Introducing The Massee Post Estate, a remarkable 72+/- acre property that epitomizes luxury and rural charm. Located just 7 miles east of Interstate 75 and the quaint town of Sparks, Georgia, this property is an ideal retreat for those seeking a peaceful place to call home. The centerpiece is a stunning 6,700+/- sq. ft. custom-built home, surrounded by lush landscaping, Bermuda grass fields, and dense forests along the southern and eastern borders. Crafted with attention to detail and the highest quality materials, this home features 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and 3 half bathrooms. A 3-car garage with an adjacent carport provides ample parking. Upon entering through the front door, the grand foyer welcomes you with a curving staircase and a radiant chandelier. To the left is the formal dining room, and to the right, the formal living room. A few steps forward lead to the enormous great room, offering views through both the front and back windows—a truly unique space.
For the culinary enthusiast, the massive kitchen is sure to impress with endless custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a butler’s pantry, and a huge walk-in pantry with ample storage. Beyond the pantry, you’ll find a secondary storage room that doubles as a fortified storm room for safety during major weather events. Adjacent to the kitchen is an expansive dining area with vaulted ceilings and large windows overlooking the backyard, as well as a spacious sitting area perfect for lounging while meals are prepared. A hallway off the grand foyer leads to the owner’s suite, a large office space, and two guest bedrooms. The owner’s suite is a private sanctuary, featuring a unique custom ceiling design, a built-in kitchenette/coffee bar with a sink and mini fridge, and everything you need within a few steps. The suite also includes a spare room, a half bathroom, and a screened-in porch, providing flexible space for an exercise room, yoga studio, art studio, home theater, or whatever you desire.
The owner’s suite bathroom is equally impressive, with a large walk-in shower, soaking tub with jets, individual vanities, and a private toilet room. The dressing area features more built-in drawers, and the spacious his-and-hers walk-in closets offer ample room for organization. Upstairs, you’ll find two guest bedrooms and a full bathroom. A friend’s entry door leads to the laundry room, conveniently located off the kitchen area. Off the garage, a stairwell leads to a second upstairs space that can be used as a game room or apartment, complete with a skylight and a solar tube for natural light in the bathroom.
The house is equipped with a 500-gallon in-ground propane tank that fuels the kitchen stove, two indoor fireplaces, standby generator, and an outdoor firepit. For added security during storms and power outages, a 35KW standby Generac home generator is ready to activate the moment the home loses power. Outside, a large back porch and patio area, along with a stone fire pit, create the perfect setting for hosting friends and family. One of the home’s standout features is the encapsulated crawl space with dehumidifiers, making access under the house easy while significantly reducing electricity consumption.
The surrounding 29+/- acres of Bermuda grass are currently used for hay production but would also make an ideal pasture for horses or livestock. The land is irrigated by five field risers supplied by two sources: a small pond along the southern border of the property and a 1.5+/- acre pond near the center. Each pond is equipped with a 6” Z-pipe. Property improvements include a 480+/- SF enclosed and insulated steel shop with a porch and lean-to, a 150’ x 60’ steel shelter perfect for farm equipment storage, and a 100’ x 100’ enclosed steel shelter with three roll-up doors on each end. Adjacent to the 100’ x 100’ shelter is a two-bay concrete loading dock, enhancing the productivity of any operation.
For hunting enthusiasts and nature lovers alike, 28+/- acres of woodland provide an excellent habitat for wildlife, with regular sightings of whitetail deer and the occasional turkey. A 16.5+/- acre stand of 19-year-old planted slash pines offers immediate income potential, as they are ripe for thinning or harvesting.
