs while allowing the property to remain comfortable and functional during extended power outages, up to 30 days. Sellers report these improvements reduce average monthly electric costs by approximately 50 percent, and the home’s systems can effectively support self-sufficiency for extended periods during severe weather. All of this is located within Bent Tree, one of North Georgia’s premier gated mountain communities, offering residents access to a Joe Lee-designed golf course, the 110-acre Lake Tamarack, hiking trails, swimming pools, tennis and pickleball courts, an equestrian center, and convenient access to both Metro Atlanta and the Blue Ridge. 144 Indian Beach Trail is one of those rare places where luxury, privacy, recreation, and thoughtful engineering come together to create a mountain retreat that is extraordinarily difficult to duplicate anywhere in North Georgia. Whether you’re searching for a full-time residence, an unforgettable second home, or an exceptional investment opportunity, this property offers a lifestyle that simply cannot be recreated.
