Nestled on 10.42 private, pristine acres, this custom waterfront home offers a rare and tranquil retreat on the highly sought-after Settingdown Creek. Over 1,300 feet of stunning creek frontage creates a feeling of being a world away, yet the property remains conveniently close to local schools, parks, and shopping. The scenic, winding driveway leads to a sanctuary that was once part of the historic Pooles Mill. Along this unique stretch of "white water" creek, you will discover a mesmerizing waterfall, natural boulders, and several swimming holes, natural rock bridge accessible via a historic logging road. Inside, the bespoke country estate boasts high-end, custom finishes throughout. The main level features a chef's kitchen with a beautiful hammered copper island and natural beams from a century-old barn in South Carolina, which extend into the family room. Wide-plank pine floors, meticulously laid with cut nails, flow throughout. The inviting family room is centered around a cozy natural stone fireplace. A lavish, oversized owner's suite on the main floor includes private exterior access to a wrap-around deck, allowing you to fall asleep to the tranquil sound of rushing water. Its gorgeous, handicap-accessible zero-entry walk-in shower is finished with natural stacked stone. The suite also offers dual walk-in closets and a private laundry room with direct access to the deck. Open the door and let the sounds of water come rushing in! The sophisticated living space continues on the terrace level, which hosts a second full kitchen with a gas cooktop, a second family room with a wood-burning stove, and a second full laundry area. Two additional bedrooms with walk-in closets and a newly remodeled full bathroom complete with an all tile wet room on this level. The terrace opens onto a newly expansive screened-in patio with a natural rock fireplace—an entertainer's dream perfect for hosting large gatherings while listening to the creek. The property is designed for low-maintenance luxury, with new concrete siding and a metal roof. Beyond the home, the manicured and landscaped grounds offer a walking path along the creek, a raised garden, and an additional outbuilding. Two potential homesites, one of which is already perk-tested, present an excellent opportunity for a family compound. This is truly a one-of-a-kind property where no expense was spared. The construction and materials of this fully custom home are well ABOVE average and would cost significantly more money to replicate in today's market. Shown by appointment only.

Welcome to 8010 Scudder Way in Ball Ground — where there’s finally room for everyone and everything. You know that feeling when you walk into a home and immediately start imagining holidays around the table, movie nights, kids running up and down the stairs, and friends gathered around the kitchen island? This is that kind of house. Tucked away in one of Forsyth County’s most desirable areas, this beautiful four-sided brick home gives you the space people are searching for but rarely find. With over-the-top square footage for the price, there’s room to spread out without feeling disconnected. Whether you have a large family, work from home, love hosting, or just want space to breathe, this home adapts to the way real life actually happens. The kitchen truly feels like the heart of the home, featuring a Thermador gas range, double ovens, abundant cabinetry, and a massive walk-in pantry that can finally hold all the snacks, small appliances, holiday serving pieces, and Costco runs. It opens into warm gathering spaces with an inviting fireplace — the kind that make you want to slow down, grab a blanket, and stay awhile. Throughout the home you'll find beautiful details that give it character — custom millwork, tray ceilings, and thoughtful finishes that make it feel elevated without feeling formal. Two staircases make everyday life easier, while two laundry rooms mean fewer baskets getting dragged through the house. Walk-in closets, flexible spaces and a built-in wet bar create endless possibilities whether you need a playroom, home gym, office, theater room, or all of the above. And then there’s the storage — over 450 square feet of extra space for all the things that somehow follow us through life... holiday decorations, keepsakes, sports equipment, and everything in between. Homes with this much space, character, and value in Ball Ground/Forsyth County don't come along often. This isn’t just a house with a lot of square footage — it’s a home designed for the moments that matter.
