Property Description

Imagine beginning each day with serene views of your own private two-acre lake, where a family of ducks glides peacefully across sun-dappled waters. Just beyond, an inviting in-ground pool with dual cascading waterfalls and an elegant pergola welcomes you into a remarkable 14-acre private estate. This extraordinary lifestyle awaits at 265 Honeysuckle Lane. Priced below its appraised value, this exceptional custom-built luxury residence offers over 6,000 square feet of refined living space, delivering a truly rare opportunity in today’s market. With stately curb appeal, generous proportions, a seamless flowing floorplan, and multiple spaces designed for gathering and entertaining, this home is ideally suited for family living, hosting events, or enjoying a tranquil retirement surrounded by nature. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated, and no expense has been spared in preparing this home for its next owner. The grand entry opens into an expansive open-concept living area tailored to modern living, featuring 15-foot ceilings, premium crown molding, and an abundance of natural light. The living room centers around a striking fireplace and flows effortlessly into the gourmet kitchen and formal dining room, which comfortably seats twelve or more guests. A separate breakfast area offers direct access to the rear balcony, perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. One wing of the main level is dedicated to the impressive primary suite, bathed in natural light and offering scenic views along with a luxurious, resort-style primary bathroom. The opposite wing provides access to an oversized three-car garage with exceptional storage capacity. A sweeping, ballroom-style curved staircase leads to the terrace level, which features three additional bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a bonus room perfect for a gym, and a spacious great room—each finished with plush luxury carpeting and virgin padding. This level opens directly to the pool area and expansive backyard retreat. The grounds are equally as impressive, featuring eight cleared acres and four wooded acres, creating a private nature preserve. The fully stocked two-acre lake includes catfish, bream, and bass, complete with a flowing fountain and paddleboat for leisurely enjoyment. This fully fenced in, move-in-ready estate has been meticulously updated and includes electric gate entry, a boat garage, a brand-new roof, all new mechanicals, fresh interior and exterior paint, new light fixtures throughout, new tile on the front porch and rear balcony, a new well pump for the 500-foot-deep well, two septic tanks, and a Generac whole-home generator for peace of mind. Public water and sewer connections are conveniently available at the street, offering future flexibility. Located in a quiet community free from light pollution, within an excellent school district, less than ten minutes from Publix, and under forty minutes from downtown Atlanta, this property offers unmatched privacy without sacrificing convenience. Come experience the luxury, the land, the lake, and the star-filled skies of Honeysuckle Lane. There is truly no substitute for seeing this remarkable estate in person.
