464 Poole Road, Ball Ground

One-of-a-kind exceptional 58-acre secluded mountain paradise in Pickens County, Georgia. This rare property is ideal for a premier family compound, organic farm, or ultimate homestead. It seamlessly blends breathtaking scenery and abundant wildlife with the convenience of nearby restaurants, grocery store, and shops; located just three miles north of Gibbs Gardens and three miles south of Big Canoe. The land unfolds into rolling forest framed by mountain laurel, dogwood, oak, hickory, beech, maple and pine trees with four year-round streams. Natural beauty has been preserved with underground utilities and underground propane. Completely fenced perimeter with an electric gate; paved driveway with two DOT engineered concrete bridges crossing the streams. The 1400 sq ft 2 bedroom/2 bath home features cedar siding, Andersen windows, Velux skylights, two-story stacked stone fireplace, southern yellow pine tongue and groove 28-ft cathedral ceiling, newly refinished wide plank pine flooring, and walls are freshly painted. Hunter fans, track lighting, and custom millwork highlight the great room. Live in the smaller home while you complete the second home - a 3700 sq ft cedar house with Andersen windows and Velux skylights, 18-ft screenhouse, as well as a two-car garage. This larger home is partially finished to complete as you like, or use the floor plans provided by the current owner. Other buildings include a 2-story cypress sided barn with 3 garage doors plus open bays for equipment and two lofts upstairs, a 33-ft Solar Geodesic Dome Greenhouse, a 12x16 ft greenhouse, a storage building with 500-gallon diesel tank, two large sheds for equipment storage, a Finnish wood-fired sauna, outhouse with composting toilet for use when working outside, and an orchard building. Approximately five acres are cleared for terraced farming, including 110 mature blueberry bushes. Apple orchard has 50+ mature apple trees and is surrounded by an 8-foot-tall fence. A 24-panel solar PV system provides off-grid power for part of the larger house and currently powers two wells plus the dome greenhouse pumps and fans. Three additional solar panels power the third well and irrigation system in the orchard. The property is available as a turnkey farm with 43 HP Kubota tractor, Kubota RTV, and a wide assortment of farming equipment. This is an extraordinary property that offers an opportunity to build a lasting legacy in a gorgeous natural setting unlike anything else in the North Georgia market.
