Description
COMING SOON to market: Nestled in the heart of Cherokee County, East Cherokee, just off 140 and close-in to Northside Hospital, Downtown Canton, and a quick drive to Alpharetta/Milton, is this dream-like 19.99 acre Texas-Hill Country inspired home offers luxury horse facilities, a resort-like heated pool framed by a stone oasis, level, fenced beautiful pasture (complete with a creek and framed wood-line privacy), and private acreage featuring vineyards, curated vegetable gardens, a smokehouse, a cabin, and rolling pastures of greenspace. From the timber-framed entrance welcoming you home, this property is a rare offering for buyers seeking a luxury acreage property in North Ga that offers privacy, beauty and architectural distinction, so "tucked away" on a back road, yet so close-in to all that Canton has to offer. Designed for entertaining as well as relaxed every day living, the custom residence features intentional curated rustic touches authentic to Hill-Country Texas-style, complete with outdoor loggias with fireplaces, stone and stucco elements, stamped art in outdoor concrete flooring, Texas-tall 11 foot ceilings on the terrace level, graceful arched entrances, and indoor-outdoor living spaces. The ranch-style primary level features 4 bedrooms with 3 baths, rugged hickory flooring, new appliances, and a relaxed spatial flow; meanwhile the terrace level charms as an amazing entertaining space featuring a custom bar, custom designed built in cabinetry in media area, billiards and game room, full living/dining with stone fireplace, a private guest bedroom and spa-like full bath, all opening to lower-level loggia with fireplace and resort-style pool area. Equestrian-enthusiasts will revel in the horse amenities that include a custom-designed 5 stall barn with loads of tongue and groove, custom-curated stall fronts with archways, a heated and cooled laundry, dog wash and tack room, and all the elevated creature-comforts possible (stall fans, lovely matting) for any pampered pony, show horse, or pet. There is a well-sanded and well-drained arena with kick-walls, 440 fence in front pastures, pastures with water, a separate well, and plenty places to ride on back property. A massive 4000 sft shop with 4 roll-up doors exists closer to front of property, with an attached metal pole barn complete with 50amp RV hookup and adequate elevation for any class A vehicle, trailer, boat, or RV. The private rolling pastures are accessed by an easy drive or walk toward back of property, completely fenced and graced by a creek, where the cabin, vineyards, gardens, and smokehouse are located. Zoned as (tax-preferred) conservation use, the grounds are beautiful, private and peaceful, with potential for a future (family) residence build, as pristine pasture for horses, or for entertaining outdoors. These private acres create a priceless feeling of peace, quiet and a deep connection to the land, a personal sanctuary separate from the stress of everyday living. For those seeking a lifestyle centered around the outdoors, natural beauty, a home with architectural character and Texas charm, yet all the conveniences and the great location of East Cherokee, this uniquely beautiful 20-acre private estate will captivate their hearts.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageDean Rusk Middle School is, without exaggeration, one of the most frustrating and disappointing school environments I’ve encountered. From the top down, the place feels disorganized, unresponsive, and completely out of touch with what students actually need to succeed. Communication is practically nonexistent unless it benefits the administration—otherwise, don’t expect emails, calls, or concerns to be acknowledged in any meaningful way. The administration comes across as indifferent at best and dismissive at worst. Issues that should be taken seriously are brushed aside, and there’s little sense of accountability. Instead of addressing problems, it often feels like they’re ignored until they become impossible to hide. That kind of leadership sets the tone for everything else—and unfortunately, it shows.The classroom environment doesn’t help either. Disruptions are common, and discipline is inconsistent, which makes it incredibly difficult for students who genuinely want to learn. Teachers seem overwhelmed, and while some clearly try their best, the lack of structure and support makes it hard for them to be effective. The result is a learning environment that feels more chaotic than constructive.Support systems for students are severely lacking. Whether someone is struggling academically or dealing with social challenges, there’s very little in place to actually help them improve. It often feels like students are left to fend for themselves, which is unacceptable for a school that’s supposed to guide and support young learners during important developmental years.Overall, this school falls short in nearly every area that matters—communication, leadership, discipline, and student support. It’s not just disappointing; it’s discouraging. There is a clear need for major changes, because in its current state, this is not a place that fosters growth, respect, or a positive educational experience.Student Review2mo ago - Sequoyah High School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIf you want your child in a safe environment, have an administration that actually cares for students instead of trying to penalize them for everything and anything, learn nothing as teachers, teaching method is passive, not active, stay away from this school.Parent Review6mo ago - Indian Knoll Elementary
