A Tara Trail Estate Made for Living in Buckhead’s Luxury Market

You don’t realize how rare this kind of property is until you’re standing there. Set along one of North Buckhead’s most established residential streets, this Tara Trail estate offers a rare combination of privacy and thoughtfully designed living. Surrounded by acres of protected woodland, the property feels removed from the city, but is only minutes from Buckhead’s dining, schools, and cultural destinations.

“One of the things that makes this property so special is the land,” says realtor, Jan Hart. You don’t see neighbors, and you don’t hear traffic. That level of privacy is very hard to find in this location of Buckhead.”

Originally sold as a teardown in 2015, the property was reimagined by Mark Ferguson of Mark Anthony Homes as a fully custom estate, designed with a focus on craftsmanship and livability. A gated, circular driveway introduces the residence, framed by manicured grounds by Ed Castro Landscaping.

In total, the estate spans approximately 14,954 square feet, including the four-car garage and guest house, and offers eight bedrooms, nine full baths, and three half baths across the property. 

Inside, the home opens up to wide hallways, generous ceiling heights, and an abundance of natural light. Just off the entry, a formal study offers a quiet, richly detailed space that feels equally suited for focused work or a moment of retreat. Across the hall, the dining room makes a striking impression, featuring custom hand-painted walls that add depth and character without overwhelming the space. Hand-painted wrought iron finishes appear throughout the home, adding another layer of craftsmanship to railings and architectural details.

“Every space was designed with intention,” says Jan. “Nothing feels tight or overlooked. The home is grand in scale, but it’s also incredibly comfortable to live in.”

The main living level is anchored by an expansive chef’s kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Appointed with Sub-Zero, Wolf, Bosch, and Scotsman appliances, the kitchen features an oversized island and a dedicated scullery, allowing for seamless hosting and catering. Adjacent living and keeping rooms extend the gathering space, all overlooking the private backyard and pool. In total, the home features seven fireplaces, including two located on screened outdoor porches, keeping you warm throughout the winter months. 

The primary suite is located on the main level and serves as a private retreat within the home. A spacious sitting area, a spa-style bath with a steam shower, a wet bar, and a dedicated laundry room add to the suite’s functionality, while direct access to an outdoor terrace offers views of the pool and the surrounding landscape. Upstairs, additional en suite bedrooms feature built-out closets with ample storage, along with a large bonus room offering flexible use. 

The terrace level further enhances the home’s livability, offering a custom bar, theater, fireplace lounge, gym with pool views, steam shower with aromatherapy, and additional bedroom and office spaces. An elevator connects all levels of the residence, ensuring ease of access throughout.

Outdoor living is a defining feature of the property. A heated saltwater pool and spa are framed by covered porches, outdoor fireplaces, and a grilling and bar area designed for year-round enjoyment. Beyond the landscaped grounds, acres of protected woodland provide lasting privacy and a quiet setting rarely found this close to the city.

The three-story brick guest house mirrors the quality and craftsmanship of the main residence. Complete with a full kitchen, living and dining areas, multiple bedrooms, and direct access to the pool, it functions as a true secondary residence, ideal for extended family or long-term guests.

Additional features include a whole-property generator serving both the main house and guest house, pre-wiring for four electric vehicle chargers in the oversized four-car garage, multiple laundry rooms throughout the home, and recently refreshed finishes inside and out.

This Tara Trail estate offers a level of scale and privacy available in North Buckhead. Carefully designed and meticulously maintained, the property combines custom craftsmanship, generous living spaces, and a setting defined by protected land and mature surroundings. It is a residence built not only to impress, but to live in, now and for years to come.

Listing Price: $6.25 million.
