About this home

From the moment the gate rolls back, this property unfolds rather than reveals itself all at once — 72-plus acres of pasture, hardwood, and water, the house settling into the land instead of standing over it. The long drive winds past ornamental trees and open pasture before the estate comes into view, reimagined from the ground up. Inside, the craftsmanship sets the tone for everything else. Reclaimed Wisconsin barn wood, pulled from a late-1800s structure, runs through the flooring, the cabinetry, and the tongue-and-groove ceilings overhead. The great room rises 28 feet on exposed timber trusses, one of five fireplaces anchoring the space, while six sets of French doors fold the room open to the pool and pasture beyond. The kitchen matches the scale — hand-forged copper pulls, custom millwork, exotic granite, a Wolf six-burner range with double ovens, Sub-Zero, and Scotsman ice, built around a walnut mudroom bench that carries the same detail to the back door. The primary suite claims its own wing — a vaulted ceiling, a soaking tub, a stone-clad walk-in shower, a private sauna, and a sitting room warmed by a double-sided fireplace shared with the bath. Upstairs, a lofted living space looks down over those same beams and out to a heated saltwater infinity pool with dual spillways, the same western exposure that catches the sunset over open pasture every evening. Outside is where this property becomes a sportsman's landscape as much as an estate. A three-acre stocked pond invites an evening with a rod, while the surrounding hardwoods and open acreage give a rifle or a bow real room to roam. A refurbished barn with tack room, wash bay, and training ring supports the equestrian side, with pastures trailing a winding creek down to a dedicated dry paddock. A separate three-bedroom, two-bath guest house adds income potential, quarters for whoever runs the place, or space for guests to stay close. This is a western estate with the feel of Aspen or Yellowstone, built on Georgia ground — bourbon-and-leather, unhurried, and built to be used hard for a long time to come.
