Welcome to Maison Paradis! This French country chateau is a sprawling beauty, with over 8,000 square feet of interior living space, perfect for your next retreat. With six suites, each featuring their own luxurious bathrooms, and a half bathroom on each floor, this waterfront mansion is dog-friendly and in the heart of Dahlonega wine country, right on the Chestatee River.

The private estate features a variety of options for gathering areas, and is perfect for a multitude of special events. Event fee applies if we can accommodate your event. There are four separate dining areas (the largest seats 14), multiple living spaces and sitting areas on each floor. The upstairs entertainment area can also be used as a work area/conference room, with folding tables and chairs for use as needed.

This mansion features a well-equipped kitchen, wet bar, eight TVs, a sauna, and a pool table. Outside you can find a huge terrace with several seating areas, a fire pit, and a gas grill, and an expansive balcony above with a great river view.

The first section of the path to the river is quite steep but hiking poles are provided. About 550 feet from the house, you`ll find a small cabin near the river with extra chairs, good for changing or storing your gear, as well as a gazebo for a riverside picnic! This cabin is not for sleeping in. It has power but no water or bathroom. It may be difficult to bring your kayaks/canoes down. The Chestatee Shoals location offers great trout fishing.
