Looking for greener pastures? You won’t have to travel far to find it. Located approximately 30 minutes south of Atlanta on I-75, sits a picturesque 21+/- acre estate in Henry County. Near the quaint town of McDonough, this property provides the space and privacy that comes with country living without sacrificing convenience. With sweeping green pastures and large wooded areas, you will be ready to trade in your big city views for the peace and solitude of this picture-perfect property.
The crown jewel of the estate is a beautiful white modern farmhouse. Perched on top of a small hill, this fabulous one-hundred-year-old home has been updated in a modern traditional design with a cozy farmhouse aesthetic creating light, bright spaces that are loaded with character and charm.
The rocking-chair porch welcomes guests in a true country style and the lovely foyer provides an inviting entryway with wide cased openings to the living and dining rooms. With hardwood floors, built-in bookcases and a stone fireplace, the living room offers a quiet, comfortable space for sitting by the fire and relaxing with a good book or listening to a favorite podcast. On the other side of the foyer is a formal dining room featuring double windows, pretty crown molding, hardwood floors and seating for at least six.
The country chic design of the eat-in kitchen integrates farmhouse decor with a clean, fresh palette. From the classic white cabinets and large island/breakfast bar to the sleek stainless steel appliances and stone countertops, this kitchen gives a nod to its historic roots without sacrificing function or modern amenities. There is also a big bay window that floods the room with gorgeous natural light and provides a nice spot for casual dining.
Open to the kitchen, the family room provides an expansive space for gathering and entertaining. The arched opening provides great flow and seamless transition between the rooms, while a wall of windows with double French doors and a vaulted wood ceiling give it a spacious and airy feel. A stacked stone fireplace and built-in bookshelves serve as a focal point, adding warmth and personality. It is a welcoming room that will draw you in and make you want to kick back and stay awhile.
A recent addition to the house includes an owner’s suite with a spacious walk-in closet and delightful shiplap bathroom featuring a separate shower, a soaking tub, double sinks and a closeted commode. This private retreat makes the perfect sanctuary to relax and recharge at the end of the day.
On the main level is also a guest room, a full bathroom and a large laundry/mudroom with desk space and loads of cabinets for extra storage.
The upper level offers generous-sized bedrooms, two additional bathrooms and a multi-purpose loft that is currently being used as an exercise room but could easily be used in a variety of ways.
Extend your living space outside under the partially covered deck. Complete with wooden beams and a stone fireplace this outdoor oasis provides an incredible space to spread out and enjoy the perks of country living. And when you want to sit out in the sun or under the stars, make your way down the steps to the large stone patio and firepit, a terrific spot for catching some rays or warming up on cool nights.
This outstanding property comes with a two-car garage, a tool shed, horse-ready stables, a covered area for equipment storage and four-board fencing throughout the pastures – providing virtually everything you need to enjoy this fabulous property.
