About This Home

As of March 2022

In today's market, rarely do spectacular opportunities like this arise. Picture yourself owning one-hundred and four acres of property in one of the most coveted parts of growing North Georgia. Enter the gates of 901 Sparks Lane, and glide down the paved drive, where rolling pastures and waterfront views set the tone for this stately 104-acre estate. You will find serenity in this secluded enclave and you won’t find neighbors, as the property’s pastures are surrounded by thickly wooded rolling hills. Swing open the front door to your casually elegant, sprawling ranch home. The entryway and main floor are welcoming and perfectly designed to accommodate guests, family, and entertaining. Ample gathering spaces fill out the left wing, while bedrooms and the master suite finish out the right-wing. Freshly painted white brick and manicured landscaping can be seen out every window in the home, along with gorgeous views of your two stocked ponds and pastures. If your entertaining grows larger than expected, send them to the basement - which is perfectly equipped to handle as many guests as you can invite. A full kitchen and in-law apartment fill out the basement along with a fully equipped, accessible bathroom. Nearly step-less entry to the home provides easy access to both levels, along with an elevator off the primary suite for even easier accessibility. An extraordinary number of parking spaces would excite the car enthusiast - two attached on the kitchen level, and a three-car bay in the basement would be perfect for your collector cars or boat. The home is exceptional, but the grounds are absolutely endless with possibilities. Trails, hiking, ATVs, and most of the property is fenced, so animals can be easily accommodated. Need help taking care of the land? There is a conveniently located second residence on the property with its own mailing address. Exceptional craftsmanship, impeccable location, unimaginable opportunities. You will feel completely removed, yet the comforts of the city are only minutes away. There’s so much more to enjoy, so schedule a showing and pack your bags because you won’t want to leave!
