1955 Alec Mountain, Clarkesville, Georgia

Description

Corbett Manor isn't just a property. It's a retreat from the noise. Tucked behind a gated entrance on over 40 private acres in the North Georgia foothills, this estate offers the rare combination of privacy, craftsmanship, and intentional design. Five minutes from the creature comforts of downtown Clarkesville, yet feels a world away. Set among mature hardwood forest, the home was built for someone who wants land to match the house. Stone, brick, and hard-coat stucco, a slate roof, copper gutters, imported antique French imported wrought iron railings, and the kind of construction you simply do not see every day. Inside, Italian limestone floors and 13-foot ceilings make a memorable first impression. Heart pine runs through the main level, floor-to-ceiling windows pull the landscape in, and a Lutron lighting system sets the tone throughout. The kitchen is the heart of the home with commercial-grade appliances including dual Sub-Zero refrigerators and freezers, a DACOR dual-fuel range with double ovens, Gaggenau pizza oven, stainless hood, custom heart cabinetry, granite and butcher-block countertops, oversized island with prep sink, two dishwashers, and a limestone farmhouse sink. It connects seamlessly to a fireside sitting area with heated floors and wet bar, plus dining overlooking the homes stunning courtyard with built in outdoor kitchen and gardening shed. The primary suite feels like a private escape with its own fireside sitting area anchored by an imported French marble mantel, marble spa bath with heated floors, Jacuzzi tub, steam shower, dual-sided walk-in closet, and screened balcony. A wormy chestnut-paneled library with fireplace is one of those rooms people do not want to leave. Upstairs, four grand en-suite bedrooms, each with walk-in closets, one with a Juliet balcony overlooking the Great Room with custom beams and 26-foot vaulted ceilings. A bonus space that can be used as an additional home office or craft room and above the three-car garage, a private bedroom suite with bonus space and separate access offers flexibility for guests, extended stays, or live-in support. The terrace level was built for long entertaining weekends with a billiards room, dry bar, fireplace, home theater, fitness room, and full bath. Additional spaces include a laundry room, abundant storage, a mudroom that could be converted to a commercial kitchen, upgraded security system, walk-in pantry, and direct access to the home's dog run. Outdoor living is just as intentional, with a screened porch featuring bluestone flooring, expansive rear balcony, private courtyard with fountain, potting room, built-in grill, and outdoor kitchen setup. And then there is the land itself. Over forty acres of hardwood forest, privacy, quiet, and room to breathe. Enough space to disappear a little. Enough peace to hear yourself think again. Corbett Manor is for the person who wants more than a beautiful home. It is for the person who wants a slower kind of luxury, surrounded by nature, craftsmanship, and a lifestyle most people only get glimpses of.
