Craftsman, Traditional, Other

There are homes that impress, and then there are homes that speak. This one doesn’t raise its voice. It doesn’t have to. It welcomes you with quiet confidence, the kind that only comes from craftsmanship, intention, and soul. Tucked within a peaceful enclave of custom-built homes, this refined estate rests gracefully on nearly four private acres with a fully stocked lake glistening just beyond the back porch. The sound of nature replaces the noise of traffic. The air feels lighter here, as if life slows down the moment you turn into the drive. The rocking-chair front porch nods to timeless Southern charm and opens to an interior defined by warmth, light, and texture. Cathedral ceilings soar above massive wood beams while floor-to-ceiling windows capture serene views of the lake and landscape. A stacked-stone fireplace anchors the living room, flanked by built-in bookcases that whisper stories of cozy evenings and connection. This is where elegance meets ease, where you can host a holiday gathering one night and sip coffee by the fire the next morning in peace. The heart of the home is the chef’s kitchen, designed for those who love to cook and connect with others. A 5x7 island doubles as prep space and conversation hub, while premium Wolf appliances deliver professional performance. Travertine flooring, undercabinet lighting, soft-close drawers, and thoughtful storage add both function and beauty. Two outdoor living areas extend the experience, one a grill porch for alfresco dining, the other a sweeping back porch with panoramic lake views. The main-level primary suite is a sanctuary of light and calm with hardwood floors, custom trim, and direct porch access for quiet mornings and sunsets. The spa-like bath features a jetted soaking tub framed by lake views, dual vanities, and a walk-in shower that feels like a retreat. Remote-controlled blinds add comfort and privacy, while the custom closet offers refined organization. Also on the main floor: a guest bath, laundry/mudroom, and a dedicated office with beveled French doors, a built in and inspiring views. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms and two full baths provide a thoughtful separation of space, perfect for family or guests. The fifth bedroom offers incredible flexibility, ideal for a teen suite, hobby studio, or media room. The finished terrace level continues the home’s craftsmanship with a wet bar, stacked-stone fireplace, entertainment areas, safe room, bedroom, and full bath. Bright by day and inviting by night, it opens to a flagstone patio and firepit overlooking the water, perfect for evenings under the stars. Step outside, and it feels like stepping into a storybook. The private lake, stocked with bass, grass carp, and bluegill, glimmers like glass. The owners have enhanced every inch of the property, clearing trees for views, rerouting drainage, extending the driveway, adding topsoil, and laying 35 pallets of Zoysia sod. Stamped concrete walkways, flagstone paths, irrigation, and fencing complete the landscape. A storage room beneath the porch doubles as a workshop or lawn maintenance garage. Every upgrade blends beauty with practicality: gutter guards, blown insulation, granite counters, lead-coated windows, and a whole-house speaker system. With its stunning lake backdrop, open lawns, and timeless lodge aesthetic, the property also serves as an ideal setting for parties and large get-togethers. Just 10 minutes from downtown Ball Ground and 15 minutes from shopping and dining, the location offers the best of both worlds, modern convenience wrapped in country calm. Add in Cherokee County’s low taxes, strong schools, and reputation for peace and privacy, and you’ll understand why this area is one of North Georgia’s most sought-after luxury enclaves. A home where craftsmanship, comfort, and connection come together, and where every detail feels like it was designed to be exactly, beautifully, here.
