Estate-Style European Ranch Near Chateau Elan Welcome to 981 Ardmore Trail, a stunning four-sided brick and stone European-style ranch located in the prestigious Chateau Forest community, just minutes from Chateau Elan Winery, Resort, Golf Club, and Spa. Offering estate-style living, this elegant home sits on a private .81-acre lot, giving you the space, privacy, and freedom today's luxury buyers crave. Designed for comfort and flexibility, the home features 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, including a main-level owner's suite and a finished terrace-level in-law or guest suite with private exterior and driveway access-perfect for multi-generational living, guests, or a private retreat. Step inside to a grand two-story foyer, 9-foot+ ceilings on both levels, rich hardwood floors, custom bookcases, and elegant trey ceilings throughout. Entertain effortlessly in the formal dining room that seats 12+, relax in the separate den or library/office, or gather in the family room with fireplace and wet bar. One of the home's most special features is the sun-filled sunroom overlooking a private Pennsylvania Blue Stone courtyard, creating a peaceful indoor-outdoor living space ideal for morning coffee, quiet evenings, or hosting guests in a garden-like setting. The gourmet kitchen is designed for both daily living and entertaining, featuring stained cabinetry, solid-surface countertops, double ovens, pantry, and breakfast area, along with a second full kitchen-a rare and valuable feature for entertaining, extended family, or in-law living. The luxurious primary suite offers his-and-hers walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bath with double vanities, vaulted ceilings, whirlpool tub, and separate shower. Downstairs, the finished terrace level includes a bedroom, full bath, workshop, and multiple access points, plus over 2,000 square feet of unfinished space, providing incredible potential for a theater room, gym, wine cellar, or additional living space. The home also features two separate garages-a 3-car garage on the main level and a 1-car garage on the terrace level, perfect for vehicles, golf carts, hobbies, or workshop needs. Energy-efficient upgrades include geothermal HVAC, zoned heat pumps, thermal-pane windows, extra insulation, and programmable thermostats, delivering exceptional comfort with low operating costs. Geothermal HVAC systems provide highly efficient heating and cooling, often resulting in approximately 30-50% lower heating and cooling costs compared to traditional systems. Enjoy peaceful estate-style living while being just minutes from Chateau Elan's world-class golf, winery, spa, dining, and entertainment, with easy access to I-85, Braselton, Buford, Lake Lanier, and Atlanta. This is a rare opportunity to own a luxury ranch with an in-law suite, courtyard, and expansion potential in one of Hoschton's most desirable locations.
