Behind the white fence is your retreat from the world on over 80 acres of pristine land. The rolling pastures are divided by tree lined streams. The water is “deep well” fresh, the air is clear and the stars are bright, and the sunsets over the mountains defy adequate description. Take in the mountain vistas, the rolling pastures of green, and the simple tranquility of this home with high ceilings, plank floors, and stunning views from every window.
The house’s design was inspired by the charm of English cottages and the sophistication of English country manors. With chimney’s rising forty feet, the steeply pitched roof covers uniquely appointed rooms. Ivy creeps up the garden walls, while gas scones light and romance the patio and massive cathedral-shaped entrance door.
Inside, plank floors, high ceilings, easement windows and elegant moldings are consistent throughout. A grand living room with stained wood ceilings is divided by French doors on the opposite wall. At one end, the seating area focuses around an Irish built mantel that wraps a large fireplace.
Brick arches lead to a butler’s pantry in route to the kitchen and dining area. The kitchen is a gourmet’s delight, featuring a double-oven gas range with stainless hood. Counter space is abundant. French glass panels sit atop the counter dividing it from the spacious dining area. Designed to have the feel of a library, book cases wrap windows on each end of the dining room. A large bay window frames a view of the surrounding mountains. Again, step out to a patio and enjoy your dining experience.
Upstairs, the master suite has a cathedral ceiling with large beams at the top. French doors create a wall of glass that looks out onto a balcony. With windows on either side of the room, you can view the land and mountains by day, the moon and stars at night. A third-floor exercise loft looks out over the room
Create your own space in this den with a rustic stacked stone fireplace and ample natural light. Think of it as a “cowboy” study or extra bedroom.
A replica of an old carriage house, the guest house is a perfect addition to the English mood. Guests will enjoy staying in the loft above the garage which is finished with a vaulted ceiling and small kitchen and features incredible mountain views as well.
This estate is truly one of a kind and less than 45 miles from Atlanta. Zip-in and zip-out by adding your own helicopter pad. Take a stroll around the grounds and escape into nature either on weekend or permanently!
