Tucked away on 12 rolling, wooded acres in prestigious Forsyth County, this remarkable estate offers the rare freedom to feel completely off the grid while remaining just minutes from premier schools, dining, and everyday conveniences. Blending luxury multigenerational living, a self-sustaining private homestead, and the charm of an active working mini-farm, this sanctuary allows life to slow down without ever leaving modern comfort behind. As you turn down the long, winding driveway framed by blooming crepe myrtles, the noise of the world simply drops away—welcoming you to a lifestyle built for today and a legacy designed to endure for generations. At the heart of the property sits a beautifully remodeled 5,192-square-foot main residence tailored for easy everyday living and grand outdoor gatherings. Updated double-entry wood doors open into a light-filled interior showcasing bamboo flooring, crisp paint, solid-panel wood doors, and fresh hardware. A dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors the grand open-concept living room, creating an inviting natural gathering space for quiet mornings, festive holidays, and cozy evenings. A soaring wall of windows bathes the kitchen and main living areas in warm sunlight while offering uninterrupted views of your private backyard pool resort. The completely redesigned chef's kitchen serves as a true masterpiece, boasting thick quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, an oversized deep sink, and elite Thermador appliances. Thoughtful tech upgrades include a smart refrigerator with an interior water-refill station and Wi-Fi camera, a whisper-quiet dishwasher, double steam wall ovens, and a warming drawer. The main-level primary suite serves as a peaceful sanctuary, complete with two custom closets—including a sprawling walk-in. A private exterior door provides immediate, direct access from the bedroom to the pool deck, making morning lap swims, late-night starlit soaks in the hot tub, or peaceful evening coffee by the water a simple habit. Two nearby secondary bedrooms share a nicely appointed Jack-and-Jill bath, while all bathrooms throughout the home feature updated quartz tops, new sinks, and modern fixtures. The fully finished terrace level adds incredible square footage for entertaining, recreation, and multi-family fun. Discover two separate media viewing areas, a dedicated game room with a wet bar, a full bath, a secure reinforced room for hunting/fishing gear, and a second stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove insert. Step outside to an absolute backyard paradise. The heated custom pool features a built-in tile slide, cascading waterfall, shooting fountain, integrated hot tub, and a convenient pool-side half bath. Fully automated via the Aqua Link mobile app, you can adjust temperatures, lighting, and water features right from your phone. Adding ultimate versatility, a nearly new 3-bedroom plus bonus room modular home (under 10 months old) offers complete independence for extended family, guests, or live-in staff. For homesteading enthusiasts, the grounds feature a freshly painted 4-stall barn, goat house, chicken coop, dedicated livestock enclosure, established fruit orchard, and a fenced vegetable garden. Freeze-proof spigots and dedicated water sources keep maintenance seamless. Enjoy fishing on your private, stocked 1-acre pond with a built-in overflow dam, or explore winding creeks and cleared ATV trails throughout the timber. A powered 20x30 workshop with a fresh concrete pad handles heavy equipment. With a full-price offer, the seller includes a turnkey land-maintenance package with a Kubota tractor, Viper UTV, and Bad Boy mower! Currently enrolled in Forsyth County’s conservation tax program for substantial tax savings and buyer expected to continue until 2029. Built for the life you want today and the legacy you'll build for generations to come! Welcome Home!
