Tired of seeing the same builder-basic floor plan over and over again? This home is definitely not another copy-paste floor plan from the cookie-cutter catalog. If you’re craving something unique, private, and full of character—Seldom Seen Acres delivers. Located on 5 serene acres in the heart of Hickory Flat, this custom Cape Cod-style home was once the residence of renowned Georgia oil painter Damon Carter and offers a rare blend of comfort and creativity. With a fresh third-party appraisal on file, it’s priced right at value for today’s market with the added bonus of NO HOA! A perk test has been completed, and records are available for those looking to potentially subdivide off 2 acres of the land in the future.
A gated, tree-lined driveway leads you to this natural, light-filled move-in ready home featuring hickory hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and fresh paint inside and out. The heart of the home is a vaulted great room with a striking stacked-stone fireplace, dining area with room for a 12+ seat dining table, and panoramic views of the Jr. Olympic saltwater pool. The adjacent kitchen shines with Calacatta quartz countertops, warm wood cabinetry, and updated lighting.

The main-level primary suite features a bay window, custom walk-in closet, and a 2025-renovated ensuite. Upstairs offers a loft, a bedroom with three closets, full bath remodeled in 2025, and a second oversized bedroom—formerly Damon Carter’s art studio—with a private entrance, wet bar, and endless possibilities for a bedroom suite, office, or creative space. The finished, daylight terrace level (updated in 2022) offers two more bedrooms, a full bath, family room, and office/flex options. Outside, enjoy a 20×40 Jr. Olympic saltwater pool, waterfall, and LED lighting. This property also includes an oversized two-car garage (with space for large trucks or a workshop), RV/ATV parking, and multiple fenced areas for gardening or pets. Located just minutes to Milton and Alpharetta, shopping, and dining—yet completely tucked away from it all—this home is also zoned for top-rated schools: Avery Elementary, Creekland Middle, and Creekview High. Per seller, Cherokee County has plans to pave and widen Seldom Seen Trail.
