120 Mills Lane Tucked inside the gated community of Malone's Pond, this nearly new Bercher Homes build offers a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully upgraded home in one of Ball Ground's most charming settings. Set on a premier, nearly half-acre lot overlooking the neighborhood pond, the backdrop here is something special-peaceful water views, wooded privacy, and frequent wildlife sightings, all just moments from the energy of downtown Ball Ground. With its walkable access to the city park, trails, tennis courts, and year-round community events, this location strikes a unique balance between quiet, nature-filled living and an active small-town lifestyle.Built in 2024 and spanning over 3, 700 square feet, this five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath home was designed with both everyday comfort and elevated entertaining in mind. The owners took an already strong builder plan and enhanced it in all the right ways, adding a main-level bedroom with a private ensuite bath along with a dedicated dining room that gives the home a more complete and functional layout. Natural light pours in from an abundance of windows, framing views of the pond and surrounding trees and creating a bright, open feel throughout the home.The kitchen is both beautiful and practical, anchored by a spacious main area and complemented by a separate scullery kitchen that keeps prep work and cleanup tucked away. From there, the home flows seamlessly into the main living spaces with fireplace and out to the enclosed back patio, where a screened-in design creates a comfortable extension of the home year-round.What truly sets this property apart is the level of finish and care that has gone into it since completion. The sellers have invested over $60, 000 in upgrades, including hardwood floors throughout, custom window treatments, an enhanced appliance package, painted and sealed garage floors, a full home water filtration system, and a professionally installed irrigation system. The landscaping has been thoughtfully upgraded to complement the setting, and every detail reflects a home that has been meticulously maintained and intentionally improved.Additional highlights include a three-car garage and an oversized driveway with plenty of room for guests, along with one of the neighborhood's best slab lots, which offers both usability and commanding views. For buyers who appreciate the look and feel of a model home but don't want to wait through the building process, this is a standout opportunity. Every finish has already been selected, every upgrade has already been completed, and the result is a home that feels both refined and truly move-in ready in one of North Georgia's most inviting communities.
