A Private Resort Estate, Thoughtfully Designed for Exceptional Living. The ideal place to raise a family!
Welcome to 49 Cherokee Court, a secluded 8 bedroom estate on 3.71 landscaped acres in Sparta’s Sawmill Estates. Resort-style living begins outside with a newly refinished heated gunite pool, integrated spa, marble hardscape, mature cypress privacy screening, and fully fenced grounds.
Inside, the home was designed around exceptional craftsmanship, comfort, and well-being, with central a/c , natural wood finishes, marble and granite flooring, hydronic radiant heat floors, and a reverse-osmosis system filtering the home’s water. A premium DaVinci synthetic slate roof offers lasting durability and low-maintenance performance, while Wolf appliances, custom solid-oak cabinetry, two fireplaces, and a first-floor primary suite complete this elevated retreat.
What Victor loves about the house:
“ We love Sparta—the sense of community, the wonderful public and private schools, and how safe and welcoming it has felt as a place to raise our family.
But what we love most about this home is that we raised nine amazing kids here. When we think about it, we think of Sunday dinners, family barbecues, holidays together, and watching the sunset while the kids laughed and kicked a soccer ball around the backyard. Those are the things we’ll remember most.
The backyard has always been our favorite place. So much of our life here has happened outside—summers by the pool, time in the spa, and kids playing in the treehouse. Surrounded by mature trees and natural rock, it feels peaceful and tucked away. We’ve loved having that privacy while still being part of a neighborhood.
Inside, it’s the warmth we’ll miss. The woodwork, the sunshine coming into the kitchen during family breakfasts, the heated floors on cold mornings, and the space for everyone to gather. Even with a big family, there was room to spread out—and room to come back together for dinner.
We’ve put a lot of care into this home over the years because it’s been such an important part of our lives. What has made it special to us is getting to enjoy it with the people we love. Our hope is that the next family will feel as at home here as we have, and find their own favorite things about it.”
