A Car Collector's Dream Estate unlike anything available in North Georgia. Set on 15.43 gated, professionally landscaped acres, this private compound was completed in 2016, designed for nature lovers, entertaining, auto enthusiasts, multi-generational living, and recreation. With about 30 car and covered vehicle spaces across the estate, the centerpiece is an approximately 7,500 square foot climate-controlled collector's garage with 18 car capacity, RV storage, auto lift, workshop, office, air compressor, car wash bay, and a two bedroom apartment above. The custom ranch style smart home wraps around a screened resort style pool courtyard, offering roughly 8,000 square feet on the main level plus 6,000 finished on the terrace level. The home offers 6 bedrooms, 6 full baths, and 2 half baths, with four bedrooms on the main level including two primary suites Much of the home's wood, including the flooring, was milled on site from timber harvested on the property. Custom cabinetry and built ins, 8 foot solid alder doors, 10 foot plus ceilings, central vacuum, Control4 automation, and 200+ programmable lights run throughout. The chef's kitchen was built for entertaining, with a massive center island, walk in pantry, Wolf cooktop with griddle, Wolf oven, steam oven, warming drawer, and Sub Zero 48-inch refrigerator and freezer. The vaulted great room features whitewashed tongue and groove ceilings, a floor to ceiling masonry fireplace, integrated elevator to bring wood up from the basement, and wall to wall sliding glass doors opening to a four seasons room with its own stone fireplace, Fire Magic grill, Green Egg, pizza oven, and commercial exhaust, framed by walls of glass overlooking the pool. The primary suite offers automatic shades and a spa inspired bath with freestanding soaking tub, dual vanities, multi head shower, separate steam shower, and a custom closet with hidden access to the safe room. The screened saltwater pool and spa features a waterfall spilling into a 12+ seating hot tub, an automatic retractable cover, self-cleaning jets, LED lighting, and covered outdoor entertaining space. The terrace level adds a nostalgic game room with vintage wet bar, pool table, shuffleboard, and pinball, a fitness room, additional bedrooms, multi-car terrace garage, and a reinforced bunker-style safe room with sleeping quarters, full kitchen, full bath, hidden access points, and turret observation rooms. Additional accommodations include a log cabin overlooking a picturesque stocked pond with a fish cleaning station. The cabin includes a bedroom plu loft, kitchen, living room, full bath, wraparound porch, boardwalk, and timber frame pavilion, plus a separate timber frame stone garage. The grounds are a destination. A gated entrance with remote camera access opens to a drive past timber frame display buildings, a spring fed pond with a 40-foot bridge, and a vintage Texaco gas station, with landscape lighting, cleared trails, multiple stocked ponds, and timber frame pavilions throughout. A golf course style irrigation system with 50+ zones serves the grounds from the private well. Further improvements include a 4,000 square foot western themed equipment barn set up as a working mill with sawmill and wood drying kiln, plus another 4,000 square feet of covered storage, treehouse, a chicken coop, livestock barn, garden shed, and donkey barn. Estate infrastructure includes 600 amp service, automatic backup generators, solar power system, four dual fuel HVAC systems, whole house water purification, an 800 foot deep well with county water backup, hot water recirculation pump, underground propane, and full spray foam insulation. Remarkably private yet convenient, the estate sits 5 minutes from Publix and everyday conveniences, roughly 20 minutes from GA 400, I 575, Halcyon, Downtown Milton, and Avalon Alpharetta. A truly irreplaceable 15+ acre legacy property combining luxury, privacy, recreation, and unmatched space for collectors.

Agricultural District
Land designated as agricultural constitutes a valuable natural resource whose protection is in the public interest. The agricultural district is established to maintain those areas with land characteristics such as soil moisture, temperature and content suitable for farming (fields, pastures, farmsteads, specialty farms), dairy, livestock, forestry operations and other agricultural activities; to protect land used or needed for food production and other agricultural uses from encroachment by untimely and unplanned residential, commercial or industrial development; and to permit the continuation of agricultural uses in areas where it remains viable.; The agricultural district is intended to provide for the continuation of agriculture as a viable land use and component of the local economy until market conditions and public services support conversion of agricultural land to rural or suburban residential land subdivisions and uses, or other uses. The agricultural district also helps to preserve the rural, open space character that exists in many portions of the county. Such areas are accessed only by rural roads, do not have existing public sanitary sewerage facilities, are predominantly rural in character, and consist substantially of larger unsubdivided and undeveloped tracts.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
