525 N River Road NE

Rome, GA 30161

Framed by the natural beauty of the Oostanaula River and the woodlands of Berry College, this exceptional French Country estate is as remarkable for its setting as it is for its craftsmanship. Extensively renovated and beautifully updated throughout, the home blends timeless architecture with modern comfort while taking full advantage of its breathtaking riverfront surroundings. Set on nearly 10 private acres and encompassing more than 10,000 square feet under roof, the property features cedar shingle siding, heart pine floors, vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings with exposed beams, handcrafted stonework, and nearly 2,800 square feet of covered porches that create a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere. A striking fieldstone masonry fireplace anchors the rear porch, while the home's rear-facing windows are thoughtfully positioned to capture panoramic river and woodland views from nearly every room. The dramatic two-story great room is highlighted by a vaulted tongue-and-groove ceiling with exposed beams, a stunning fieldstone masonry fireplace, custom built-ins, and a wall of French doors that showcase the spectacular views. The main-level owner’s suite is a private sanctuary featuring a vaulted ceiling, heated bathroom floors, a soaking tub, dual bathrooms, two custom walk-in closets, and a shared walk-through slate shower. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen is appointed with Wolf and Miele appliances, a generous island, walk-in pantry, breakfast area, and an adjoining keeping room with a soaring beamed ceiling and stone fireplace. Designed for entertaining, the terrace level features an 800-bottle climate-controlled custom wine cellar, custom wet bar, billiards area, private theater, expansive recreation room with covered patio access, exposed brick accents, a spacious office, flexible guest suite or fitness room, safe room, and a second laundry room with a kitchenette and adjoining full bath thoughtfully designed to serve the outdoor living areas and a future pool. A separately metered guest residence above the six-car garage provides exceptional flexibility with its own private office, bedroom, full bath, living area, kitchenette, and abundant custom storage. The grounds are every bit as impressive as the home itself. Bluestone patios and walkways, a bocce court, a greenhouse, fenced organic vegetable garden, fenced orchard featuring organic apple, peach, pear, and blueberry plantings, and a charming chicken coop and run create an outdoor environment equally suited for entertaining, gardening, recreation, and everyday enjoyment. An irrigation system helps maintain the beautifully landscaped grounds, while utilities are already in place to accommodate a future pool, allowing the next owner to further customize the estate. With open, usable acreage, the property offers the potential to create a private equestrian retreat or boutique hobby farm. Located in the exclusive North River Farms community, residents enjoy approximately 75 acres of recreational property, a stocked fishing lake, scenic walking and biking trails, and a lakeside clubhouse. Just minutes from historic downtown Rome, a short drive to the local airport, and less than 90 minutes from Atlanta, this estate offers convenient access to one of Northwest Georgia's most vibrant communities, celebrated for its local dining, boutique shopping, golf, tennis, pickleball, and an extensive network of hiking and cycling trails. An exceptional riverfront estate where timeless design, modern luxury, and an extraordinary natural setting come together to create a lifestyle that is impossible to duplicate.
