About this home
Tucked away at the end of a long private circular drive & surrounded by the peaceful beauty of horse country, this extraordinary estate feels as though it was lifted from the pages of Southern Home Magazine. Set on 2.54 wooded acres just over the Alpharetta line in Cherokee County, this remarkable residence offers a rare combination of privacy, architectural presence & proximity to some of North Atlanta’s most desirable destinations. Far removed from the road & framed by mature trees, neighboring horse pastures & a tranquil natural setting, the property feels wonderfully secluded, yet Downtown Milton, Downtown Alpharetta & the prestigious & sought after Avalon shopping are all approximately 15 to 20 minutes away. Here, you can enjoy the lifestyle & convenience of Alpharetta & Milton while benefiting from Cherokee County taxes & no city taxes. Originally built in 1989 & completely remodeled to the studs in 2020, the home has been thoughtfully reimagined for today’s luxury buyer while preserving the warmth & character that make it feel timeless. Offering approximately 6,600 square feet of finished living space across three levels, the residence was designed to accommodate both intimate everyday living & large scale entertaining with ease. Hardwood floors, plantation shutters, custom built ins, vaulted ceilings & beautifully appointed gathering spaces create an atmosphere that is refined w/out feeling formal. It feels good to come home here. At the heart of the home is an impressive professional kitchen designed for someone who truly loves to cook & entertain. An oversized island anchors the space, complemented by granite countertops, a Bertazzoni professional range, KitchenAid appliances, separate ice maker, wine storage, pasta faucet, walk in pantry & thoughtfully designed pull out cabinetry. The kitchen opens to a keeping rm, creating an inviting place for everyday living, while the separate dining rm comfortably seats 12 or more & features a tray ceiling & built in buffet with abundant storage. The oversized main level primary suite provides a private retreat with a spacious bath featuring separate his & hers areas, double vanities, soaking tub & separate shower. The home’s flexible floor plan includes additional bedrooms & baths throughout all three levels, along with a sunroom, library, den, exercise rm, bonus space, workshop & even a secret rm. The finished daylight terrace level is particularly impressive, with its own exterior entrance, wet bar, den, workout space, library & extensive finished storage. Its configuration offers tremendous possibilities for multigenerational living, an in law suite, extended guests or a private secondary living environment. Outdoor living shines with expansive decking, a covered/screened porch w/ a fireplace, a winding stream, & private acreage. Set well back from the street for ultimate privacy, the home also boasts 2020 updates (roof, HVAC, appliances, etc.), whole-house water filtration, extensive storage, a climate-controlled rm over the garage, & main-level accessibility for aging in place. What makes 1987 Batesville Road especially compelling, however, is the lifestyle it offers. You are surrounded by pastoral scenery & the serenity of a private country estate, yet upscale dining, shopping & entertainment are only minutes away. With easy access toward GA 400, I 575 & Highway 20, the location connects you effortlessly to Alpharetta, Milton, Canton & the North Georgia Mountains. Private w/out being remote. Elegant w/out being pretentious. Spacious w/out sacrificing warmth. This is a home created for gathering, entertaining & living exceptionally well, all in a setting that simply cannot be recreated.
