Immerse yourself in a world of luxury and tranquility behind the gates of Hawks Ridge, one of Georgia's premier golf communities known for its multi-acre lots and winding roads. Nestled deep in the neighborhood is this nearly new home that embodies the look and lifestyle you're searching for. A manicured lawn, tasteful landscaping, and creamy painted brick exterior provide the perfect backdrop for this home's thoughtfully curated details and finishes. It offers nearly 12,000 square feet of living space, including 8 bedrooms, 8 full bathrooms, 3 half bathrooms, 2 garages totaling 5 parking bays, and a full 1-bedroom apartment above the 3-car garage.

The backyard rivals the finest resorts and includes a saltwater pool and spa, bocce court, dual pickleball-basketball court, and children's play area. Relax in the cabana in front of the fireplace or whip up a meal in the outdoor kitchen - complete with a Big Green Egg, gas grill, 2-burner cooktop, refrigerator, sink, and plenty of counter space. A large-screen TV on a swivel mount ensures you'll never miss a play during the big game. Need a break from the sun? The cabana is equipped with shades. Interior details include white oak flooring, high ceilings, wide hallways, oversized windows and doors for natural light, extensive millwork, multiple fireplaces, and designer lighting - including a 25-light heritage crystal chandelier in the foyer. The home comes outfitted with a state-of-the-art, zoned Sonos sound system - 5 interior and 3 exterior zones.

The kitchen is ready to host everything from midnight snacks to an elegant dinner party. It features an oversized island topped with Italian marble; Thermador appliances - double oven, six-burner gas cooktop with a griddle, vent hood, and refrigerator with full-size freezer; custom cabinetry with soft close hinges and built-in lighting; and a hidden pantry with additional counter space and storage for smaller appliances. You can serve a meal on the island, but there's also a breakfast room with a fireplace and cathedral ceiling, a banquet-size formal dining room, and a covered porch overlooking the pool with another fireplace. There are no rooms above the main-level primary suite, making it exceptionally quiet. The sleeping quarters include a gas fireplace, backyard views, and access to a covered porch. The bathroom is clad in white marble with 2 vanities and a separate makeup counter, a large walk-in shower with 3 independently controlled shower heads, and a separate soaking tub. Finally, the primary closet has custom storage on all 4 walls and a large center island - ideal for packing.

On the terrace level, entertain your friends around a u-shaped mahogany bar. Coffered ceiling and rich colors give this fully outfitted bar an authentic pub feel. It includes a billiards area and opens to a family room. Off to the side is a wine room enclosed by glass and steel panels, with storage for 500 bottles. You'll also find a movie theater, home gym with a sauna, full bathroom with access to the pool deck, and gentlemen's study with Damask wallpaper and built-in bookcases in deep tones, giving it a distinctly masculine feel. It makes an ideal office, particularly for early risers - the large east-facing windows showcase spectacular sunrises.

Sitting on 2.5 acres of land backing to woods but with seasonal views of the 10th fairway, this home is filled with features that make everyday life easier and more enjoyable. Neighborhood amenities include a Jr. Olympic pool, tennis and pickleball courts, rental cottage, and helipad. Stop by the newly renovated clubhouse for a meal or pick up dinner to go! Hawks Ridge offers an 18-hole and a 9-hole course and is ranked as a top US golf course. With fewer than 300 members, you'll never wait for a tee time! This hidden gem is 15 minutes from Milton and 5 minutes from downtown Ball Ground. Leave the stress of crowds behind and soak in the serenity of Hawks Ridge.
