Listing photo 1, FMLS #7820405

Behind a gated entry in the historic Rowland Springs area, 7.18 private acres unfold around an acre-plus pond stocked with brim, bass and catfish, and the result is something you simply do not find very often - A custom log home with an inground pool, a separate guest cottage and a barn with a car lift. The custom log home has been thoughtfully enhanced with a renovated kitchen, several renovated bathrooms, a 2025 HVAC system with transferable warranty, and a new metal roof, all without losing an ounce of the craftsmanship that makes it so special. Several species of wood run throughout, adding depth and character to every room. The main level opens into a two-story living room anchored by a floor to ceiling stone masonry fireplace, where a new picture window pulls the pond straight into the room. The renovated kitchen flows to a generous dining area, with a laundry and mudroom tucked conveniently alongside. A nearly 44-foot deck runs the length of the home, the kind of space where mornings stretch long. The primary suite sits on the main with dual closets and a renovated bath featuring a roll-in shower. Above, a private loft bedroom with its own bath, walk-in storage, and a personal deck overlooks the great room below. On the terrace level, an additional bedroom and full bath sit beside a wide bonus room that opens through a new sliding glass door onto a covered 40-foot porch at the water's edge. New luxury vinyl plank runs through the upper and lower levels, with hardwoods on the main. Outside is where this property truly separates itself. The pond carries a dock, a fountain, and a waterfall, with a koi pond nearby fitted with a new pump and liner. The in-ground pool is heated by gas with an updated filtration system. A new gas line feeds both the fire pit and the gazebo. There is a fenced dog run, a two-car carport, and a 32x50 barn outfitted with a car lift and room for every project you have been putting off. Across the pond, an updated two bedroom, two-bath cottage overlooks the water with new kitchen cabinetry, updated plumbing, and its own new septic system. It makes an ideal guest house or in-law suite, giving family and visitors true privacy without leaving this one-of-a-kind property. Located 2.7 miles from I-75 and 4 miles from Lake Allatoona access, close to everything and a world away from all of it.

Every Listing, Full Treatment

What a Rykman
listing page carries.

When live inventory connects, each property opens into a page built like our listings deserve. Here is the anatomy.

The Story

Presentation first.

Editorial photography, the property's point of view, and the facts that make its value legible in the first thirty seconds.

The Numbers

The full picture.

Price history, taxes, schools, and area context in one place, so you evaluate the deal, not just the photos.

The Move

One tap to act.

Book the showing or text the question directly from the page. Speed matters when the right house surfaces.

Ready When You Are

Never house-hunt
alone again.

The search is the easy part. The read, the offer, and the win are where representation earns its keep.
