I hear roosters when I pull up to this house. Not what you expect 42 miles north of Atlanta, but that's the thing about finding land out here, you get space, privacy, and a backyard that stretches so far back I can't see the property line from the covered patio. This isn't Alpharetta or Brookhaven. You're trading the walkable downtown vibe and the Lenox Square Mall commute for 2 acres of wooded quiet, a fenced yard big enough for animals or a pool house, and a brand-new 6,789-square-foot home that somehow still feels like a place you'd actually live in, not a showroom you tiptoe through.

The price is $1,450,000. For almost 7,000 square feet of finished space, main-floor living with a primary suite and guest bedroom downstairs, and enough land to add a gate at the entrance if you want it, that number makes sense. You won't find new construction with this much acreage close to the city. You also won't find a layout this thoughtful in most spec homes twice the size, two laundry rooms, a scullery with Cafe appliances, closets built out floor to ceiling, and a Jack and Jill bathroom upstairs that's as nice as the primary. I love this house. Let me show you why.

Inside a 6,789 Sq Ft New Construction Home in Hoschton, GA

The front doors are aluminum, heavy, and they sound expensive when you open them. You step into a two-story foyer with a grand staircase, spindles I stopped to admire, and windows climbing up the second level that let in so much light the space doesn't need furniture to feel finished. The molding is everywhere, arches over doorways, trim along the ceiling, details that make the house feel elegant without trying too hard. White oak hardwood floors run through the entire first level, solid underfoot, the kind of quality you notice when you walk barefoot through an empty house.

To the right of the foyer is a butler's pantry with space for glassware and wine bottles, then a full scullery behind it. This is your second kitchen. Cafe appliances, a Forno vent hood, a dishwasher, and a refrigerator in addition to the double refrigerator in the main kitchen. I have clients who cook for big families or host often, and they always ask for a prep kitchen. This one has the cabinetry built to the ceiling, tilt-and-turn windows (same as I have in my house, great for noise reduction and easy to clean), and enough counter space that you could stage an entire Thanksgiving meal back here and never touch the main island.

The main kitchen is anchored by a huge waterfall-edge island with quartz countertops that have gold veining running through them. Tons of drawers underneath, cabinetry to the ceiling, a pot filler over the range, and a little griddle built into the cooktop. The farmhouse sink faces the backyard, and when you're standing there doing dishes, all you see is green, trees, grass, privacy. The dining area sits right next to the kitchen with another alabaster light fixture overhead (I've started using alabaster in my own house; it gives off such a soft, warm glow), and the slider to the covered patio is frameless glass, wide open, no fussy panes blocking the view. I tested that door. It slides so easily I could open it with one hand, no struggle, just smooth.

The outdoor living space has a vaulted ceiling, brick floors, a gas grill hookup, and enough room for a full outdoor kitchen and seating area. You've got electrical outlets for a TV, a big ceiling fan, and then this massive fenced backyard that I can't even measure from where I'm standing. The lot is 2 acres. You could add a pool, a pool house, an ADU, or just let your animals run. I don't know how far back the property line extends, but it feels endless. If you've been looking for new construction with land and privacy, this is hard to find. Most neighborhoods pack homes close together. This one gives you space.

Back inside, the primary suite is on the main floor. Double doors open into a bedroom with a vaulted ceiling, alabaster sconces on either side of the bed (with little switches so you can turn them off without getting up, I did this in my house and I love it), and another set of double doors that lead straight to the covered patio. If you have a dog that sleeps with you, you just open those doors in the morning and let them out. The primary bathroom has backlit mirrors, warm wood-tone vanities, rectangle sinks, brushed brass fixtures, and a fully enclosed shower with three knobs (rain head, handheld, and body spray). I'm not a rain head person, I feel like I'm drowning, but tell me in the comments if you love them. There's a bench in the shower, fluted tile on the walls, and frameless glass doors.

The primary closet is the kind of space that makes me jealous every time I tour a house like this. It's built out to optimize every square inch, rods for hanging, drawers for accessories, shelves for shoes and bags, an alabaster chandelier in the center, and adjustable warm-tone LED can lights that you can dim or brighten depending on the time of day. Every can light in this house does that, and it's a detail I didn't expect in a spec build. You walk out of the closet and you're in the laundry room, which connects directly to the primary suite. Do your laundry, hang it up, put it away, no hauling baskets up and down stairs.

There's a second bedroom on the main floor, or you could use it as an office. It's the smallest bedroom in the house (the upstairs rooms are ridiculously large), but it has a full bathroom with a frameless shower door and fluted tile. If you have an older family member who needs to stay on the first floor, or if you want main-floor living as you age, this layout works. You won't age out of this house. You can live entirely on the first floor and never go upstairs if you don't need to.

Upstairs, there's a second laundry room with tons of storage, shelves for towels, rods for hanging things that need to dry, and a big storage closet next to it. Then you've got four bedrooms plus a loft. The first two bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom, and I have not seen a secondary bathroom this pretty before. Fluted soaking tub, tile everywhere, spa-like stone flooring, double vanities, it's as nice as the primary bathroom downstairs. Both bedrooms are a good size with tall ceilings and closets that are fully finished and built out.

The third bedroom is huge with an ensuite bathroom (frameless shower, wood-look tile, fancy electric toilet, big closet), and then there's a fourth room that I don't even know what to call. It's massive. You could make it a bedroom for multiple kids, a home gym, an office, I might do a gym slash office because you don't need it as a movie room when you have the loft. The loft is your second living room, your movie room, your party space. It's enormous. If you like to entertain, you could have a huge gathering up here and not run out of room.

Every door in this house is solid core. The hardware is substantial. The baseboards are tall even on the second floor. The windows are tilt-and-turn. The garage has an epoxy floor (one less thing you have to do when you move in, I did it in my house and I love it), a tankless water heater, and space for three cars plus a side entry. There's a mudroom with built-ins, a powder room on the main floor with an electric toilet and a backlit mirror, and a huge coat closet near the front door that I was eyeing as a spot for my dog's toys.

This house has been on the market for about 18 days. It's brand new, never lived in, and priced at $1,450,000 for 6,789 square feet, 4 bedrooms plus a loft, 6 bathrooms, and 2 acres of land. You're 55 minutes from Lenox Mall if you want to head into Atlanta for fancy shopping or dinner, but there are cute historic downtown areas within 10 minutes for local dining. Jump on I-85 and head south 15 minutes, and you're at Mall of Georgia with Costco, Target, and all your big-box shopping. You're not isolated, but you're also not hearing your neighbors or looking at their backyard through your kitchen window.

Which Buyer Is This House Built For?

This is a house for someone who wants space but doesn't want to feel like they're rattling around in a museum. It's almost 7,000 square feet, but the layout keeps you connected, you can stand in the middle of the first floor and see the kitchen, the dining area, the living room, the backyard. It feels homey. I think it's the flow. You're not walking down long hallways to get from one room to another. Everything is open but still defined.

If you're relocating to Atlanta from out of state and you want new construction with land, this is one of the few options that gives you both without making you drive an hour and a half to find it. You're 42 miles north of the city, which sounds far until you realize you're 15 minutes from major shopping and 10 minutes from local restaurants. You're also getting main-floor living, which matters if you're thinking long-term. A lot of buyers tell me, "Tanya, I want to downsize but not that much," or "Tanya, I want a private wooded lot but I still want to be close to things." This house checks both boxes.

The trade-off is the commute. If you're working in Buckhead or Midtown five days a week, 55 minutes each way is going to wear on you. But if you're working from home, semi-retired, or only going into the office a couple of days a week, the drive is manageable. You're also giving up walkability. There's no downtown district you can stroll to from this house. You're driving to dinner, driving to the grocery store, driving to the mall. That's the reality of living on 2 acres in a less dense area.

What you're gaining is privacy, a fenced yard big enough for animals or a pool, and a backyard that feels like it goes on forever. You could add a gate at the entrance and make this a true private estate. You could build an ADU or a pool house and still have room left over. You could let your kids or your dogs run without worrying about traffic or neighbors. You're also getting a house that's finished, hardwood floors, built-out closets, epoxy garage floor, outdoor living space with brick floors and a vaulted ceiling. You're not moving in and immediately making a punch list of upgrades.

If you're downsizing from a larger home but you still want space for guests, a home office, and a gym, this layout works. If you're upsizing and you want a house that can grow with you (kids, aging parents, future needs) the main-floor bedroom and bathroom give you flexibility. If you're relocating to Atlanta and you want to feel like you're in the country without actually being in the country, this is it. You hear roosters when you pull up, but you're still just 15 minutes from Costco, with convenient access to dining, shopping, and everyday essentials. It's that mix of a peaceful, more rural setting with the convenience of having what you need close by.

Conclusion

I love this house. I love the staircase, the light fixtures, the backyard, the closet in the primary suite, and the Jack and Jill bathroom upstairs that's nicer than most primary bathrooms I've seen. I love that you can live entirely on the first floor if you want to, and I love that the house is big enough to entertain but still feels like a home, not a hotel. It's elegant without being stuffy, detailed without being overdone, and priced well for what you're getting.
