Own your own piece of peaceful countryside with the opportunity for $0 down financing! Making this brand new home not only beautiful, but incredibly attainable. Nestled on 1.75 acres in a scenic stretch of Elbert Co., this property offers the kind of lifestyle people are searching for but rarely find, privacy, open space, and the freedom to truly unwind. Surrounded by pastureland and mature trees, you'll wake up to still mornings, enjoy coffee on your back deck overlooking pastures and a pond and end your days with quiet sunsets that feel miles away from the noise of everyday life. Yet you're still conveniently located just minutes from Elberton and a short drive to Hartwell, Athens and Anderson. With easy access to outdoor destinations like Bobby Brown State Park, Richard B. Russell State Park and Clarks Hill. The home itself is brand new construction and far from your typical mobile home, thoughtfully designed with farmhouse style and modern finishes throughout. The open concept layout creates a natural flow for both everyday living and entertaining, anchored by a spacious kitchen featuring a large island with lots of storage, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and a farmhouse sink perfectly positioned to overlook the brand new back deck. Just off the kitchen is a walk-in pantry with a farmhouse-style door, along with a functional mudroom for everyday convenience. The living room includes custom built-in cabinetry for the TV, and throughout the entire home you'll find soft-toned hardwood-style flooring with no carpet & real sheetrock walls that give the home a more traditional, custom-built feel. All bedrooms are oversized with large closets, while the primary suite offers a true retreat with a spa-like bathroom featuring double vanities, a floor to ceiling tiled super shower and large garden tub. Outside, the land is open, usable and private with endless possibilities whether you envision adding a shop, a garden, or simply enjoying the space as it is.

5 Beds 3 Baths 10773144 MLS
Nestled in the rolling hills of Elberton, this extraordinary private estate offers a rare blend of craftsmanship, natural beauty, tranquility, and convenience. Located just five minutes from schools, shopping, dining, and everyday essentials, the property feels worlds away while remaining remarkably accessible. With virtually no through traffic, the home enjoys exceptional privacy and quiet. The 1.53-acre homesite is further enhanced by more than 20 acres of undeveloped wooded land behind the property, creating a serene and protected setting. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with mature rhododendrons providing natural screening, along with seven varieties of camellias, Japanese maples, and stunning oakleaf hydrangeas offering year-round color and texture. Expansive decks, overlooks, winding walkways, a gazebo, annual gardens, and two greenhouses create an outdoor environment deeply connected to nature. Built in 1964 by respected builder Dallas Suttles, the home reflects enduring quality, solid construction, and exceptional craftsmanship throughout. Inside, warm and inviting living spaces are filled with natural light and architectural character. Two remarkable sunrooms serve as focal points of the home: The first sunroom adjoins the kitchen and features tile floors, floor-to-ceiling east-facing windows, and a retractable awning that welcomes soft morning light. The second is a spectacular conservatory-style living space designed for year-round enjoyment, featuring 15-foot cathedral ceilings, exposed heart pine beams, green slate floors, and oversized 9' x 5' tinted, polarized, argon-filled, bullet-resistant windows. Ideal for indoor gardening, plant cultivation, or peaceful everyday living, this room is truly one of a kind. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with generous counter space, a prep island, dishwasher, disposal sink, and separate pantry storage. Nearby, the formal dining room features abundant windows, marble floors, and an elegant chandelier suited for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. A welcoming foyer leads into the formal living room, one of the home's most comfortable spaces, offering western views over flowering gardens and lush zoysia lawns. Two separate staircases access the upper level, which includes two bedrooms, a full bath, a hall library, and a spacious playroom or media room above the kitchen and sunroom. French doors open to a charming bump-out sitting area overlooking the rear property. Throughout the home, numerous built-ins, hidden storage spaces, under-stair compartments, and custom details add both charm and functionality, including a distinguished study with floor-to-ceiling bookcases and built-in desks. Separate from the main residence is an extraordinary 24' x 40' guest apartment and workshop - a property unto itself. Fully heated and air-conditioned, with a self-contained Amish-built stove, the upper-level living space includes a kitchenette, full bath, and remarkable craftsmanship throughout. The handcrafted heart pine floors were created using 11-inch-wide, 16-foot-long boards, each one inch thick and individually glued, screwed, and doweled into heavy joists below using more than 5,000 screws by master craftsman Joey Gilmore. Walls and ceilings were constructed using reclaimed beams from the historic Bowman rail depot, a century-old structure whose materials were salvaged in the 1990s. Below, the massive workshop features 12-inch cinder block walls atop a reinforced five-inch concrete foundation with waterproofing and French drains. Supported by a single iron post and substantial 12-inch I-beam, the structure offers exceptional durability and serves as an outstanding storm shelter. With no HOA restrictions, the estate remains naturally protected, remarkably private, and uniquely difficult to replicate today. More than a home, this is a handcrafted retreat rich in history, character, privacy, and enduring quality!
