The majestic North Georgia Mountains seem to hug this 10+/- acre property for sale in Dahlonega, Georgia. Soft colors in the wide sky inspire and calm the soul, while the acres of mature hardwoods and professional landscaping provide privacy. The golden opportunity to purchase a mountain home, be it a second home or your primary, is available now at the home for sale at 956 McDonald Road.
The Boral wood mold brick home has a striking presence, and it is no wonder since it is a customized Southern Living “Centennial” floor plan. Features of this exclusive design exude welcome and warmth, including the beautiful veranda, a brick porte-cochere, strong white columns, a deep front porch, and handmade copper Bevolo gas lanterns. When you look at this home in the evening light, you will love the soft glow emanating from the interior rooms.
Inside the 6,610+/- sq. ft. home, genteel details begin to unfold in the grand foyer, including a soaring staircase and crystal chandelier. Arched doorways lead to impressive formal and casual rooms including a banquet size dining room, small niches perfect for prized art and furniture and a fireside family room. The paneled study with a brick fireplace has French doors opening to a small side porch. Impeccable hardwood floors are throughout this level and are complemented with heavy moldings.
The backyard and wooded views of this property are ideal from the chef’s kitchen and breakfast room. This space is perfect for preparing food for a crowd! There is a huge pantry, beautiful Corian counters, a central island with bar seating and pickled oak cabinets, including a very Southern plate rack and glass door cabinets. The icing on the cake is a Thermador five-burner gas cooktop and a double oven.
The master bedroom benefits from all the best features of the mountain lifestyle. The large windows allow for endless vistas; there is a private porch and his and her walk-in closets. Also upstairs are three large bedrooms, each with walk in closets and private bathrooms — one with a steam shower.
The daylight terrace level is the perfect location for entertaining, especially on winter days. It has a bedroom, full finished bathroom and over a third of the space is finished with drywall and crown molding. This level walks out onto the flat backyard that is the perfect size for a swimming pool.
If you are thinking about practicalities, like storage, the attic has more than 1,000+/- square feet of space, there is a two-car garage and a pole barn. The private well provides utility cost savings. And, if it crossed your mind that you might enjoy even more room, there is an additional 50+/- acres available for sale.
Dahlonega is a perfect place to live. It is just far enough away from Atlanta to be a retreat but close enough that the South’s best city is accessible. Activities special to this area include hiking, perusing boutiques, sampling wines in the local vineyards or even just a relaxing country drive. But remember, those porches, those views and that peace and quiet awaits you in this lovely home for sale.
