OPEN HOUSE SUN APRIL 28 (2 - 5Pm) European Estate
Ball Ground, Cherokee County, Georgia
Country European Elegance at its best. Feel as if you are on vacation in Provence while living in the North Atlanta horsey corridor. Designed by renowned architect Charles Nevison, the estate is authentically french country in both style and substance. Notably the classic hip roofing, the rustic beams and fireplace in the kitchen, the terra cotta tile imported from Europe, venetian plaster walls, stone flooring, exquisite moldings and mahogany doors make this a "classic" European villa. Exquisite decorative details abound, including interior windows from a London trolley station. The elegant primary bedroom on the main has a fireplace, balcon de fumer, antique claw foot tub in bath, his/her closets, hardwoods in bedroom, marble in bath. The kitchen is french country rustic with sitting area with fireplace, a lovely laundry/mudroom toward the front, and several french doors that open onto veranda, which overlooks pool and gardens. The gardens are exquisite, with only a 2 minute walk to private lake with all its wildlife and beauty. There is an income-producing apartment/residence over the three car garage, charming and quaint. The stables are European carriage-house style, with three stalls opening onto covered portico, windows for great ventilation to the front, and a large tack and feed room. There is an actual stables residence, so you only need to step onto your spacious front porch to walk to your stalls! Similar to a modern-day barndominium, this cottage-style barn residence oozes French country charm and is perfect for a barn-manager or a second residence for someone who wants to sleep close to their horses! With three bedrooms upstairs and kitchen, living, dining on main it is charming. The horses will be equally happy in their lush pastures, four board fencing, water in place, shade trees and plenty of country roads to hack out. Luxurious, rustic, elegant, equine-friendly, very private in its location ( not on a main road but "tucked away) yet only minutes from Milton, Alpharetta, Cumming, Canton/East Cherokee ( north Atlanta's "horse farm" corridor) as well as fine dining, shopping, and feed stores. 55 miles north of Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson Airport and a 30-40 minute drive to the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Experience living in the South of France in the horsey-corridor of beautiful North Georgia.
