At 100 Garrett Lane in Carrollton, Georgia along the Tallapoosa River sits a home without peer. This nearly indescribable estate spans over 42 acres and consists of three creeks, numerous pastures, miles of trails and two wells. Anyone who loves the outdoors could easily spend the rest of their days hunting, fishing and exploring on this land and never get bored. And when you do get tired and are ready to retreat from the elements, the perfect four-bedroom cedar farm house will always be waiting to welcome you.
On a random winter’s night, you may arrive at your doorstep and enter into the foyer inlaid with 18th Century tile recouped from a French Monastery. Continuing on the footpath, your feet will be happily reunited with the heart of pine hardwood floors that cover the main level of this home. You’ll probably want to warm up and head towards the stacked-stone 20-foot hearth that goes all the way up to wainscot cathedral ceiling.
Unfinished beams and natural tree limbs in the banisters are integrated into the design, an homage the land that made this home. In fact, many of the materials used in the construction of this home are reclaimed from historic edifices. For example, the beams and hardware in the great room were salvaged and re-purposed from a 100-year-old textile mill.
On a hot summer day, you might come through the front door and head straight for the open-air kitchen for an ice cold glass of water. This is where you will prepare your dinner amid gorgeous architectural details like granite countertops and wainscot cabinetry and ceiling treatments.
A sun-lit dining space sits off of the kitchen and seems to hang over the tree tops. A stacked-stone accent wall and floor-to-ceiling bay windows work together flawlessly to set a relaxing and Zen-inspired setting. Food just tastes better when you enjoy your meals while looking out across the vast view of your own land. An eclectic mixture of natural elements, textures and materials placed perfectly throughout the main level living spaces tie all the rooms together to create a unified and balanced environment.
The main level master bedroom is marked with its own unique style of details beginning with a step-down entrance, creative wainscot treatment across the cathedral ceiling and an adjacent patio. The master bath is exquisitely impressive with plenty of room to get cozy after a long day out by the pool. An oversized glass shower, soaking tub and dual sinks and vanities set in gorgeous tile sit around the French doors that lead to the master walk-in closet.
Other interior spaces offer unique and unforgettable experiences as well. A bird’s nest bedroom sits upstairs adorned with wainscot wall treatments, geometric ceiling lines, poplar hardwood floors and plantation shutters. However, the most distinctive feature of this room is the enclosed sun porch that offers a lighthouse-style view of the lake below through pentagonal window panes. Reminiscent of a New England beach cottage, this room is just one of the many charming spaces within this truly original farmhouse. The finished terrace level is not surprisingly just as gorgeous as the upper levels, and it serves as the access point to the sparkling blue lakeside pool and backyard.
For a homebuyer looking for a substantial amount of land, a little peace and quiet and an abundance of luxury, the perfect summer retreat or year-round residence is only one hour from Atlanta. Welcome to the 42+/- acre estate at 100 Garrett Lane in Carrollton, Georgia.
