Windward Home Believed to be Highest Listing Ever at $5.5 million

A spectacular 15,874,000-square-foot lakefront home in an exclusive gated section of Alpharetta’s Windward community has just come on the market. With a $5.5 million listing price, the home is believed to be Windward’s most expensive listing ever, according to Bobbie Schmitt, associate broker/advisor for Engel & Völkers Buckhead Atlanta, who is the listing agent. “Based on my research, I have not found another Windward home with the features, design and attention to detail that command a $5.5 million price. This home is truly jaw-dropping. It is ideal for entertaining groups from large crowds to intimate family gatherings. And because there is a house manager’s private suite with a separate entrance, the new homeowner will be able to focus his or her time on priorities other than running the household.”

The seven-bedroom, eight-bath (plus three half baths) home is located at 1210 Troon Court, Alpharetta, GA 30005 in the gated Peninsula section of Windward. Upon entering the manicured front entrance, guests are greeted by two sweeping wrought-iron staircases and floor-to-ceiling views through the house to the pool deck and lake beyond. No detail has been omitted, from the marble entrance flooring to the home’s detailed millwork, hardwood floors, outdoor spaces, custom-designed lighting, five fireplaces, two gourmet kitchens, architectural accents and well-positioned windows to showcase the views. The oversized owners’ suite is just one of seven ensuite bedrooms, and features an opulent bathroom and custom-designed closets and vanities. The two-story living room, with its paneled wet bar and adjacent covered deck, are ideal for entertaining, while the family room, theatre and game room are designed for cozier gatherings.

The primary gourmet kitchen includes two islands, copper countertops, custom cabinetry with hidden appliances, two Bosch dishwashers and Sub Zero refrigerators/freezers and a large walk-in pantry. There’s a built-in cappuccino/coffee system, six-burner Viking gas cooktop and three sinks, making cooking a breeze for any size crowd. A second kitchen is located on the Terrace Level, along with a wine storage closet, four-car garage and mudroom entrance with a half bath.

The home was most recently owned by the CEO of an international division of a major telecommunications company. He purchased the home to enjoy with his family, especially his school-age grandsons. After school and on weekends, the family took advantage of the home’s many amenities, including boating on Lake Windward, watching movies in the theatre room, playing in the game room, working out in the gym, dining al fresco, splashing in the heated pool and soaking in the sauna and indoor hot tub. The owner even turned a former porch into an acoustically-ideal music room for a grandson who plays the piano.

The location alone is enough to attract potential homebuyers. The Windward community includes 44 unique neighborhoods in a resort-like setting that includes the 200-acre Lake Windward. Residents enjoy world-class amenities including the privately-owned Windward Lake Club, the private Golf Club of Georgia and numerous sports complexes, parks and ongoing, family-oriented social events.

“There simply aren’t enough superlatives to describe this home,” said Schmitt. “The builders and designers absolutely thought of everything you could want for your family and guests. And, to top it off, this home is superbly situated on beautiful Lake Windward, within the community’s most secure gated location. No wonder the Georgia State Senate passed a resolution calling Windward the “gem” of North Atlanta living”.
