Runaway Acres is a one-of-a-kind 26 acre estate located in Forsyth County, Georgia, just outside Gainesville and near the shores of Lake Lanier. Offering an impressive combination of a large residence, equestrian and livestock improvements, open land, mature hardwoods, and extensive upgrades, this property provides tremendous flexibility for a private estate, horse or livestock farm, or multi-generational living. The main residence offers more than 5,600 square feet with 6 bedrooms, 6 full bathrooms, and 2 half bathrooms. The home features two spacious primary suites, multiple large living areas, and plenty of room for family and guests. A recently partially finished basement adds additional usable space and includes a substantial storm shelter/safe room. An additional living area provides an excellent setup for a mother-in-law suite or multi-generational living, complete with another primary suite, living room, kitchen, and additional private space. The home also features a recently updated swimming pool that is supplied by well water. Another major feature of the property is its extensive solar power system, which is capable of producing excess electricity that can be sold back to the power grid. The property is also equipped with two electric vehicle charging stations. The 26 acres offer a beautiful mix of open fenced paddocks and mature hardwood timber. A producing pecan orchard adds another unique feature, while a small stream runs through the property. Multiple trails provide access throughout the acreage and are well suited for horseback riding, ATVs, and enjoying the property. Runaway Acres is also well equipped for horses and livestock. The property includes a six-stall barn with a feed room, tack room, bathroom, and heated outdoor wash rack. The barn also features a 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment, providing additional living space for guests, family, or a farm manager. A round pen and multiple fenced paddocks provide plenty of room for horses or livestock, and the paddocks are supplied by their own well water system. Located just outside Gainesville, near Lake Lanier, and less than an hour from Downtown Atlanta, Runaway Acres offers convenient access to the northern Atlanta metro while maintaining the privacy and space of a large country property. With its substantial residence, additional living quarters, equestrian and livestock facilities, energy upgrades, pool, orchard, and 26 acres, this is a unique property with a wide range of possibilities.
