Welcome to 736 Town Creek Church Road, a custom-built private retreat set on 6 acres in the gated community of The Ranches at Town Creek. Offering approximately 212 feet of Town Creek frontage, a heated gunite saltwater pool and spa, and a fully finished basement, this one-of-a-kind 4-bedroom, 3-bath estate blends craftsmanship, natural beauty, and intentional design in a way that is nearly impossible to replicate. A private gravel drive leads to a striking black exterior with a commercial-grade standing seam metal roof, board and batten siding, custom mirrored glass windows, and extensive stonework, complemented by professional landscaping, a fully fenced pool area, dusk-to-dawn lighting, a whole-house Generac generator, double driveway, and outbuildings like a 10x20' shed with overhangs and a custom 8x12' post-and-beam pavilion overlooking the creek that mirrors the home's design. Inside, the main level features 9-foot ceilings and an open layout anchored by a living room with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, rough-sawn beam accents, shiplap detailing, a custom fan, and in-floor electrical outlets. The kitchen is a centerpiece, showcasing custom cabinetry, tilework, white quartz countertops, a custom vent hood, built-in mini fridge, and a suite of matching appliances, while the walk-in pantry continues with custom shelving and white oak countertops. The dining area makes a statement with a stunning 4x8' custom front door and antler chandelier. The primary suite offers creek views from four windows, "lights out" switches on both sides of the bed, and detailed trim work, while the spa-like bathroom features a soaking tub with a bay window and chandelier, a tiled walk-in shower with rainhead, standard and handheld fixtures, dual vanities, and a custom closet with built-in cabinetry, chandelier, and gold flake quartz countertops. A secondary bedroom and full bath are also located on the main level, along with a laundry room with custom cabinetry, sink, hanging storage, and white oak countertops, and much of the home is designed with wheelchair accessibility in mind. The fully finished basement expands the living space with concrete floors, locally sourced 1x8' pine walls, shiplap ceilings, an electric fireplace, a kitchenette with built-in sink, custom cabinetry with granite countertops, gym space that can function as a bedroom, an additional bedroom, and a reinforced storm room with 10-inch-thick concrete walls and ceiling. The home is equipped with two HVAC systems, two septic systems, and two water heaters, including one dedicated exclusively to the primary bathroom, and a 500-gallon propane tank supports the pool, spa, and generator. Outdoors, the home captures unobstructed creek views from every rear-facing room, with eastern-facing sunrises in the front and sunsets over the water in the back. The covered porch features a wood-burning fireplace overlooking the pool and creek, where you can relax by the fire while listening to Town Creek rushing over the rocks, and the heated gunite saltwater pool and spa include LED lighting, waterfall feature, and 7-foot-deep design. A second fireside gathering area along the creek includes a built-in cowboy cook stove, and Town Creek, designated as a secondary trout stream by the Georgia EPD, offers year-round trout fishing, while the land across the creek is protected by a 28-acre landlocked parcel, preserving privacy. The usable creekside setting creates a natural extension of the home, with a post-and-beam pavilion, swing, and multiple gathering areas designed to feel like your own private retreat tucked into nature. Fireplace mantels were crafted from logs sourced directly from the property, tying the home to its natural surroundings, where deer, turkey, otters, and blue heron are frequently seen throughout the property. This is more than just a home, it's a fully realized retreat where craftsmanship, privacy, and lifestyle come together in one unforgettable North Georgia setting.
