Description

THIS WOODED RETREAT HAS A CREEK FEATURE WITH A TRANQUIL DECK TO ENJOY YOUR LITTLE PIECE OF NATURE... More than a home, this is a private retreat designed for the way people really want to live. Think peaceful mornings surrounded by nature, evenings with family and friends, and everyday life that feels like an escape. Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Cherokee County, this 2.58-acre wooded property is part of Dawson Creek: an estate lot subdivision where every home sits on several acres, with plenty of breathing room between neighbors. It brings together architectural character, refined craftsmanship, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living. And with no HOA, it feels worlds away from the everyday. Inside, nearly 4,000 square feet unfolds beneath soaring ceilings and a d ramatic two-story wall of windows. Natural light fills the home and frames the surrounding woods. A striking see-through gas fireplace connects the living room, dining area, and open kitchen, creating a main level that works just as well for quiet evenings as it does for entertaining. The floor plan also includes a private owner's suite on the main level, adding everyday convenience and comfort. One distinctive feature is the professionally designed wine cellar, complete with commercial-grade refrigeration and custom racking for about 1,800 bottles. It's beautifully finished, purpose-built, and reflects the attention to detail found throughout the property. Even for buyers who don't collect wine, it's a striking, climate-controlled space that adapts easily to display or storage. Downstairs, the terrace level adds even more living space, including a bedroom, a recreation room, a custom bar, and a full bath, along with direct access outside. Step out onto the covered outdoor living area, where waterproof underdecking keeps it weather-protected, so you get more usable outdoor space all year round. The lifestyle continues outdoors. Multiple gathering spots, including a pergola and fire pit, sit along winding pathways beneath a mature tree canopy. The landscaping is professionally designed, with underground irrigation throughout the property, so the natural wooded setting stays beautiful with minimal upkeep. At the back of the property, an elevated walkway winds through the woods to a private deck overlooking the creek, a quiet spot tucked right into the natural surroundings. A greenhouse with electricity and water, plus a few tranquil fountains, add even more character to the grounds. And the fully fenced backyard gives you privacy, whether it's a quiet morning alone or an evening with guests. There's practical luxury here too. Two separate garages give you room for multiple vehicles, collector cars, a workshop, or extra storage. A centrally monitored security system, professional landscaping, and full-property irrigation take care of the details and keep maintenance simple. And again, there's no HOA, so the property is entirely yours to enjoy. 551 Gold Rush Court is more than a beautifully appointed residence. It's a finished lifestyle: spaces built for everyday living, for entertaining, and for enjoying the natural surroundings. If you're looking for privacy, architectural distinction, and real indoor-outdoor living, this move-in-ready property offers something that's getting harder and harder to find. Select furnishings are available by separate agreement. Showings are by appointment only.
