Welcome to a once-in-a-lifetime legacy property, crowned atop its own private mountain in the North Georgia Mountains-just minutes from Habersham County Airport, offering a rare level of convenience for private aviation. Encompassing over 1,100 acres, this extraordinary estate is positioned along a prominent ridgeline at approximately 1,800 feet in elevation, overlooking its own valley, lake, and rolling pastures below. With three waterfalls, an 8-acre lake, a wide, gently flowing creek, mature hardwood timber, and an extensive network of trails, this is not simply a residence-it is a world unto itself. Beyond a gated entrance, a mile-long private drive winds its way up the mountain, revealing the estate with a sense of arrival that is both dramatic and serene, defined by complete privacy and sweeping panoramic views. The property is thoughtfully improved for both lifestyle and function, featuring a custom Sand Creek Post and Beam barn with four stalls, a lofted living space, kitchenette, half bath and laundry hookups. Overlooking the 8-acre lake, a two-bedroom, two-bath caretaker's cottage is complemented by an orchard, garden and a collection of supporting structures-including an equipment barn, a larger equipment and storage barn, and several century-old livestock and hay barns-adding both utility and a sense of legacy. At the heart of the property, the main residence-custom-built by Richard Padgham, with architectural design by Moon Brothers Architects and interiors by William Stewart-seamlessly blends timeless Colorado Rustic architecture with refined modern finishes, creating a home that feels both enduring and sophisticated. The great room is a striking architectural centerpiece, framed by long-range mountain views, with wide-plank black walnut flooring, a soaring 24-foot vaulted ceiling anchored by hand-cut Douglas fir trusses, and one of six impressive stone fireplaces. The gourmet kitchen is equally distinguished, featuring custom cabinetry, Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, an oversized island, leathered granite countertops, radiant-heated stone floors, and a discreetly positioned walk-in pantry. A game room with bar opens effortlessly to the outdoor kitchen and expansive stone patio. The owner's wing offers a private retreat, complete with a fireside bedroom, sitting room, spa-inspired bath, dual private bathrooms, custom closets, private balcony, and dedicated office .The expansive two-story wing, framed by walls of glass, offers a refined collection of spaces including a secondary den, private office, fitness room, and a well-appointed mudroom with abundant storage, along with an oversized laundry suite featuring a stand-up shower and half bath. A striking architectural staircase-conceived as a true statement piece and anchored by a sculptural iron installation-ascends to three generously proportioned junior suites, each appointed with private baths, ample closet space, and access to an open, gallery-style second-level balcony. Outdoor living rivals that of a private resort, set within impeccably designed grounds where no detail has been overlooked. Multiple gathering spaces, a fireside outdoor living area, and an infinity-edge pool overlook the surrounding mountain landscape. A fully integrated outdoor culinary space with built-in grilling, refrigeration, and bar seating seamlessly extends the home's entertaining spaces into the landscape. Additional features include an oversized three-car garage with slate flooring, abundant storage, and a temperature-controlled potting room with windows overlooking the landscaped entrance, along with a charming greenhouse, raised planting beds, and meticulously curated landscapes surrounding the residence, offering year-round color, texture, and visual interest. This is a rare and irreplaceable offering where craftsmanship, scale, and natural beauty converge in a setting that is both hidden and accessible.
