Welcome to 26 Placer Drive, where beautifully updated interiors, generous living spaces and the Achasta lifestyle come together in one exceptional home! Located in the gated North Georgia mountain community of Achasta, this nearly 5,000-square-foot home offers an inviting, open feel with soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, refinished hardwood floors and wonderful spaces for both everyday living and entertaining.
The main level is designed for easy living, with a spacious primary suite, beautifully updated bath and generous closet space. At the heart of the home is a remodeled kitchen with high-end appliances, plenty of workspace and an easy flow into the surrounding living and gathering areas. Multiple outdoor living spaces, including screened and eze-breeze enclosed porches, extend the home into its peaceful mountain setting, while four fireplaces add warmth and character throughout.
The finished daylight terrace level feels like an extension of the home rather than a basement, offering two additional en-suite bedrooms, a wet bar, exercise room and plenty of room for family and guests. For buyers needing a fourth bedroom, the home's generous floor plan provides an easy opportunity to create one while still maintaining ample living and entertaining space. And for the wine enthusiast, the impressive walk-in, climate-controlled wine cellar is a true showpiece and one of the home's most memorable features.
Outside, the beautifully landscaped yard includes a private fenced area and artificial turf, providing an attractive, low-maintenance space for pets, entertaining or relaxing outdoors. The current owners have invested approximately $292,000 in improvements since December 2024, including the remodeled kitchen and baths, high-end kitchen appliances, refinished hardwood floors, whole-house generator, new water heater, primary-suite mini-split, redesigned laundry/pantry, updated lighting, fencing, landscaping, artificial turf, gutters and fascia, front porch cover and numerous smart-home upgrades. This is a home where so much has already been done—leaving the next owner more time to simply enjoy it.
And then there is Achasta. More than simply a neighborhood, Achasta offers a true North Georgia mountain lifestyle within a gated community centered around a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course and the Chestatee River. Spend the morning on the golf course or pickleball courts, walk the community trails, enjoy the river, meet friends for dinner at the clubhouse, or simply come home and enjoy the beauty and privacy of the mountains. Community amenities include golf, clubhouse dining, swimming, tennis, pickleball, hiking trails and River Park.
All of this is just minutes from the charm of historic downtown Dahlonega, with its restaurants, shops, wineries and year-round events, while still offering the peaceful mountain setting that makes Achasta so special. 26 Placer Drive isn't just a beautifully updated home—it offers the space, flexibility and lifestyle to truly enjoy where you live.
