KNIGHT ROAD
MARIETTA
Unique. Enchanting. Contemplative. A garden paradise to awaken the senses and a monument to the cultivation of beautiful, growing things, 3550 Knight Road is a place to nurture the nature within and without. Just 13+/- miles outside the Perimeter, set on 9+/- acres, this stunning Zen sanctuary with a dash of Mediterranean flair is a place to connect to who and what is truly important, to lose track of time and find elements of life that often go missing because there is simply no space for them.
Rediscover the space here, in the midst of a love letter to horticultural excellence that has been featured on the Cobb County Master Gardeners Annual Garden Tour, a collection of 10 contemplative gardens connected by meandering walking and riding trails accented with in-season blooms, water features, stone benches and reflective seating areas. 108 irrigation zones sourced from two on-site wells (400’ and 350’ respectively) keep the gardens lush and watered, and three separate mosquito control systems ward off unwanted pests. Apart from ornamental pines, the property is entirely comprised of hardwood trees, and the extensive landscaping includes 43 Japanese maples, over 600 azaleas and 175 hydrangeas, 28 fruit trees (including olive and fig), a natural creek, three ponds and four waterfalls. Outfitted with 35 moon lights as well as numerous path lights, uplights and 12 Sonos units around the property, the gardens appeal to multiple senses, delighting every one. A luxury playground for both experienced and beginning gardeners alike, the climatecontrolled greenhouse is a functional and aesthetic masterpiece, highlighted by a dramatic two-story water feature and a koi pond.
A collection of unique elements woven together with heaps of heart and personality, this estate is also an absolute dream for animal lovers, with a chicken coop, dog runs and equestrian facilities that include a four-stall stable, a dressage arena and seven paddocks and pastures. Solar panels (capable of producing 30 kilowatt hours of power per month) ensure that powering the property is never an issue, and security cameras scattered throughout along with two security gates allow for ease of care and supervision. Several outbuildings and a detached six-car garage provide ample storage.
Built for entertaining, the property includes a two-story guest house (converted from the original barn) that is perfectly suited for hosting guests or for a separate au pair apartment. The circular pavilionstyle bar accented by stacked stone and pavers is complete with a generous patio space for guests to mingle with mixed cocktails, and there is a detached catering kitchen equipped to handle larger events. A chapel reminiscent of the style found in remote Greek villages is an exquisite setting for intimate celebrations and the regulation-size Bocce ball court adds a distinctive European touch.
The main house was recently re-roofed and re-insulated in 2020 and features an attached two-car garage, an updated kitchen equipped with professional-grade stainless steel appliances, multiple living spaces and a finished basement featuring a home theatre room and a spacious home gym. The adjacent heated Pebble Tec pool offers an 11-foot poolside TV, and the separate pool house features a chef’s kitchen, an impressive bar, a dramatic two-sided stone fireplace and a generous dining area. Located in gorgeous East Cobb County, the estate is convenient to parks, shopping, dining and all that Marietta and Atlanta have to offer.
