FREE BIRD’S NEST The Milton estate of Gary Rossington, Lynyrd Skynyrd’s legendary guitarist, is officially on the market, listed at $12M. Encompassing a main and a guest house, two barns and a private lake complete with two boat docks, this park-like estate boasts road frontage to both Freemanville Road and Birmingham Road, scenic views and access to nature and wildlife, with plenty of privacy and recreational space. Nestled on a total of 80+/- acres (including the lake), it promises an unrivaled living experience. Surrounded by mature trees and forest, the property has two versatile barns ready for storage or conversion into animal spaces. Two docks (one covered with two slips and another floating) provide direct access to the spring- and creek-fed lake that teems with major fish varieties. The meticulous landscaping and hardscaping include a built-in saltwater pool and spa with a waterfall. An incredible natural waterfall behind the house, adorned with large boulders, relaxes the senses. Sunlight spills through abundant windows onto gleaming hardwood floors throughout the interior of the elegant five-bedroom, five- and one-half-bathroom main house. Commencing with a two-story entrance foyer flanked by a formal dining room and a study, the main level showcases a timeless, refined quality. Straight ahead, at the opposite end of the fireside great room, French doors offer direct access to a sweeping back deck with a fire pit, complemented by string lights and stairs leading to the inviting backyard pool area. The eat-in kitchen, complete with professional-grade appliances and a light-filled breakfast nook beneath a vaulted ceiling, opens to the warm fireside family room. It offers breathtaking views of the pool and the lake beyond. Additional conveniences include a screened porte cochère that connects to the au pair suite above the two-car garage and plenty of private decks throughout that extend the living space outdoors. The entire collection of Lynyrd Skynyrd memorabilia has been relocated to a forthcoming museum. Retreat to the main level owner’s suite—a haven of comfort—with a sitting area and a spa-inspired bathroom featuring dual vanities, a personal grooming area, a fully tiled walk-in shower with bench seating and a separate garden bathtub. Upstairs, three well-appointed bedrooms—one en suite, two with a Jack and Jill bathroom—ensure independence and efficiency. Downstairs, the terrace level provides a beautifully finished area for entertainment and relaxation. Featuring a built-in wet bar, a game/billiard area, a cozy fireplace and a full bathroom, it offers a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living and abundant natural light. The guest house is a fully finished three-level retreat. The upper level features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, while the lower level includes an additional bedroom and a full bathroom. More than just a home, 1801 Birmingham is a retreat for every day. Experience luxury, privacy and natural beauty, all within reach of Alpharetta's finest amenities.
