Southern Land Exchange is proud to present Whitepath Lodge Mountain Retreat, once a hotel and most recently a cultural health and wellness retreat center. Whitepath Lodge sits on a large 7.67-acre lot atop the beautiful mountains of Ellijay, GA. It is an extraordinary place with unlimited potential. The current owners have made incredible improvements to the property with an attention to detail over the past 8 years. They have truly left their mark on the property and now it's time for someone else to leave theirs. Whitepath Lodge has a massive 15,912 SF primary structure, a secondary structure that is large in its own right at 6,912 SF, and even a stand-alone 1,126 SF office building. To build this property today would easily exceed $3M. There are 14 suites in total. The 3-story main lodge has eight suites, all of which include two large bedrooms, three baths, a fully equipped kitchen, laundry room and gas fireplace. Half of the units have an additional room that could be used as an office or spare bedroom. Large wrap-around porches offer outdoor dining and panoramic views of the mountains. The bottom floor or basement area of the lodge is an impressive amount of additional space offering a large open-span conference style room with a kitchen and office spaces, as well as bathrooms. There is also a huge commercial size garage area for equipment or small vehicle storage. The secondary structure consists of five suites. Four of the suites are 2 beds 2 baths and one unit is 4 bed 4 bath. Each suite has an open living room, dining area and a fully equipped kitchen on the main level, complete with a gas fireplace. The bedrooms and laundry room are downstairs. These units have upstairs and downstairs balconies. The office building has a nice check-in / reception area plus a spacious 1 bed 1 bath with a balcony. The property is zoned C1 which allows for many uses such as but not limited to hotel / short-term rental, bed & breakfast, animal hospital, assisted living / nursing homes, day care center, office, retail / shopping center, country club, hospital, possible wedding venue and much more. The property is also permitted as a dwelling for an onsite caretaker which is essentially a single-family residence. Relax and unwind at your own private luxury retreat overlooking the 10th Tee at Whitepath Golf Course. Enjoy resort style accommodations with the 100,000-gallon natural stone swimming pool, nature/walking trails, tranquil goldfish pond, stunning landscaping, plus convert the existing outdoor training area into your own helipad or tennis courts. And if that wasn't enough, Whitepath Lake is just a short walk away. All HVAC systems have been either updated or replaced and all the gas fireplaces have been updated as well. The property comes with two large Generac generator systems to power the whole property if the lights go out. The lodge is located on 7 miles from Ellijay, less than 20 minutes from Blueridge and 90 minutes north of Atlanta.
