Tucked away on 16 private, gated acres in the foothills of North Georgia, this one-of-a-kind estate offers the perfect blend of luxury, functionality, and peaceful country living. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be captivated by the beautifully landscaped grounds, inviting screened front porch, and serene wooded setting. Inside, the home is filled with timeless character and custom details including gorgeous hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, crown molding, wainscoting, custom built-in bookcases, and multiple fireplaces that create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The spacious main level features an oversized primary suite with a large walk-in closet and a beautifully updated en-suite bath complete with double vanities, stone countertops, and a tiled shower with bench seating. The updated eat-in kitchen showcases beautiful cabinetry, stone countertops, and backsplash, while the separate dining room with a wood-burning fireplace is perfect for entertaining. One of the home’s standout spaces is the incredible heated and cooled sunroom featuring stone floors and a tongue-and-groove cathedral ceiling, offering year-round enjoyment. The home also features a newer HVAC system replaced in 2021 and ductwork replaced in 2026 for added comfort and peace of mind. Upstairs you’ll find two generously sized bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath, while the finished terrace level offers exceptional flexibility with an additional bedroom, full bath, and full kitchen, ideal for an in-law suite, guest quarters, or teen retreat. A drive-under 3-car garage provides ample space for vehicles, storage, and equipment. Outdoor living is just as impressive with a large screened deck overlooking peaceful wooded views, a screened lower patio, two charming screened gazebos with swings, and endless space to explore. The property also includes two barns and two well-maintained former poultry houses no longer in use, one of which has already been repurposed into an expansive storage and utility space with partial asphalt flooring. Perfect for storing tractors, boats, side-by-sides, lawn equipment, or transforming into a barn for animals or hobby farm use, the possibilities are endless. A private well servicing the structure adds convenience and versatility. (Please note: the larger barn is currently considered a safety hazard and is in need of repair.) Located just minutes from Hwy 5 and I-575, this rare property offers privacy without sacrificing convenience. Situated near the charming town of Ball Ground, residents enjoy the best of small-town North Georgia living with locally owned restaurants, antique shops, wineries, parks, and a vibrant downtown atmosphere. Known for its scenic beauty, friendly community, and easy access to both the North Georgia mountains and metro Atlanta, Ball Ground continues to be one of Cherokee County’s most desirable hidden gems.
