The moment you turn down Old Plantation Road and the canopy of ancient oaks parts to reveal this stately all-brick Colonial -- 5 bed, 5 bath, in-ground pool, on 4.8 private acres -- you feel like you've stepped into a world where the pace finally slows down. This property delivers something increasingly rare: the feeling of a true country estate. It's a lifestyle people dream about and rarely find, where the lawn gets used, the pool gets jumped in, and the land actually gets lived on. Inside, find a newly created mudroom, fully renovated kitchen, great room, and guest suite, all designed for large gatherings and effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining. The arched, dome-like wood ceiling is a genuine showstopper as your eyes follow the open staircase up to the full guest suite above the garage -- currently doubling as the family workout room. The fully finished lower level functions as a complete in-law or secondary suite: bedroom, living room, laundry, and a second kitchen anchored by a custom walnut island that flips into a ping pong table. Just off the downstairs living space, a walk-out exit leads directly to the large brick pool deck. On the upper level, find the owner's suite and two additional bedrooms, plus a fully enclosed sunroom with sweeping views of the backyard. The grounds are the star: a sparkling Gunite pool flanked by mature magnolias, a sweeping open lawn backing to dense natural foliage for total privacy, a hand built chicken coop, and a metal storage building with two roll-up bays. A stone firepit ringed by mature hedging with Adirondack chairs creates an outdoor living room unlike anything in a traditional subdivision. The parking pad pulls double duty as a dedicated pickleball court, and the two-car side-entry garage includes an EV charging station. Beyond the firepit hedge sits a large cleared parcel ready for whatever you envision -- a workshop, guest cottage, garden estate, or simply open land to call your own. The property also boasts massive oak trees that can't be grown in a single lifetime, top-of-the-line appliances including Sub-Zero and Wolf brands, a newer roof, two newer HVAC units, an electronic pool cover with additional equipment for easy maintenance, and abundant storage across four garage bays and two additional utility rooms. Positioned just off I-20, 1053 Old Plantation Road delivers something rare in today's market: a private country estate with the convenience of suburban living. Five minutes to Costco, Publix, Kroger, Dave and Buster's, Top Golf, or Sheila's Bakery, Your Pie, Pink Dipper, Manuel's Café, Cavalier's Coffee, and Carolina Hills Sandwich shop. Enjoy formal dining in downtown Augusta or entertainment at the Bell Auditorium, James Brown Arena, or the Riverwalk Amphitheatre. Less than 30 minutes to Aiken, Evans, Grovetown, Fort Gordon, and 10 min from Downtown Augusta's medical district! This property has been meticulously and thoughtfully maintained, upgraded, and happily lived in. However you live -- this property works. Come see why you should call this place home.
