Built in 2023 and privately set behind a gated entrance, this Contemporary Craftsman with Rustic Charm sits on 17 unrestricted wooded acres in Talking Rock and features a ¼-mile paved driveway, underground power, and a creek on the back part of the gently rolling property that adds beauty and wildlife to the landscape. The 3,900-square-foot layout offers 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and the option to easily add a 5th bedroom on the terrace level. Inside, you'll find 10-foot ceilings on both the main and terrace levels, 8-foot solid doors throughout, and vaulted ceilings in the family room. Black-framed high-efficiency windows and 8-foot sliding glass doors on both levels bring in natural light and connect the home to the outdoors. The open-concept modern kitchen includes Thor appliances, quartz countertops, a hidden walk-in pantry, and custom cabinetry with soft-close drawers. The adjacent keeping room showcases a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with built-ins and floating shelves, while the oversized dining area provides wooded views and access to the expansive covered rear porch. The primary suite on the main level features a tray ceiling, walk-in closet, and spa-like bathroom with dual vanities, a quartz countertop, matte black fixtures, and an impressive walk-in shower with dual shower heads and a soaking tub. Each bedroom has its own full bathroom, and there are two laundry rooms—one on each level—for added convenience. The finished terrace level mirrors the quality of the main floor, offering two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a wet bar/kitchenette, a large living area, access to the lower patio, and space for a fifth bedroom if needed. A 240-square-foot poured concrete safe room with 12-inch-thick walls and ceiling provides exceptional security. The entire home is insulated with spray foam, and all exterior siding and trim are cement-based—no exterior wood other than tongue-and-groove porch ceilings and cedar columns—ensuring durability and low maintenance. Outside, a 25 x 40 insulated metal building with a 20-foot-high roll-up door and power offers flexible space for RV or equipment storage, a workshop, or recreational use. The land offers gently rolling topography, making it ideal for a small hobby farm or additional structures. Located just 12 minutes from Walmart and Ingles, 10 miles to both Downtown Ellijay and Downtown Jasper, and 25 miles to Downtown Blue Ridge, this home combines high-end new construction, acreage, and convenience in one exceptional North Georgia property.
