Property Description

Some homes are built. This one was crafted. Welcome to 516 Kelly Acres Road in Harlem, Georgia Privately tucked away on nearly 8 breathtaking acres, this extraordinary custom estate offers over 4,600 square feet of timeless architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, and the kind of privacy that's becoming increasingly rare. Lovingly designed, meticulously maintained, and offered for the very first time, this is a rare opportunity to become the next steward of this beautiful Columbia County Estate. From the moment you step inside, rich hardwood flooring, thoughtfully curated finishes, and expansive living spaces create an effortless blend of luxury and comfort. The heart of the home is a stunning chef's kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining, complete with generous prep space, custom cabinetry, and a sunny breakfast room overlooking the picturesque acreage. The adjoining Great Room is warm and inviting, anchored by a striking wood-burning fireplace with an authentic wood-burning stove, while the formal dining room provides the perfect setting for memorable gatherings. The main-level owner's retreat is a private sanctuary featuring direct access to its own screened porch--a peaceful place to enjoy your morning coffee while overlooking the surrounding landscape. A dedicated office with custom cabinetry, spacious laundry room, powder bath and beautifully designed living spaces complete the first floor. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a second laundry room, creating the perfect layout for family and guests alike. Outdoor living is woven into every corner of the estate, where both the front and rear screened porches invite you to slow down and savor the beauty of the surrounding countryside. Anchored by a handsome stone wood-burning fireplace, the front porch serves as a gracious outdoor living room--a place to welcome the morning with coffee, gather on cool autumn evenings, or simply watch the seasons unfold across the pasture. Beyond the screened rear porch, an extraordinary custom pavilion centered around a magnificent stacked-stone fireplace and outdoor kitchen creates the ultimate gathering place. Thoughtfully designed for year-round entertaining, it's the kind of space where oyster roasts become annual traditions, football Saturdays stretch late into the evening, holiday celebrations spill effortlessly outdoors, and long summer dinners are enjoyed beneath a canopy of twinkling lights and star-filled skies. Every season offers another reason to gather. It's not simply an outdoor living space--it's where some of life's most cherished memories will be made. Connected by a charming breezeway, the oversized detached garage provides exceptional space and versatility. Above, beautifully finished guest quarters offer endless possibilities as a private guest retreat, executive office, creative studio, fitness space, or secluded home workspace. With nearly 8 acres of privacy, impeccable custom finishes and flexible living spaces, this is far more than a home--it's a lifestyle. Rarely does an estate of this caliber become available. Experience luxury, space, and serenity without compromise. Located in Harlem, where Columbia County's small-town charm, rural beauty, and sense of community remain wonderfully intact, this property offers the peace and privacy of country living while keeping Evans, Augusta, and Fort Gordon within comfortable reach.
