Welcome to Seldom Seen Acres – A Private 5-Acre Retreat in the Heart of Hickory Flat. With no HOA, the land is yours to dream. A Custom Friesian-Style Wooden Horse Gate marks the entrance to this estate. Towering hardwoods line the driveway, creating a peaceful, tree-canopied approach that feels like your own private retreat. A security gate greets you just before approaching this move-in ready, one-of-a-kind modern Cape Cod-style home. Custom-built and once lived in by famous Georgia oil painter Damon Carter, you’ll find optimum natural lighting at every angle. This home is an inspiring blend of comfort, creativity, and class. The entire home has been freshly painted inside and out in classic white, giving it a bright, updated look. The covered front porch features tile flooring, stately cylinder columns, and a tongue-in-groove barrel ceiling. Step through the brand-new custom double wooden front doors with elegant glass panels and you’ll immediately feel the care and craftsmanship. Inside, you'll find hardwood floors throughout — no carpet in sight — and a welcoming foyer that opens to a colossal great room, combining the living room, kitchen, and dining area into one show-stopping space. With room for a 12+ seat dining table, multiple conversation areas, a stunning floor-to-ceiling, stacked-stone, wood burning fireplace with a raised hearth, this oversized light-filled great room, overlooking the in-ground pool, offers multiple furniture layouts, perfect for everything from cozy conversations to big family gatherings. The kitchen is a smart, stylish space with major design impact — new Calacatta quartz countertops, elegant pendant lights, and warm wood cabinetry create a welcoming kitchen with everything you need (and nothing you don’t). The primary suite features a bay window and comfortably fits a king-sized bedroom set. The beautifully updated ensuite with crisp white tones, bold black accents, and luxe gold finishes, featuring a spa-inspired shower wrapped in designer tile and finished with luxe gold hardware gives this ensuite a high-end, timeless look that never goes out of style. The walk-in closet is custom-built with drawers, shelves, and yes — a chandelier. Upstairs, you’ll find a loft and catwalk that overlook the great room, plus two secondary bedrooms and a beautifully updated full bathroom. One of the bedrooms even boasts three closets! The larger of the two bedrooms was Damon Carter’s former art studio — a massive, light-filled room with its own exterior entrance, wet bar with cabinetry, tons of storage, and limitless potential. Whether you need a home office, content creation space, photography studio, homeschool area, teen suite, or a guest/mother-in-law suite, this space delivers. The terrace level has been freshly updated with wood-look ceramic tile flooring, and includes two bedrooms, a gorgeous tiled full bath, a spacious bonus room perfect for a family or game room, and another room ideal for an office, playroom, or potential sixth bedroom. Let’s not forget big-toy storage. This unique home offers an oversized 2-car garage, perfect for those large North Georgia trucks (one bay is extra deep), a place for your ATV or side-by-side and room for a workbench and storage. Have an RV? No problem! There’s plenty of exterior parking for that, too! Step outside to the covered back deck overlooking your private wooded retreat with multiple fenced-in areas, intimate seating areas, lush gardens, wraparound deck and the ultimate 20x40 Jr. Olympic saltwater pool, featuring a 9-ft deep end, waterfall, and color-changing underwater lights — perfect for evening swims under the stars. All this, and still just minutes to Milton, shopping, and top-rated schools like Creekview High, Creekland Middle, and Avery Elementary. Ready to live somewhere truly special? Come home to Seldom Seen Acres — where creativity meets comfort in a setting you’ll never want to leave.
