The Lodge
The lodge is perched atop the hill, nestled in boxwood hedges and overlooking the old dairy and golden sunflower fields. The view continues into the horizon, where hardwoods meet the fertile banks of the Coosa River. The heart of this oasis is the kitchen and dining space. An expansive kitchen is primed with custom cabinetry and granite countertops, a unique copper sink, and modern appliances. This kitchen opens expertly into an exquisite pine vaulted ceiling. With room for two banquet-sized tables, this one-of-a-kind space is an entertainer’s dream. Large iron chandeliers add to plentiful natural light filtering in through the large windows, making the space perfect for both a large business event or quiet supper with the family. A 546-square-foot screened-in porch lies off the dining room and overlooks the old dairy.
Adjacent to the incredible dining room and open adjoining kitchen lie two separate unique gathering spaces. Each contains a double-facing fireplace built from reclaimed masonry. Earthy honed marble hearths give these warming rooms a sense of antiquity and call for congregating. Heavy wood carving details in the chandeliers and antique furnishings pair nicely with the massive iron chandeliers throughout, rendering a most artistic lodge appeal.
The second warming room opens to a spacious game room and dry bar with connected large bath. This area could easily be reimagined as a master suite complete with private patio. The massive bathroom has a very solid appeal with 24-inch slate floor tiles, leathered granite countertops and antique three-paneled wood mirror. Rubbed bronze fixtures finish the room off with rugged luxury.
A rear entertaining room with comfortable lounge sitting and antique card table is uniquely accented with a large pine log wall constructed with 10-inch hand-hewn pine beams. This living space leads intuitively to an expansive hallway with an alternative entry, giving this hallway a mudroom capability. Large storage closets fit hunting gear with ease as guests come in from the fields toward their private rooms.
Two large bedrooms complete with walk-in closets share a spacious bath. This bathroom also features large slate tiling, leathered granite, and bronze fixtures. Both bedrooms have access to an outdoor patio. In total, the lodge is a spacious 3,503 square feet with an additional 2,083 square feet of outdoor living space.
