Description

Introducing a rare opportunity to build a fully customized luxury estate on a private 1.49-acre wooded, level lot within an elite gated golf community featuring a celebrated Rees Jones-designed 18-hole championship course known for its legendary back nine. With only 110 architecturally distinctive residences, this enclave is defined by privacy, artisan craftsmanship, and estate-level living - all while benefiting from low Cherokee County property taxes and reasonably low HOA dues for a prestigious golf course community. As you enter, a dramatic 24-foot grand foyer unfolds into an equally impressive 24-foot great room, immediately establishing scale and sophistication. A striking porcelain slab feature wall with a 60-inch linear gas fireplace sets the tone for the space. Expansive walls of glass and aluminum accordion-style doors open seamlessly to a covered loggia with fireplace and optional surround sound, creating a true indoor-outdoor luxury lifestyle. The expansive, private backyard offers ideal conditions for a future resort-style pool and outdoor kitchen, allowing the next owner to design a customized outdoor retreat. Wide-plank white oak engineered hardwood flooring flows throughout the main level, enhancing warmth and continuity. The chef's kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring custom European cabinetry, fully paneled appliances for a seamless integrated design, a dramatic 12-foot by 5-foot island, and a professional-grade 48-inch gas range with integrated pot filler. Quartzite countertop allowances elevate the finish level. The adjacent breakfast room showcases 15-foot vaulted ceilings and a built-in wet bar, creating a natural gathering space. A discreet hidden door leads from the mudroom into a fully equipped prep kitchen with its own 8-foot island and 36-inch gas range for seamless entertaining. The formal dining room includes a built-in dry bar, while the main-level powder room features a floating vanity, cabinet lighting, and a bidet toilet, reflecting elevated attention to detail. The main-level owner's suite is a private sanctuary highlighted by 17-foot vaulted ceilings, a linear fireplace, and access to a covered balcony overlooking the backyard. The spa-inspired bath offers a seven-foot walk-in shower with full tile surround and frameless glass enclosure, plus the option for a dramatic seven-foot freestanding soaking tub. Dual water closets, dual vanities, and an expansive walk-in closet with center island complete the suite, with laundry access on both floors. Every secondary bedroom is designed as a private en suite with oversized custom walk-in closets. Above the garage, an attached private guest residence with its own separate entrance functions as an in-law suite, au pair quarters, or executive retreat - essentially a private wing within the estate. The unfinished terrace level allows for a bespoke lower level design, whether a home theater, golf simulator, wellness spa, or wine lounge. An elevator shaft is pre-planned for future installation. This energy-efficient estate includes two tankless gas water heaters and EV charging capability in all four garage bays. Residents enjoy championship golf and secure gated entry, all just minutes from Avalon and Halcyon with convenient access to GA-400. With plans approved and ground breaking imminent, this is the ideal time to personalize structural selections and luxury finishes creating a custom legacy estate within one of Alpharetta's most prestigious golf communities.
