About This Home

As of July 2025

Private Luxury Lakefront Estate - Where Mountain Lodge Charm Meets Modern Grandeur. Prepare to be captivated from the moment you step inside this extraordinary lakefront sanctuary where the drama of 21-ft vaulted ceilings, with heavy timber trusses, tongue-and-groove pine ceilings, and walls of glass provide sweeping views of water and woods. Framed by a wooded 3-acre lot, this architectural gem blends the serenity of a mountain retreat with the comforts and sophistication of a luxury estate-level residence just minutes from Atlanta's city center, airport, and some of the South's most prestigious private schools. From the Vermont slate floors of the dramatic window-lined corridor to the exposed beams and stone columns throughout, every element of this home whispers comfort and quality. The sunroom, adorned with built-in bookcases, opens onto more than 2,000 sq ft of slate and stone terraces perfect for entertaining or simply soaking in the surrounding natural beauty. Natural light spills into every room through insulated 8-foot casement windows, framing picturesque views of the treetops and glimmering lake. The vaulted dining room is anchored by a one-of-a-kind 12-foot live-edge table, handcrafted and built into the space an iconic focal point that transforms gatherings into unforgettable moments. At the heart of the home is a stunning chef's kitchen that rivals any in function and design, featuring Viking double ovens and a professional 60" gas range with grill and griddle. A Viking built-in refrigerator/freezer, undercounter wine cooler, and separate bar sink provide effortless function. Deep 30" custom cabinetry offers 25% more storage than standard, while a 10' x 6' granite island makes this kitchen as beautiful as it is practical designed for connection, creativity, and culinary excellence. The owner's suite is a luxurious retreat, complete with entirely separate his-and-hers bathrooms and custom designed walk-in closets. Marble and travertine stone heated floors provide both elegance and comfort, while windows bathe the space in soft natural light. Two expansive guest suites, each over 360 sq ft, include private ensuite baths and large walk-in closets. One features a wraparound lakeview balcony perfect for morning coffee or quiet reflection. Downstairs, the terrace-level guest suite mirrors the scale and privacy of the others, ideal for multi-generational living or long-term guests. The Terrace level also includes a home theater with a kitchenette, a 2nd laundry room, and half bath, turning this space into a true entertainment wing. There is also a spacious, fully furnished Home Office. Behind the luxury lies unmatched substance. Built to commercial-grade standards, the home includes 2x8 and 2x6 framing, 5/8" drywall, and moisture-resistant wallboard throughout all baths. Over 15,000 sq ft of Tennessee stone veneer wraps both the interior and exterior. Towering two-story stone columns are wrapped around galvanized steel posts, ensuring strength and longevity to stand the test of time. Systems throughout the home are thoughtfully designed for long-term comfort and efficiency, including dual 50-gallon water heaters with a circulating system, multiple zoned gas HVAC systems, and a whole-house fan for seasonal airflow. Technology is seamlessly integrated: each room, indoors and out, is hardwired with Ethernet and coaxial connections, providing fast, secure bandwidth beyond Wi-Fi. The oversized two-car garage features 10-foot-wide doors and a bonus 324 sq ft of additional storage, ideal for tools, toys, or a workshop setup. Surrounded by other multi-acre estate properties in one of Cobb County's most scenic and historic settings, this home is more than a place to live, it is a work of architectural craftsmanship. From intimate everyday moments to grand celebrations, this one-of-a-kind retreat offers rare privacy, enduring quality, and the kind of beauty and serenity that can't be replicated.
