This 27-acre tract in Cherokee County presents a rare convergence of acreage, water frontage and high-end home construction that lends itself to luxury acreage living and recreation. The 5,500-square-foot, 5-bedroom, 5.5-bath custom home was built to high standards and is situated to take full advantage of the setting. Key recent upgrades (within the past three years) include new windows and exterior doors, new flooring, upgraded porches, replacement of three HVAC units, modern indoor appliances, a Rinnai instant hot-water system, updated lighting, and new/furnished interior components. Construction details include six-inch exterior walls for improved insulation and sound control, a fully encapsulated crawl space with dedicated dehumidifiers and climate control, and an engineered septic system. The water supply is provided via a 2-inch meter on a 6-inch main line, which is spring-fed by Cherokee County water. Natural gas service is available with hookups throughout the home and outdoor living areas.
The interior amenities include a master bath with a multi-jet shower system and a Bain-style soaking tub, a two-sided gas-fired fireplace with fan-exhaust system, a sophisticated technology infrastructure including a mirrored-TV system between the living room and sunroom, a dedicated media wiring closet, electric blinds in the sunroom, and Starlink high-speed internet connectivity. The kitchen includes a natural-gas cooktop. Exterior features include a pool, a pool house with a half bath and closet, a climate-controlled pantry area in the garage, a fiber-reinforced concrete driveway for durability and strength, a full-home automatic-start backup generator, exterior and landscape lighting, and natural-gas hookups for outdoor grills and home systems. Both upstairs bedrooms have their own bathroom, and there is an entertainment area upstairs for movie nights, fun for kids, and guests. The outdoor space is charming, featuring a pool and an outdoor cooking area that is second to none, designed for family and friends' entertainment and enjoyment.
The property offers approximately 450 feet of frontage along Terrapin Creek, providing a natural creekfront setting for recreation, an awesome place to take a walk with your dog, exercise and enjoy creation. The creek is renowned for its excellent fishing, canoeing, and cool, clear water, making it an ideal spot for summertime swimming. The terrain is diversified with some open land up front, virgin timber throughout the middle and back, with some pockets of thickets. The wildlife is thriving in the area.
From a land-management and outdoor recreation standpoint, the grounds are professionally landscaped with Pennington Bermuda Triangle turf—selected to green one month earlier and retain color two months longer than standard Bermuda in this region. A 3.5-acre underground electric dog fence is installed, including an insulated doghouse. A lifetime termite guarantee is in place and monthly insect monitoring is performed by a professional pest-control firm. The mix of open areas, wooded mature timber, and thick areas creates a diverse habitat for deer and turkey hunting, and the creek frontage offers opportunities for fishing or kayaking.
The location along Terrapin Creek offers a scenic water's-edge experience that enhances the estate’s appeal. With 27 acres of land and modern infrastructure in place, this offering is ideal for buyers seeking acreage with amenities, creek access, wildlife habitat, and a move-in-ready custom home.
Potential uses include acreage for a quiet primary residence or secondary rural retreat, recreational property with hunting, fishing, creek access, and timber value, and long-term investment in a diversified land asset. All utilities, including natural gas, high-speed internet, engineered septic systems, and a robust mechanical system, are present, reducing the lead time for occupancy.
In summary this property provides acreage in a desirable county, water frontage on Terrapin Creek, a high-end custom home with modern infrastructure and upgrades, and a land-use portfolio that combines open land, timber and creekside frontage. Buyers seeking acreage with recreational attributes and a move-in-ready estate home will find that this listing aligns with their criteria.
