Looking for an Exceptional Custom-designed mountain escape property in North Georgia? Here's a rare opportunity to own a renovated home offering 277ft of flat, easily accessible and parklike river frontage on beautiful Mountaintown Creek (approx. 30' wide - perfect for tubing, water play or just relaxing to the sounds of Nature!). This is more than double the typical river lot in this development - and many have dozens of steps down steep hillsides, or minimal useable land - not this one! Enjoy an inviting pathway to your fire pit with adjacent deck & picnic table - all set amidst Hardwoods & Hemlocks. Or kick back and enjoy morning solitude from your deck/covered breezeway, with coffee in hand! *Upon entering there's a Central Gathering Room with Log Rockers and a cozy Hearthstone Wood Burning Stove to create warm memories on cool Fall and Winter nights! 2 Bedrooms with Walk-In-Closets (plus Log Queen Bed & 2 sets of Twin Bunk Beds included)! New Bath/Shower with pedestal sink and Linen Storage cabinetry, connecting to a separate Toilet with New Vanity. *New LVP Flooring just installed, with fresh neutral paint, and all new Pex plumbing added throughout. Pine Doors, Custom Cypress trimwork and wall siding gives a warm cabin feel, without overwhelming the senses. *The Main Level offers an Open, Spacious Living Space featuring an amazing high Cypress Ceiling plus Tons of Natural Light and Great Views! Dine at the solid Log Table (seating for 8), or Breakfast Bar (seating for 3), and enjoy the TV/Game Area leading to both the front Deck, and Covered Breezeway. This is so ideal for entertaining friends and family! *The Kitchen features a new Walk-In-Pantry with wood shelving, a Spacious Kitchen for entertaining, New LG Fridge/Freezer, Breakfast Bar/Island with Log Bar Stools, all New Granite Counters and New Pine Flooring throughout! *A Half-bath is conveniently located upstairs for guests. *Enjoy a view of the Woods & Back Yard from the Kitchen Farmhouse Sink, and a South-Facing, Light-Infused Living Area overlooking Hemlocks, the River, and Greenery to the front! *Deck Recently Upgraded and Stained, Solar Accent Lighting just added, and there's a nice Back Yard with space for a Grill, Log Rack Storage, and wiring included for a secluded Hot Tub. *A Covered, Newly Screened Breezeway connects to the Front Deck, Back Yard, and the Separate *Private Master Bedroom Suite - a tranquil space away from the Main living area. This features its own Ensuite, with separate Shower, Jetted Tub, Separate Toilet and Ceramic Tile Flooring. The Bedroom has Pine Flooring, Cypress Ceilings & Trimwork, plus Walk-In-closet. *Under the Master Bedroom at Ground Level, there's a convenient Storage and Workshop Area, along with Laundry Tub and Washer/Dryer. This partly finished space could easily be customized to create a separate Game Room, Owner's Storage Area (especially if being used for Short Term Rentals), or whatever suits your needs! Owners have used this space for Home Wine Making with a Window Unit for Cooling. New Blinds just added. *White Cedar Log Furniture Package and other items included with the sale - ideal for a Short Term Rental, Second Home, or just to start anew with Mountain decor! So start enjoying Nature and enjoy a daily walk alongside Mountaintown Creek on the shared (privately maintained) access road, for almost a mile in each direction - all without stepping foot in your car! Remember life is Better in the Mountains and now is the time to start enjoying that exciting new phase, and a healthy outdoor lifestyle! *Ellijay offers Friendly Small Town Charm with seasonal Farmers Market, Nice Shopping and Dining Options, a Growing Winery and Cider Focus, Great Apple and Peach Orchards, plenty of Mountain Biking and Hiking options, Carters Lake within easy range, and good access to GA515 (North-South access), and Hwy 52 & 53 (East-West access). *Call with any questions!
