This kennel/home combo is a charmer.  From the time you pass through the gate at the foot of the drive and wind up the gravel drive through the woods the peace envelopes you.  Home and kennel do not share a main drive so it is easy to separate the two in the operation of the kennel.  Large parking area for easy access by customers and vendors, exceptionally well fenced and cross fenced.

Kennel features 48 large indoor runs, 24 of which are connected by guillotine doors.  Wide aisles and access doors make taking the dogs outdoors into large grassed paddocks a breeze.  The reception area features a small retail space, direct access to the cat room without going into the dog area.  The cat room has separate spaces for 18 cats or cat pairs. There is also a small lanai for the cats to enjoy the outdoors safely confined; they love to lounge in the sun.  The kennel kitchen is oversized and could easily be adapted to other uses.  It runs across the entire back of the building with doors to each section and to the outside.  Four separate heat and air units keep everything comfortable and can be turned off independently depending on occupancy level.  One really important feature of this kennel is the exceptionally good cross fencing.  Every area is separately fenced to minimize any possibility of accident.  It is evident that the owner is a real dog person.

The grooming building is across a courtyard from the kennel.  20 outdoor only runs, on concrete, adjoin both the kennel building and the grooming building.  Grooming building can be accessed without going into the main kennel, thereby assisting in keeping a quiet and serene facility. Room for three tables plus cage drying. Run drying in the adjacent outdoor runs is possible in the mild Georgia weather.  Adjoining this building is a small storage building.

Through another gate and you are in the house back yard.  Fenced of course.  There are lovely trees and perennials everywhere.  The house is a farmhouse with charm galore.  Knotty pine walls in most of the house and wood ceilings also. Brand new central heat and air plus a woodstove in the family room.  Two bedrooms with en suite baths, a small office or third bedroom.  Down a short hall is the dog room and laundry.  All of us know how important it is to have a dog room with outside access.  The kitchen is large and recently updated, new counter tops, new appliances.  Wonderful screened porch is off the dining area, what a lovely place to lounge and overlook the pasture. Living room and sun room feature glass doors to maximize light. Current package is with approximately 4 ½ acres, another 8 can be bought separately.

There are two barns and another small outbuilding.  Location is in the north Georgia mountains but only a few minutes from Atlanta.  People like bringing their dogs to enjoy a stay in the fresh mountain air and enjoy the trees, grass, and woodsy atmosphere. Well established business.
