551 Gold Rush Ct, Ball Ground, GA 30107
What's special
At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, in a subdivision where no lot runs under two acres, sits a home built for more than just checking boxes. There's a professionally designed wine cellar behind a private door, and a creek at the back of the property with its own deck. No HOA, and 2.58 private acres to enjoy. Inside, soaring ceilings and a two-story wall of windows bring natural light into the main living area, while a see-through stone fireplace connects the living and dining spaces. The owner's suite is on the main level, and the finished terrace level adds a bedroom, full bath, recreation space, and custom bar. The fully climate-controlled wine cellar features commercial-grade refrigeration and custom racking for around 1,800 bottles. Outside, landscaped paths wind past a pergola, fire pit, greenhouse, and water features to a private deck overlooking the creek. Mature trees and established landscaping provide plenty of privacy, with several places to entertain or simply sit outside and enjoy your home. Two separate garages, one conditioned, add space for vehicles, storage, a workshop, or hobbies. It's the combination that's hard to find: privacy, acreage, a creek, established outdoor spaces, two garages, and no HOA, all tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Ball Ground.
