Property Description

Discover a masterpiece of Southern history at 186 McKaig Gulf Rd, a rare Walden Log Home in the prestigious Lookout Highlands. Completed using hand-hewn heartwood logs salvaged from the 19th-century frontier, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath sanctuary offers 2,398 sqft of comfort, featuring antique heart pine floors from Charleston, SC, repurposed tobacco-pole railings, and interior doors with a storied past. The main level boasts a primary suite with connection to the laundry room through the primary bathroom, while the upstairs showcases guest rooms with private ''comfort station'' baths and a massive, historical ''Summer Beam'' supporting the walkway. Nestled on nearly five private acres inside Lookout Highlands 1600 acre private community, just a mile from McLemore Resort, the property includes unique ''dueling'' indoor/outdoor hearth fireplaces, (ready for gas or natural burning logs) a meticulously fenced master garden, and an eclectic cedar wood workshop. The exterior logs were harvested from Real Foot Lake near Memphis in the 1800's and salvaged from barns and buildings were relocated here. Private access to Tatum Gulf Creek, Custom barnwood pocket doors, Walking trails to Three Sisters Waterfall, community Bluff Park Pavilion (featured), and stocked lakes (featured). The exterior logs were originally harvested from Real Foot Lake near Memphis in the 1800's and used in barns and buildings, later to be salvaged and relocated here. Character, Charm, Refined Quality, and an Encapsulated Crawlspace. To bring their architectural vision to life, the owners enlisted Chattanooga-based Walden Log Homes. This partnership specializes in breathing new life into historical materials. ''Our process relies exclusively on salvaged logs,'' explaining that these timbers were originally shaped by frontier artisans.
This estate is a true ''Beast of Burden'' built for longevity and character--contact Dave and David today to own this timeless Georgia treasure.
