1891 Sam Snead Drive

Tucked behind the gates of Chateau Elan's most prestigious enclave, The Legends, this extraordinary European-inspired estate is a rare offering where architectural grandeur meets resort-style living.

Set on a private 1.47-acre homesite, the property commands attention from the moment you arrive -- framed by a sweeping motor court, manicured landscaping, and a timeless stone-and-brick facade. The expansive covered front porch sets the tone for what awaits inside: a light-filled, impeccably designed residence that balances elegance with warmth.

A grand open staircase, soaring windows, rich hardwood floors, and a gallery-style procession of crystal chandeliers create an unforgettable sense of arrival. The foyer is flanked by a formal dining room with butler's pantry and a richly paneled study with fireplace and French doors.

At the heart of the home, the remodeled chef's kitchen is a showpiece -- featuring custom white cabinetry, quartz countertops, Viking appliances, oversized island with seating and mixing station, coffee bar, designer lighting, exposed wood beams, a large walk-in pantry, and a fireside keeping room. The adjoining breakfast room and covered rear porch with fireplace extend the living space outdoors, overlooking the private backyard oasis.

The great room features a coffered ceiling, custom built-ins, fireplace, and dramatic backyard views -- ideal for both everyday living and elegant entertaining.

The main-level owner's suite is a private retreat, while three ensuite bedrooms upstairs and a large bonus/flex room offer exceptional accommodations for family and guests. A rear staircase provides easy access to both levels.

The finished terrace level rivals a private resort, featuring:

Full home gym with dual showers and dry sauna

Fireside lounge and billiards area

Custom bar with kitchenette

Guest suite

Additional laundry

Flex space and abundant storage

An elevator shaft is already in place, offering future three-level access.

Outdoors, enjoy an oversized pool and spa, fire pit, expansive lawn, and private setting -- perfect for entertaining, recreation, and relaxation. Additional highlights include a rare six-car garage, upgraded exterior lighting with dramatic uplighting, sprinkler system, recent exterior repainting, and Tesla charger (included).

Living in The Legends means access to one of the Southeast's most prestigious private clubs -- featuring a capped membership for optimal tee-time availability and an 18-hole championship course designed by golf legends Gene Sarazen, Sam Snead, and Kathy Whitworth. Membership also includes the Sports Club with tennis courts, Junior Olympic pool with kiddie pool and snack bar, playground, fitness center, athletic fields, and year-round social events.

Beyond golf, Chateau Elan offers a world-class winery, resort, inn, and spa with fine dining, nightlife, and entertainment. The community is golf-cart friendly with access to Braselton's LifePath.
