Few properties can claim this combination: a fully furnished, resort-caliber estate — masterbuilt in 2017 — sitting on 15+ private acres along the Tallapoosa River, with direct access to the water, just 2 miles from I-20 and equidistant between Atlanta and Birmingham. This is not a weekend cabin or a gut renovation project. Every square foot of the 7,451 sq ft Craftsman home, the pool compound, the collector's showroom, and the outdoor sports facilities were designed with intention and built to an extraordinary standard.

This iconic estate could not be rebuilt today at this price. It is offered, fully furnished, to the right buyer as a one-of-a-kind Alabama oasis.

14-Car Showroom

Hidden behind a full-size Browning safe door with coded entry sits one of the most unique rooms in Alabama residential real estate: a private, museum-quality vault designed for the serious collector. Whether your passion is fine firearms, original artwork, rare memorabilia, or all three, this room was purpose-built to display, protect, and impress.

Entry is through a full-size Browning safe door — one of the most trusted names in secure storage. Once inside, the space opens into a curated collector's environment that feels closer to a private gallery than a residential home.
