CHEROKEE COUNTY 19.9 ACRE COUNTRY ESTATE/HORSE FARM!! Nestled in the heart of Cherokee County, East Cherokee, just off 140 and close-in to Northside Hospital, Downtown Canton, and a quick drive to Alpharetta/Milton, is this dream-like 19.99 acre Texas-Hill Country inspired home offers luxury horse facilities, a resort-like heated pool framed by a stone oasis, level, fenced beautiful pasture (complete with a creek and framed wood-line privacy), and private acreage featuring vineyards, curated vegetable gardens, a smokehouse, a cabin, and rolling pastures of greenspace. From the timber-framed entrance welcoming you home, this property is a rare offering for buyers seeking a luxury acreage property in North Ga that offers privacy, beauty and architectural distinction, so "tucked away" on a back road, yet so close-in to all that Canton has to offer. Designed for entertaining as well as relaxed every day living, the custom residence features intentional curated rustic touches authentic to Hill-Country Texas-style, complete with outdoor loggias with fireplaces, stone and stucco elements, stamped art in outdoor concrete flooring, Texas-tall 11 foot ceilings on the terrace level, graceful arched entrances, and indoor-outdoor living spaces. The ranch-style primary level features 4 bedrooms with 3 baths, rugged hickory flooring, new appliances, and a relaxed spatial flow; meanwhile the terrace level charms as an amazing entertaining space featuring a custom bar, custom designed built in cabinetry in media area, billiards and game room, full living/dining with stone fireplace, a private guest bedroom and spa-like full bath, all opening to lower-level loggia with fireplace and resort-style pool area. Equestrian-enthusiasts will revel in the horse amenities that include a custom-designed 5 stall barn with loads of tongue and groove, custom-curated stall fronts with archways, a heated and cooled laundry, dog wash and tack room, and all the elevated creature-comforts possible (stall fans, lovely matting) for any pampered pony, show horse, or pet. There is a well-sanded and well-drained arena with kick-walls, 440 fence in front pastures, pastures with water, a separate well, and plenty places to ride on back property. A massive 4000 sft shop with 4 roll-up doors exists closer to front of property, with an attached metal pole barn complete with 50amp RV hookup and adequate elevation for any class A vehicle, trailer, boat, or RV. The private rolling pastures are accessed by an easy drive or walk toward back of property, completely fenced and graced by a creek, where the cabin, vineyards, gardens, and smokehouse are located. Zoned as (tax-preferred) conservation use, the grounds are beautiful, private and peaceful, with potential for a future (family) residence build, as pristine pasture for horses, or for entertaining outdoors. These private acres create a priceless feeling of peace, quiet and a deep connection to the land, a personal sanctuary separate from the stress of everyday living. For those seeking a lifestyle centered around the outdoors, natural beauty, a home with architectural character and Texas charm, yet all the conveniences and the great location of East Cherokee, this uniquely beautiful 20-acre private estate will captivate their hearts.
