An exceptional and seldom-available opportunity to own a premier villa ideally positioned on Hole #1 of Achasta's Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course. This beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence offers 3,362 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space across three elegant levels, with additional unfinished square footage providing flexibility for future expansion. The interior showcases refined architectural details including 10-foot ceilings, 8-foot doors, custom Pella windows with built-in blinds, beamed accents, and custom built-ins. A wall of windows along the rear of the home floods the space with natural light while framing breathtaking golf course and mountain views from nearly every room. Hardwood floors add warmth and timeless sophistication throughout. The main-level primary suite is a private retreat featuring a spa-inspired bath with jetted tub, separate shower, coffered ceiling, and spacious walk-in closet. The chef's kitchen is appointed with a five-burner gas cooktop, stone countertops, walk-in pantry, and breakfast bar, opening seamlessly to the fireside family room and sunroom-ideal for both intimate living and entertaining. The terrace level offers a media room, wet bar, and abundant storage. Outdoor living is equally impressive with a covered patio featuring a cypress wood ceiling, built-in speakers, Big Green Egg, and private hot tub, all overlooking professionally landscaped grounds with direct private access to the golf course. Golf cart, washer and dryer, Big Green Egg, hot tub, and custom wine rack all convey. Recent upgrades include a new HVAC (2022), roof (2019), water heater (2021), expanded laundry room, fresh exterior paint, and recent soft wash-ensuring move-in-ready, worry-free ownership. Additionally, 2026 HOA dues have already been paid by the seller, offering immediate value and peace of mind. Life in Achasta extends well beyond the gates. Enjoy a resort-style community with tennis and pickleball courts, pool with tiki bar, walking trails, river access for fishing and kayaking, clubhouse dining, and an active social calendar. Just minutes away, historic downtown Dahlonega feels like a scene from a Hallmark movie, offering charming boutiques, seasonal festivals, and celebrated dining. Explore nearby award-winning wineries, scenic North Georgia waterfalls, and hiking trails, or enjoy a day on Lake Lanier just 20 minutes away. Major hospitals and medical centers are conveniently close, while Atlanta remains less than 60 minutes from home. A rare blend of golf-front luxury, mountain beauty, and storybook lifestyle-this is Achasta living at its finest.
