Wonderful remote location on the lake
As other reviews have said, this is a gorgeous location on the lake. The views are incredible. The house is custom and beautifully constructed. The house is in overall good condition though it has a variety of minor deferred maintenance issues (missing paint, leaking faucets, etc).
Todd was very responsive to questions and drove up from Atlanta to troubleshoot the boat that wasn't starting properly once the engine was hot.
A few things to be aware of that were not on the listing:
1. There is a charge for the boat.
2. Cell coverage is terrible in the area. Verizon and AT&T both have minimal coverage at the house and none on the lake or on the roads in the area. T-Mobile has no coverage at all.
3. Wi-Fi connection is slow and they tell you to only use it minimally because they are limited to only a few GB per month.
4. The house is 30 minutes or more from the nearest towns with grocery stores (Franklin or Topton) or major highways. The house itself has a very steep paved driveway. Then there's a half mile of well maintained single lane gravel road, then about 15 miles of narrow windy paved mountain roads to get back to the highway.
So, in short, if you're looking for a gorgeous home in a beautiful location with a great excuse to disconnect from the rest of the world, this place is perfect.
