About this home
Nestled in the rolling hills of Elberton, this extraordinary private estate offers a rare blend of craftsmanship, natural beauty, tranquility, and convenience. Located just five minutes from schools, shopping, dining, and everyday essentials, the property feels worlds away while remaining remarkably accessible. With virtually no through traffic, the home enjoys exceptional privacy and quiet.
The 1.53-acre homesite is further enhanced by more than 20 acres of undeveloped wooded land behind the property, creating a serene and protected setting. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with mature rhododendrons providing natural screening, along with seven varieties of camellias, Japanese maples, and stunning oakleaf hydrangeas offering year-round color and texture. Expansive decks, overlooks, winding walkways, a gazebo, annual gardens, and two greenhouses create an outdoor environment deeply connected to nature.
Built in 1964 by respected builder Dallas Suttles, the home reflects enduring quality, solid construction, and exceptional craftsmanship throughout. Inside, warm and inviting living spaces are filled with natural light and architectural character. Two remarkable sunrooms serve as focal points of the home: The first sunroom adjoins the kitchen and features tile floors, floor-to-ceiling east-facing windows, and a retractable awning that welcomes soft morning light.
The second is a spectacular conservatory-style living space designed for year-round enjoyment, featuring 15-foot cathedral ceilings, exposed heart pine beams, green slate floors, and oversized 9' x 5' tinted, polarized, argon-filled, bullet-resistant windows. Ideal for indoor gardening, plant cultivation, or peaceful everyday living, this room is truly one of a kind. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with generous counter space, a prep island, dishwasher, disposal sink, and separate pantry storage.
Nearby, the formal dining room features abundant windows, marble floors, and an elegant chandelier suited for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. A welcoming foyer leads into the formal living room, one of the home's most comfortable spaces, offering western views over flowering gardens and lush zoysia lawns. Two separate staircases access the upper level, which includes two bedrooms, a full bath, a hall library, and a spacious playroom or media room above the kitchen and sunroom.
French doors open to a charming bump-out sitting area overlooking the rear property. Throughout the home, numerous built-ins, hidden storage spaces, under-stair compartments, and custom details add both charm and functionality, including a distinguished study with floor-to-ceiling bookcases and built-in desks. Separate from the main residence is an extraordinary 24' x 40' guest apartment and workshop - a property unto itself.
Fully heated and air-conditioned, with a self-contained Amish-built stove, the upper-level living space includes a kitchenette, full bath, and remarkable craftsmanship throughout. The handcrafted heart pine floors were created using 11-inch-wide, 16-foot-long boards, each one inch thick and individually glued, screwed, and doweled into heavy joists below using more than 5,000 screws by master craftsman Joey Gilmore. Walls and ceilings were constructed using reclaimed beams from the historic Bowman rail depot, a century-old structure whose materials were salvaged in the 1990s.
Below, the massive workshop features 12-inch cinder block walls atop a reinforced five-inch concrete foundation with waterproofing and French drains. Supported by a single iron post and substantial 12-inch I-beam, the structure offers exceptional durability and serves as an outstanding storm shelter. With no HOA restrictions, the estate remains naturally protected, remarkably private, and uniquely difficult to replicate today.
More than a home, this is a handcrafted retreat rich in history, character, privacy, and enduring quality!

Price & listing history
Building permits
Comparable recent sales
No closed sales of a similar home within about 10 miles in Elbert County in the last 18 months are in our MLS data set, so this page shows no comparable-sales median or automated estimate for Elberton, GA. A licensed Momentum Realty agent can prepare a property-specific comparative market analysis on request.
The Messtimate
Insufficient local evidence for an automated estimate. The Messtimate is a deliberately simple range — living area × recent closed-sale $/sq ft from comparable homes nearby — and it only renders when at least 3 defensible sales exist within about 10 miles in Elbert County in the last 18 months. None qualify for this home, so no dollar range is shown. It is not an appraisal or a valuation.
Methodology: the range would be 3,356 sq ft × the interquartile $/sq ft of comparable closed sales (same property type, living area within 30%, closed within 18 months, nearest verified subdivision, 3-mile, then 10-mile same-county stage). Estimate for general information only; never an appraisal, valuation, or offer. Updated October 13, 2026.

Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 511 Rhodes Drive, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 1964 (62 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
- The listing reports no HOA: confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to this parcel.
- FEMA flood zone X: flood insurance is not usually required, but get a quote anyway — FEMA reports roughly one in four flood claims come from outside high-risk zones.
- Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Elbert County; age of roof and any prior claims affect the premium.
- Listed living area is 3,356 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
- Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
- Review permit history with the county.
- Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $4,074/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; confirm exemptions with the county tax assessor.
- School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 511 Rhodes Drive and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 511 Rhodes Drive was built in 1964 and has 3,356 sq ft of living area, 5 bedrooms and 3.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 511 Rhodes Drive in?
511 Rhodes Drive is in Elberton, Elbert County. Too few comparable closed sales exist nearby for this page to show local sales statistics; a licensed agent can prepare a comparative market analysis.
Does 511 Rhodes Drive have an HOA?
The listing reports no HOA. Confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to the parcel.
How are property taxes on 511 Rhodes Drive estimated?
The estimate on this page (about $4,074 per year) assumes the county reassesses at the list price. Georgia counties reassess after a sale and exemptions such as homestead must be applied for by the new owner, so the seller's current bill is not a guide. Confirm with the county tax assessor.
Is 511 Rhodes Drive in a flood zone?
The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone X, outside the special flood hazard area, so flood insurance is not usually required by a lender. It is still available and worth quoting; confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.

Any figure on this page that is not a verbatim fact from the listing or a public record — including estimated property taxes, insurance, CDD/HOA amounts, mortgage payments, comparable-sales summaries, and market statistics — is an opinion and estimate provided for general informational purposes only. These figures may be inaccurate or out of date, are not appraisals, valuations, or financial, legal, tax, or investment advice, and should not be relied upon.

Estimate methodology. Tax estimates apply county millage to the list price (less the homestead exemption where the parcel is matched to the certified roll) and will differ from the actual assessed bill. Cost and market figures are derived from available data and simple calculations, not a professional appraisal. We make no representation that any estimate reflects fair market value.
