140 Barker Road SW

Welcome home to 18+ private acres just minutes from downtown Rome, where quiet country living meets resort style comfort. Set far off the road at the end of a long private drive with a turnaround loop, this beautiful three sided brick residence offers space, warmth, and room to breathe. Inside, ten foot ceilings and crown molding set the tone for easy, elegant living. The light filled two story great room opens into a chef's kitchen with pristine white cabinetry, stone countertops, a breakfast bar, and a freestanding double oven electric range, the kind of kitchen made for gathering. The main level primary suite is a true retreat, with high ceilings, double vanities, and a spacious walk in closet. Upstairs you will find generous secondary bedrooms with ample closet space and well appointed baths, offering privacy for everyone under one roof. The fully finished walk out lower level adds even more flexibility, whether you picture it as a daylight terrace suite or a full recreation hall, complete with a full bath, expansive game and living area, bedroom and plenty of utility and storage space. Built in 2002, this home features 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and a 2 car garage, with no HOA to worry about. Step outside to your own backyard oasis. Relax on the screened porch with gas fire pit or covered deck overlooking a fully chainlink fenced in ground saltwater pool, outbuilding with small workshops, long covered shed, open pastures, and quiet woods, with Beech Creek meandering gently across the back of the wooded property. A large currently unused garden plot with wood posts ready for electric fencing gives you a head start on keeping deer and other visitors out of your vegetables, while the rest of the property welcomes them in. It is not uncommon to look out and see deer grazing at the tree line or a flock of wild turkey moving across the field, a peaceful reminder of how private and connected to nature this place truly is. Whether you are dreaming of horses, outdoor recreation, or simply a slower pace of life, this rare Floyd County estate offers a true sanctuary to call home. The home sits well outside the FEMA flood zone; only the wooded acreage along Beech Creek at the back of the property is within the mapped floodplain. Septic updated with two 1,000 gallon tanks; field lines replaced in 2023.
