About this home

Behind a gated entry in the historic Rowland Springs area, 7.18 private acres unfold around an acre-plus pond stocked with brim, bass and catfish. The result is something you simply do not find very often: a custom log home with an inground pool, a separate guest cottage and a barn with a car lift. The property offers approximately 3,200 square feet across two residences. The main house offers approximately 2,400 square feet with two bedrooms, three full bathrooms and a loft bonus space, while the cottage offers approximately 800 square feet with two bedrooms and two baths. The custom log home has been thoughtfully enhanced with a renovated kitchen, several renovated bathrooms, a 2025 HVAC system with a transferable warranty and a new metal roof, all without losing an ounce of the craftsmanship that makes it so special. Several species of wood run throughout, adding depth and character to every room. The main level opens into a two-story living room anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone masonry fireplace, where a new picture window pulls the pond straight into the room. The renovated kitchen flows to a generous dining area, with a laundry and mudroom tucked conveniently alongside. A nearly 44-foot deck runs the length of the home, the kind of space where mornings stretch long. The primary suite sits on the main level with dual closets and a renovated bath featuring a roll-in shower. Above, a loft bonus space with its own bath, walk-in storage and a private deck overlooks the great room below. On the terrace level, the second bedroom and a full bath sit beside a wide bonus room that opens through a new sliding glass door onto a covered 40-foot porch overlooking the water. New luxury vinyl plank runs through the upper and lower levels, with hardwoods on the main. Outside is where this property truly separates itself. The pond features a dock, fountain and waterfall, with a koi pond nearby fitted with a new pump and liner. The inground pool is heated by gas and has an updated filtration system. A new gas line feeds both the fire pit and the gazebo. There is a fenced dog run, a two-car carport and a 32-by-50-foot barn outfitted with a car lift and room for every project you have been putting off. Across the pond, the updated two-bedroom, two-bath cottage overlooks the water and features new kitchen cabinetry, updated plumbing and its own new septic system. It offers privacy for family and visitors, as well as an opportunity for the new owner to explore short-term or long-term rental income. Located 2.7 miles from I-75 and 4 miles from Lake Allatoona access, this property is close to everything and a world away from all of it.
