Step into your dream come true! From the moment you set eyes on this property, the magic begins! Gorgeous custom features throughout this one-of-a-kind fairy tale property include hand-hewn front doors and custom millwork throughout, custom finished long board oak floors, custom cabinetry, hand-carved Italian marble fireplace surround and mantel, beautiful cypress millwork on porches, Isokern masonry fireplace, natural travertine stonework, custom-made brick and architectural landscape design with irrigation system. These are only a few of the myriad custom details you will discover! Situated on the edge of a fully stocked 2-acre spring fed pond, the house stands ready to welcome and embrace your family and friends with good times and great memories. On the main floor, a modern floorplan allows great sightlines and openness for family togetherness, but also makes room for cozy areas to retreat to for some down-time. In the main floor kitchen, light and bright is the key with custom cabinetry for storing and hiding EVERYTHING except the stars of the show! Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and a sleek custom crafted stainless vent hood, along with the enormous quartz waterfall island make mealtime an absolute pleasure! Enjoy your morning coffee on the screened porch or the travertine veranda overlooking the pond. Upstairs, relaxation awaits in the owner’s suite with balcony view of the pond and back yard, soaring barrel ceiling, custom double closets, double vanities, tub with a view of the beautiful barn (more on that later!) and large walk-in shower. You’ll find sanctuary from the maddening world! On the other side of the stairs, there are two more good sized bedrooms and a shared bath. One of the laundry rooms is located upstairs, as well, with custom cabinets, chandeliers, and another beautiful view of the pond –laundry has never been more glamorous!! Travel down the generous staircase to the terrace level, and you will find another bedroom and bath, along with a full kitchen and ample living and dining space which makes for a perfect guest space, or multi-generational living situation. The terrace level outdoor area is sheltered from the elements and offers a tucked-away spot to enjoy the peaceful natural surroundings. Join the geese and herons fishing the pond! You will also find a light-filled exercise room (or studio, or gameroom, or convert to another bedroom). Animal lover? Ask about the doggie spa with bathing station and separate laundry. Now, back to that barn! Your horses will live as well as you do in this custom designed and built cedar barn with three run-in stalls, automatic trough, and wash bay. Barn includes a bathroom, climate-controlled tack room, storage room and huge hay loft. Separate pole barn and four board fencing in pastures round out the lovely amenities your horses will enjoy. Plenty of space for trailers. No animals? Convert the barn to a workshop, guesthouse, or small event venue. Two parcels compose just over thirteen acres in this tranquil setting just 15 minutes to Athens, or up to I-85. Prime Jackson county location near Bear Creek Reservoir. Dreams really do come true!
