The Bentwater Estate is tucked away like a private retreat in the forest along the Chattahoochee River, this one-of-a-kind, architect-designed home offers a rare blend of natural serenity and refined living. Located in the exclusive Bentwater enclave at the back of Grogans Bluff-home to just 16 estate properties-this contemporary hard coat stucco residence sits on 1.5 acres, creating a peaceful, secluded setting that feels worlds away from the city. Surrounded by mature trees and the soothing presence of nature, the home is designed for both effortless entertaining and quiet relaxation. The open floor plan flows beautifully while still offering distinct, purposeful spaces. A dramatic two-story foyer welcomes you in, leading to the central living room, which is framed by an elegant dining room that seats 12+, a game room with a pool table, and a warm, inviting den. The kitchen is a true showpiece, outfitted with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, including double ovens and a warming drawer. Sleek granite countertops, a designer tile backsplash, a walk-in pantry, and abundant cabinetry combine style and functionality. A butler's pantry connects to the oversized dining room with its striking curved, vaulted ceiling, while an eat-in area and a large private office sit just off the opposite side. Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms and three full baths. The oversized primary suite is a tranquil sanctuary with serene wooded views, a recently renovated spa-like bathroom featuring heated floors, and an expansive custom walk-in closet. The laundry room conveniently connects to the suite and hallway. A guest bedroom with en suite bath sits at the front of the home, while two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath. The thoughtful layout creates a spacious landing overlooking the foyer and living room below. The finished basement expands the living space with a fifth bedroom, full bath, and a large entertainment area, along with generous unfinished space currently used as a workshop. This area offers excellent potential for a sixth bedroom, additional bath, or customized living space. Outdoors, two sets of French doors open to an expansive deck overlooking a flat, wooded backyard-perfect for enjoying the peaceful, forest-like surroundings. A long, private driveway leads to the home, and a three-car garage is conveniently located off the kitchen. Recent updates include a water heater (2020), main floor HVAC (August 2021), and a new roof (2025). While the setting feels like a secluded riverside escape, you're still just minutes from Atlanta's best dining, shopping, and entertainment, with easy access to the interstate for quick trips to Buckhead, Midtown, Downtown, or the airport.
