Rich Mountain Majesty is one of Blue Ridge’s premier luxury mountain lodges, combining dramatic Rich Mountain Wilderness views, custom craftsmanship, generous gathering spaces, and easy paved access just minutes from both Blue Ridge and Ellijay. Designed for guests who want a truly elevated mountain experience, this custom lodge offers three king suites, private baths, a chef’s kitchen, game room, outdoor fireplace, fire pit, wraparound decks, fast fiber internet, and unforgettable mountain scenery from nearly every room.
From the moment you arrive, the setting feels special. The drive to the property is fully paved and offers dramatic mountain views as you ascend the ridge. Once at the lodge, the front door is just a few feet and four steps from the driveway, making arrival easy and convenient.
Step inside and the first impression is immediate: this is a true mountain lodge. A large foyer opens into the grand great room, where soaring spaces, luxury lodge furnishings, a stone gas-log fireplace, HDTV, and walls of windows frame close-range views of the Rich Mountain Wilderness. From inside the home, you can watch clouds, sunlight, and weather move across three nearby peaks rising over 4,000 feet.
Luxury Lodge Living
The main level is designed for gathering, comfort, and convenience. The open floor plan includes the great room, dining area, chef’s kitchen, butler’s pantry, laundry area, and a king suite. Giant Canadian logs, exotic wood flooring, fine plaster walls, and custom finishes create a space that feels grand, rustic, refined, and comfortable all at once.
The chef’s kitchen is fully equipped for memorable meals at the cabin, with high-end appliances, generous prep space, and everything needed for cooking, entertaining, and lingering over dinner. The dining area seats six and flows easily into the great room, making the main level ideal for conversation, meals, games, and relaxed evenings by the fire.
Three King Suites
Rich Mountain Majesty offers three king suites, each with its own private bath, making it especially well suited for couples, adult families, retreats, and smaller groups who want comfort and privacy.
The main-level king suite includes a private bath with a true steam shower, creating a spa-like retreat after a day of hiking, shopping, rafting, or exploring the mountains.
Upstairs, two additional king suites offer hotel-quality bedding, private baths, and their own distinct lodge style. The upper level also includes a dedicated office area with desk, chairs, and printer, making it easy to work remotely if needed. Step outside from this level to a covered porch with rocking chairs and a western mountain view — a beautiful place to enjoy the sunset.
Flat-screen TVs are located in all bedrooms, as well as the office and game room.
Game Room, Fitness & Indoor Fun
The lower level is built for fun and relaxation. Guests can enjoy a slate pool table, poker table, foosball table, home gym, and a comfortable game-room setting designed for friendly competition and family time. Whether you are spending a rainy afternoon inside, winding down after dinner, or giving different generations their own space to spread out, the lower level adds tremendous value to the stay.
Outdoor Spaces & Big Mountain Views
Rich Mountain Majesty was designed to bring the outdoors into every part of the experience. Large windows throughout the home keep the mountain setting in view, while multiple outdoor spaces give guests room to relax, gather, and enjoy the property.
The lodge features spacious wraparound decks on two levels, comfortable outdoor seating, a gas grill, outdoor wood-burning fireplace, porch swing, balcony, and a fire pit. The grounds are professionally landscaped with native mountain flora, including mountain laurel and rhododendron that bring seasonal color in spring and early summer.
The surrounding neighborhood is well-kept and ideal for walking, running, biking, and enjoying the ridgeline setting. Choose an easy paved walk or a hillier route for more of a workout. For guests who love being active outdoors, this location offers access to hiking, biking, scenic drives, and mountain adventure in every direction.
Fast Internet & Easy Connectivity
Rich Mountain Majesty offers a fast 500 Mbps fiber optic internet connection, making it easy to stay connected while on vacation — or choose not to. The home can support multiple devices, Zoom calls, remote work, streaming, and homeschool programs at the same time. Verizon and AT&T cell service are also strong at the property.
