Built in 2023 at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on just under two acres in Newton County, 451 Mayo Road offers 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, and it was designed with the water as the main event. Floor-to-ceiling doors and windows run the length of the back of the home, so the lake is in view the moment you walk in.
