396 Grouse Gap Dr 
Big Canoe, GA 30143

Times have changed, indeed, and one of those changes is the need/desire for multi-generational homes in Big Canoe....Think "In-Law Suite" taken to the next level!.... 396 Grouse Gap Drive offers that option. A rare find in a home, with two Bedrooms on the Main Level as well as two Bedrooms on the Terrace Level that could easily accommodate two families...The Terrace Level has a spacious finished/plumbed area that can be converted to a full Kitchen and Dining Room adjacent to the Rec Room. In addition, there is exterior access to the Terrace Level, and a 3-floor elevator for ease of mobility, as well as an open staircase to the Main Level. In an age when more than one generation of a family is living under one roof, this beautiful home offers it, with luxury to boot! The current owner is an engineer by education and a highly-skilled craftsman/tinkerer by hobby and passion - with the planning, design, construction and impeccable maintenance of this home reflecting it all..... The blending of natural beauty and human ingenuity are in full evidence on both the exterior and interior (freshly painted in Aug 2025) of this beautiful 4BDR/4BA Country-Traditional home, privately positioned on a gently-sloped 2.72AC (+/-) lot convenient to Big Canoe's North Gate and all amenities..... amongst hardwoods, native flora/fauna, tasteful landscaping and gardens...... A remote-controlled 12-zone drip/sprinkler system is installed to cover all four sides of the home, including gardens. The sprinkler lines are supplied by a buried 1700-gallon cistern tank, water provided by house/garage roof drains. Within the four Bedrooms (two on the Main Level) and four Baths are surprises far beyond the average high-end home. A full-home generator, interior sprinkler system, foam insulation, motion-detector exterior lighting, 220v and CAT 5 wiring, four separate HVAC systems, 80-gallon water heater, 3-car Garage (one bay with 8' entry/ceiling for truck/trailer; garage floor sloped down at doorway for drainage)....A 36"x43" elevator to three levels (Main, Terrace, huge walk-through Attic) allows convenience and practicality.
