BEAR PAW LODGE Private Lakefront Luxury in the North Georgia Mountains 245 Bear Paw Trail | Blue Ridge, Georgia | Gilmer County Behind a private gated entrance and surrounded by nearly two acres of peaceful mountain landscape, Bear Paw Lodge offers something increasingly difficult to find in North Georgia: substantial lakefront living, privacy, modern infrastructure, and easy paved access — all just minutes from downtown Blue Ridge. Custom built for its owner, this extraordinary mountain-modern residence encompasses more than 4,500 square feet overlooking the quiet waters of private Big Sisson Lake, with its own floating dock. Step through grand double doors into a dramatic great room, where vaulted ceilings soar more than 22 feet above exposed hardwood beams and expansive walls of gl ass draw your eye directly to the lake. Rich custom wood walls and ceilings continue throughout the home, creating the warmth and character of a true mountain lodge without sacrificing contemporary comfort. The thoughtfully designed open floor plan includes five spacious bedrooms, with one ideally suited as a private office or study, along with five and a half spa-inspired bathrooms and two separate laundry rooms. The master suite includes double walk-in closets and a master bath with heated floors. At the center of the home is a chef-inspired kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Premium European appliances, a commercial-style cooktop, and a striking live-edge island combine craftsmanship with function. Custom natural quartzite countertops continue throughout the entire home, carrying the same level of finish and attention to detail well beyond the main kitchen. A second full kitchen provides additional flexibility for guests, extended family, or entertaining. Two separate living areas are each centered around a stone fireplace with convenient gas ignition, while a fully sound-proofed media room creates a private space for movies, music, or simply getting away from it all. And then there is the outdoor living. Three separate main-level walkouts connect the home naturally to two levels of covered decking overlooking the lake. Relax beside the upper-level outdoor fireplace, unwind in the eight-person hot tub, gather around the lower fire pit, or walk down to your private floating dock for an early-morning paddle, an afternoon of fishing, or simply a quiet evening beside the water. Bear Paw Lodge is equally impressive where you don't immediately see it. The property is equipped with a whole-house generator, two dedicated HVAC systems, 750-foot private well, complete water-softening system, whole-house tankless water heater, 325-gallon buried propane tank, and high-speed fiber internet currently delivering approximately 313 Mbps. An oversized two-car garage provides generous parking along with separate dedicated storage space. And unlike many mountain properties, getting here doesn't require navigating miles of steep gravel roads. Paved roads lead all the way to Bear Paw Lodge, providing convenient year-round access while preserving the privacy and tranquility buyers come to the mountains to find. The property has no HOA. Downtown Blue Ridge and its restaurants, galleries, shops, and small-town charm are only minutes away — yet from the decks, dock, or great room of Bear Paw Lodge, they can feel a world removed. Private lake. Mountain setting. Exceptional craftsmanship. Modern infrastructure. Easy access are some of the key features of this home. Completed in 2024, this home is now available for you to enjoy. Some homes are better experienced than described. Bear Paw Lodge is one of them.
