You wont believe it when you see it!! THIS home/estate is EVERYTHING! Sitting on almost 9 acres, this custom built home is as stunning as one would see in a movie! There are breathtaking views as you drive up the elongated driveway. When entering one has the sensation of stepping back in time. Very high end details surround this estate. Old pine flooring, elaborate moldings and wood work take center stage in the overscale grand rooms made for large family gatherings and lavish parties. Every inch of this home is well appointed in detail as a well planned custom home should be! 2 stories of luxury right off Highland Road. Other than the main home at almost 7400 sq ft of living, there is an 1100 sq ft guest house, both with full house generators, a pool house, gunite pool and even a tennis court all on several acres of green land accented with an abundance of mature oak trees! This home is special and is the epitome of true southern living! Make this estate yours today!!
