Situated in the heart of the historic Sautee Nacoochee valley, the Estate offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Our property boasts breathtaking views of Mount Yonah and the valley that was once used by early settlers to access the mountain. We have no doubt that they were taken in by the same splendor that we were! In recent history, the property was home to the Sautee Nacoochee Vineyard, which was one of the first wineries in north Georgia. Tourists came from all over the country to sample the wines and learn more about the 1.5-acre vineyard. They also enjoyed live music in the amphitheater, as well as the breathtaking views and refreshing breezes provided by the mountains. The grape vines are still there, and we are in the process of reopening this once highly sought-after destination. For us, the Estate is much more than a piece of real estate; it is a vacation destination. The 6.5 acres are ideal for small intimate groups who want to use a few venues, as well as larger groups who want to make use of the entire property. The possibilities are endless, and we look forward to assisting you in realizing your vision. ​ Our vision is to provide you with a hassle-free event that is executed flawlessly from start to finish. We're here to help you make it happen! "The Estate" is managed by the Defining Point, a company based in Atlanta, Georgia that specializes in event production. The company has been in operation for 15 years and is a full-service event agency that produces a wide range of projects for corporations, non-profit organizations, and the general public. You can count on our team of seasoned event managers, graphic designers and creatives to assist you in any way they can. We believe that it is the combination of all of these factors that distinguishes the Estate as a truly special place. Come out and sit on the front lawn for 20 minutes, and we are confident that you will experience the same feelings!
