3750 Rowan Oak Estates Way Watkinsville, GA 30677

This one-of-a-kind EarthCraft home combines energy efficiency with opulence. Situated in the beautiful Lakes of Rowan Oak community and overlooking Barber Creek, with immaculately cultivated native landscaping, the property is environmentally protected -- meaning that no future developments will ever be constructed behind it to reduce the woodland charm. Amenities include swimming and tennis facilities, a putting green, and lakeside trails winding though an eighteen-acre wildlife preserve. Inside, the home is no less spectacular, with cypress ceilings, heated tile floors, and custom cherrywood cabinetry throughout. Attached to the master bedroom on the main level, his-and-hers storage areas evoke a spa-like atmosphere, and the master bath comes complete with heated towel-racks, dual steam showers, and a whirlpool tub. Outfitted with Brazilian and Kilimanjaro granite, the kitchen also boasts a forty-two-inch SubZero, all-in-one Electrolux, and Wolf induction cooktop, not to mention easy-access cold storage, and the family room's open floor plan invites you to step onto a balcony overhanging a private garden and patio. But perhaps this home's most exciting features are its off-grid capabilities. With multiple water sources (including a well), rainwater collection, a solar hot-water-and-circulation system, solar energy appliances, and low-VOC paint and carpeting, the house practically regulates itself, ensuring that utility and maintenance expenses will remain more affordable than they would be for houses half the size. At $35,000 below appraisal, this home is not only a modern-day marvel, but also a fantastic purchase!
