Crowned atop its own private mountain in the North Georgia Mountains, this legacy property spans over 1,100+/- acres along a prominent ridgeline at approximately 1,800 feet in elevation, overlooking a private valley, lake and rolling pastures below. Three waterfalls, an 8+/- acre lake, a wide creek, mature hardwood timber and an extensive trail network make the estate a world unto itself rather than simply a residence. Beyond a gated entrance, a mile-long private drive winds up the mountain, delivering a sense of arrival defined by complete privacy and sweeping panoramic views. Its position just minutes from Habersham County Airport adds a rare level of convenience for private aviation.
The sale is handled by Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty, an agency known for representing distinguished residential properties across the region.
A Mountaintop Setting Built for Privacy and Function
The estate balances dramatic natural scenery with thoughtful, working infrastructure that supports a true legacy way of living.
Land, Water and Sweeping Views
Positioned along a ridgeline at roughly 1,800 feet in elevation, the property overlooks its own valley, 8+/- acre lake and rolling pastures.
Three waterfalls, a wide and gently flowing creek, mature hardwood timber, and an extensive network of trails define the landscape, while the mile-long private drive ensures complete seclusion and panoramic outlooks throughout.
Working Estate and Supporting Structures
The grounds are improved for both lifestyle and function. A custom Sand Creek Post and Beam barn offers four stalls, a lofted living space, a kitchenette, a half bath and laundry hookups. Overlooking the lake, a two-bedroom, two-bath caretaker’s cottage is complemented by an orchard, a garden and a collection of supporting structures, including an equipment barn, a larger equipment and storage barn and several century-old livestock and hay barns that add both utility and a sense of legacy.
A Main Residence of Craftsmanship and Scale
Inside the home, refined modern finishes meet enduring rustic architecture across generously proportioned living spaces.
Distinguished Interiors
Custom-built by Richard Padgham, with architectural design by Moon Brothers Architects and interiors by William Stewart, the main residence blends timeless Colorado Rustic architecture with refined modern finishes.
The great room serves as an architectural centerpiece, framed by long-range mountain views, with wide-plank black walnut flooring, a soaring 24-foot vaulted ceiling anchored by hand-cut Douglas fir trusses, and one of six stone fireplaces. The gourmet kitchen features custom cabinetry, Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, an oversized island, leathered granite countertops, radiant-heated stone floors and a walk-in pantry.
The owner’s wing forms a private retreat with a fireside bedroom, sitting room, spa-inspired bath, custom closets, a private balcony and a dedicated office, while three junior suites with private baths open onto a gallery-style second-level balcony.
Resort-Style Outdoor Living
Outdoor living rivals that of a private resort. Multiple gathering spaces, a fireside outdoor living area and an infinity-edge pool overlook the surrounding mountain landscape. A fully integrated outdoor culinary space with built-in grilling, refrigeration and bar seating extends the home’s entertaining areas into the landscape. Further features include an oversized three-car garage with slate flooring, a temperature-controlled potting room, a greenhouse, raised planting beds and meticulously curated grounds offering year-round color and texture.
A Rare and Irreplaceable Offering
This is a rare offering where craftsmanship, scale and natural beauty converge in a setting that is at once hidden and accessible. With more than 1,100+/- acres, a custom main residence, and a fully equipped working estate just minutes from private aviation access, the property suits buyers seeking privacy, recreation and a genuine generational retreat in the North Georgia Mountains.
