Tucked discreetly behind gates on nearly 11 pastoral acres, Northwind is a residence of remarkable provenance and rare scale. Conceived by celebrated architect Henri Jova and commissioned by philanthropist Peter Abreu, this modernist estate is a masterwork of spatial drama, quiet luxury, and architectural clarity, an extraordinary convergence of form and function, history and modernity. Approached via a long, tree-lined drive, the home reveals itself slowly, with monumental geometry set against a backdrop of hardwood forest and rolling lawns. Inside, grandly scaled rooms, originally designed to accommodate heirloom furnishings, unfold in a series of dramatic volumes. A sunken living room crowned by a soaring 30-foot ceiling is encased in walls of glass, dissolving the boundary between interior and landscape. Clean lines and expressive materials reflect Jova’s signature style, emphasizing transparency, proportion, and connection to site. The residence has been thoughtfully reimagined by its current owner, balancing reverence for the original architecture with nuanced modern updates. Living, dining, and entertaining spaces are fluid and generous, anchored by a re-envisioned kitchen finished in terrazzo and framed by retractable Pella glass doors that open seamlessly to the expansive outdoor terrace and pool. Overlooking the pool is a fully self-contained A-frame guest house, a striking architectural moment in its own right. With its original angular roofline preserved, the guest house offers a full kitchen, living room, bedroom, and full bath, providing a true secondary residence that feels both private and connected. The primary suite occupies its own wing and functions as a private apartment, complete with sitting room, study, morning kitchen, dual dressing rooms, and a separate bedroom or yoga space. A second level offers three additional bedrooms and a full suite of recreational spaces, including a media lounge and billiards room, each oriented toward the surrounding grounds. Zoned agricultural, the property offers flexibility for equestrian use or curated landscaping, and includes a three-car garage, detached studio structure, and additional outbuildings. Despite its seclusion, Northwind sits just minutes from Canton Street, The Avenue East Cobb, and Avalon, offering an uncommon level of privacy without sacrificing proximity to the best of North Atlanta. An architectural landmark, a legacy estate, and an exceedingly rare land offering, Northwind presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a true cultural and architectural artifact in one of North Atlanta's most accessible and desirable suburbs.
