Acreage Homes with One and One Half Stories

This custom-built farmhouse sits on private acreage in the highly desirable Free Home area, just across the Cherokee County line and surrounded by rolling pasture and grazing horses. Enjoy a rare combination of peaceful retreat and everyday convenience with a location just minutes from Cumming City Center, downtown Milton, top-rated schools, shopping, dining, and convenient access to GA-400 and major commuting routes. Beyond the idyllic approach, a classic, covered wraparound porch welcomes you home beneath a metal roof. Step through the double front doors into a two-story entry, where vintage distressed hardwood floors, shiplap detail, exposed beams, and sliding barn doors lend a layered, custom feel to the space. A spacious dining room off the entryway overlooks the front yard, setting the stage for the open great room beyond, where a fireside family room flows seamlessly into the kitchen and outdoor living areas. The oversized eat-in island anchors the kitchen, complemented by a custom range hood, large farmhouse sink with a front apron, brick backsplash, stone countertops, and a thoughtful mix of open shelving and closed cabinetry to the ceiling. Just off the kitchen, a sunny breakfast nook leads to a screened-in porch, where vaulted wood ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace create a magical space to unwind. The outdoor living experience continues with a spacious deck perfect for dining al fresco, gravel patio ideal for gathering around a firepit and a fenced-in yard offers the perfect space for play and furry friends and potential pool-ready lot. Back inside, the primary suite sits on the main level with direct access to the outdoors, offering a true retreat with a spacious walk-in closet, custom wood dual vanity, oversized walk-in shower, and clawfoot soaking tub. A second bedroom, full bathroom, and laundry room/mudroom complete the first floor. The home offers two separate upstairs spaces: a private suite above the garage makes an ideal private guest retreat, home office or playroom/rec room, while a separate staircase leads to two oversized bedrooms, a full bathroom and another bonus room. Downstairs, an additional 2,050 square feet of unfinished basement is stubbed for a bath and perfect for additional entertaining/rec space, movie room, guest suite, gym and more. Additional highlights include a Control4 smart home system with integrated Sonos speakers throughout, an irrigation system for the front and side yards, shed for workshop space and equipment storage and a barn-take advantage of AG zoning that welcomes animals and hobby farming opportunities! With its timeless character, stunning grounds, and space for everyone to live, work, and play-this home is truly one-of-a-kind.

55 Acres That Feels Like Thousands. There are places in the mountains that seem untouched by time. Places where the road narrows, the trees grow taller, and the noise of the modern world fades into the distance. Places that remind you what North Georgia looked like before it became a destination. This is one of those places. Protected by the same family for over seventy years, this remarkable property is being offered to the public for the very first time. Hidden among the ridges and valleys of majestic Suches and bordering thousands of acres of United States National Forest, these 55.53 acres feel less like a property and more like a small piece of the South that somehow escaped discovery. A creek winds through the valley floor. Open pasture gives way to towering hardwoods. Sunlight filters through the canopy the same way it has for generations. Established trails disappear into the forest. Mountain views emerge unexpectedly through the trees. Everywhere you turn, there is a feeling that this land has been left exactly as it was meant to be. And perhaps that’s what makes it so rare. Not the acreage. Not the National Forest boundary. Not even the location minutes from the Appalachian Trail or the short scenic drive from downtown Dahlonega. It’s the feeling. The feeling that you’ve found something most people spend a lifetime looking for. A place where your neighbor is a mountain ridge. A place where mornings begin with fog rising from the valley and evenings end beneath an unobstructed sky full of stars. A place with space to roam, where families can gather and memories can be made for generations to come. An existing mountain cottage overlooks the land, offering a simple place to stay while dreaming about what this property might become—a private estate, a sporting retreat, an equestrian farm, a family compound, or simply a place to escape when the world becomes too loud. Because the truth is, land like this isn’t created anymore. It isn’t being manufactured. It isn’t being improved. It isn’t waiting behind the gates of a new development. It’s simply being passed from one steward to the next. 55.53 acres is what the survey says, but standing here, with the National Forest stretching beyond the horizon and the mountains unfolding in every direction, it feels like a hundred thousand acres. Rare. Protected. Timeless. The kind of place you’ll be talking about years from now—whether you’re the one who bought it or the one who let it get away.
