Welcome to a rare opportunity to own a private 2.06-acre estate featuring the highly sought-after combination of a prestigious Alpharetta address and lower Cherokee County taxes. Perfectly positioned near top-rated schools, premier shopping, fine dining, healthcare, and convenient access to GA-400, this exceptional property delivers the space, privacy, efficiency, and lifestyle that today’s discerning buyers are searching for. Solid oak hardwood flooring extends throughout the main and upper levels with absolutely no carpet, while the fully finished terrace level features premium waterproof luxury vinyl plank flooring, dedicated zoned HVAC, and exceptional flexibility for entertaining, recreation, fitness, guests, home office space, or multigenerational living.
The kitchen is designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining, featuring a dedicated coffee station, tile backsplash, stainless appliances and a vented range system that exhausts directly outdoors. Throughout the home, energy-efficient LED lighting, smart thermal management systems, and modern technology upgrades create a comfortable and efficient living experience.
Spacious owner’s suite is a true retreat, offering generous proportions, oversized walk-in closet, dedicated seasonal storage space rarely found in today’s homes.
Outdoor living is where this property truly separates itself. A custom 14’ x 23’ covered outdoor living deck overlooks the private backyard and provides the perfect setting for entertaining, outdoor dining, relaxing, or enjoying the surrounding natural beauty throughout the year. Below, an under-deck patio includes electrical service for a future hot tub installation, creating additional opportunities for outdoor enjoyment and expansion of the outdoor living space.
Beyond the deck, a stunning custom-built 6,500-gallon koi pond showcases extensive stonework, mature landscaping, and tranquil water features that create a resort-like setting just steps from your back door. A large fire pit gathering area provides additional space for family and friends to gather and enjoy the outdoors.
One of the property’s most unique features is direct access through a private rear gate to an expansive network of walking trails winding through acres of protected greenspace with a creek and wildlife. Enjoy morning walks, evening strolls, and the peace of knowing your backyard view is protected from future development. The extra-deep three-car garage offers abundant room for vehicles, recreational equipment, storage, workshop space, and hobbies.
