A rare opportunity to live just five minutes from downtown Ball Ground while enjoying approximately 9 acres of scenic rural surroundings. On this side of town, the drive gives way to rolling land, mature trees, and open views—yet I-575 remains convenient. With no HOA, the property offers room to enjoy a quieter pace of life close to downtown shops and dining. Inside, the updated farmhouse kitchen brings people together with white cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, built-in oven, stainless steel appliances, tile backsplash, generous workspace, and an island with seating. The adjoining dining area opens to the deck, making it easy to carry a meal or a gathering outdoors. The renovated bathrooms bring a spa-like feel to everyday routines. Glass-enclosed, tiled showers add a fresh finish to both spaces, while one bathroom also features a freestanding soaking tub and double vanity. Bright gathering rooms and the split-level layout provide space to spread out; the additional lower-level area offers possibilities for a home office, hobbies, or multigenerational living. Outside, grassy areas, mature trees, fencing, and a utility barn add to the possibilities. The utility barn adds flexibility for a workshop or equipment storage, with potential for boat or RV storage or future stalls. Buyers are encouraged to verify property details and confirm that their intended uses meet applicable requirements.
