5 Luxury Georgia Homes from Mountain Retreats to Coastal Living

Set on more than 19 acres in Ellenwood, this full brick, custom-built residence offers the rare combination of room to gather and true seclusion. A winding drive leads you home, where a saltwater heated pool invites an easy exhale at the end of the day. Outdoor living is thoughtfully layered, from a huge deck to a screened porch—both oriented to take in the quiet sweep of the property and its total privacy. Inside, there’s plenty of space for entertaining, while the finished basement creates flexibility for a teen hangout or an in-law suite. Despite the sense of retreat, daily life stays connected: the home is close to schools, shopping, and restaurants, with the airport less than 30 minutes away. Evenings here naturally drift outdoors.

From its private, wooded setting in Big Canoe, 19 Summit Drive pairs Buckhead-style refinement with the ease of resort living in one of North Georgia’s best-known mountain communities. Beautifully updated, the residence feels intentionally set apart, with golf course and mountain views that bring the landscape into daily life. Even with its quiet backdrop, the location keeps you close to the rhythm of the community—just minutes from the Big Canoe clubhouse, golf courses, lakes, and trails. It’s an elegant yet relaxed place to land, equally suited to full-time living or a weekend retreat, where mornings can begin with a walk outdoors and afternoons can unfold around the amenities that make Big Canoe a destination.

On a quiet street in Township Bluff on Saint Simons Island, this one-level Ranch-style residence is designed for easy daily living with a thoughtful split floor plan. Four spacious bedrooms offer flexibility, including a primary suite plus an additional large bedroom that could function as a secondary primary. Two smaller bedrooms share a full bath, while the other two bedrooms each enjoy ensuite full baths—an arrangement that balances togetherness with privacy. The primary bath reads like a personal retreat, finished with dual vanities, a soaking tub, a separate spacious shower, and a generous walk-in closet. At the center, an open-concept living area connects kitchen, dining, and a cozy living room anchored by a fireplace. A breakfast bar in the well-appointed kitchen sets a natural spot for mornings and casual gatherings.

On Villager Drive in Saint Simons Island’s mid-island setting, this residence balances everyday ease with flexible space. The primary suite is on the ground floor, complete with an ensuite bath and walk-in closet, while upstairs can be configured as four bedrooms or reimagined with one or two offices alongside sleeping space. Hardwood floors anchor the main level, where an open fireplace and built-in bookshelves create a natural gathering point. A kitchen bar seats four, and main-floor laundry keeps routines streamlined. Outdoors, a private, low-maintenance paver backyard pairs with a screened-in sitting area, plus a shed and a large propane tank serving indoor and outdoor fireplaces. Practical storage continues in the two-car garage with heavy-duty shelving and attic space, complemented by two driveway spots. Nearby parks, ponds, Village Creek Landing, Sea Palms Golf, and Harris Teeter keep island days close to home.

In the heart of Norcross, this four-story townhome in The Seven Norcross pairs modern design with the ease of a private elevator.

Four bedrooms, four full baths, and a half bath create flexible space for family, guests, or work-from-home needs, while upper levels offer quieter retreats when the day winds down. For fresh air and a change of pace, a rooftop terrace and an additional balcony extend life outdoors. Practical comforts round out the experience, including a two-car garage, recently updated HVAC, and a tankless water heater for added efficiency. Set within a walkable, low-maintenance community close to shops, parks, and year-round events, it supports a simpler, more connected routine.
