2540 Appaloosa Trail SW Marietta GA 30064 MLS #7688441

A rare offering in the heart of Cobb, this 5-acre estate delivers the privacy, presence, and possibilities typically reserved for a countryside retreat, yet sits just minutes from everyday conveniences. The land itself is the star: five flat, open, usable acres surrounded by mature landscaping — ideal for equestrian pursuits, homesteading, a hobby farm, or simply enjoying unmatched space and privacy. With nearly 5,000 square feet of living space, a resort-style pool complex, multiple outbuildings, and room to expand, this is a true legacy property — the kind that rarely becomes available and only reveals its full value once you arrive at the long, tree-lined drive. Whether you envision pastures, gardens, animals, or additional structures, this property offers true potential to become a self-sustaining, personal estate with room to grow.

A grand covered front porch, wide and welcoming, sets a picture-perfect first impression — a classic rocking-chair setting you’d expect from a true Southern home. Inside, hardwood floors sweep across the main level, where the renovated kitchen features quartz counters, stainless-steel appliances, and updated cabinetry, anchored by a butler’s pantry that leads to a banquet-sized dining room seating 12+. The kitchen also opens directly to a large patio overlooking the pool, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. A formal living room flanks the entry for elevated entertaining or a private home office. Overnight guests will appreciate a main-level bedroom with its own screened-in porch overlooking the pool.

Upstairs, new carpet ushers you into a grand primary suite with a fireside sitting area, expansive walk-in closet, and spa-style bath with double vanities and dedicated makeup counter. An additional ensuite bedroom and two more bedrooms connected by an updated Jack-and-Jill bath create an ideal layout for family or long-term guests.

The terrace level expands the home’s flexibility with a walk-out living area, full kitchenette/bar with appliances, an additional room perfect for a second office, gym, hobby space, or guest suite, plus generous unfinished storage.

Car enthusiasts and hobbyists will especially appreciate the property’s garage setup: an attached two-car garage equipped with a Tesla EV charger, plus a separate detached garage with an attic above — ideal for additional vehicle storage, a workshop, or a dedicated space for collectors.

Outdoor living is next-level. The centerpiece of the grounds is the in-ground gunite pool with recently upgraded equipment, paired with a separate pool house with a full bath — perfect for entertaining, weekend gatherings, or future multigenerational living. Multiple outbuildings provide endless options for projects, collections, equestrian facilities, greenhouse cultivation, detached garages, and true hobby-farm infrastructure.

Critical updates have already been handled: brand-new architectural roofs on all four structures, recently serviced HVAC systems, a new water heater, and fresh interior paint for peace of mind.

What truly sets this property apart is the lifestyle it allows — rural serenity without sacrificing convenience. You are only one mile to Target and Publix and 10 minutes to historic Marietta Square, home to restaurants, theaters, shopping, festivals, and year-round events.

Grand, private, versatile, and virtually impossible to replicate… 2540 Appaloosa Trail is more than a home — it’s an opportunity to create a personal trophy estate in one of Cobb County’s most coveted settings. Perfect for the buyer who wants land, luxury, and limitless potential.
