About This Home

As of August 2026

49.7 Acres | 3BR | 2BA | Like-New 2023 Remodel | Mountain Views | 3 Creeks | 24x40 Shop | No HOA | No Restrictions – Your own private slice of North Georgia paradise awaits on 49.7 breathtaking unrestricted acres featuring seasonal mountain views, three beautiful creeks, abundant wildlife, mature hardwoods, established trails, and endless possibilities. Completely remodeled, expanded, and thoughtfully updated in 2023, this stunning mountain retreat lives and feels like new while preserving the charm of mountain living, making it ideal as a full-time residence, vacation home, family compound, private retreat, or income-producing short-term rental. Designed for easy one-level living, the open-concept floor plan showcases luxury LVP flooring throughout, beautiful wood ceilings, a striking stacked stone gas log fireplace, and a chef’s kitchen featuring quartz countertops, tile backsplash, oversized island, pantry, vent hood, abundant cabinetry, and a premium dual-fuel six-burner range. The spacious primary suite offers a large walk-in closet and beautifully updated bath with granite countertops, dual vanities, and a tiled walk-in shower, while two additional bedrooms, a full guest bath with tile-surround tub, and an oversized laundry room provide plenty of room for family and guests. Major upgrades include a wired whole-house generator, whole-house water purification system, and tankless water heater for added efficiency and peace of mind. Outside, you’ll find a massive 24x40 detached shop with an approximately 11’ x 24’ opening, perfect for storing boats, RVs, tractors, ATVs, equipment, or creating the ultimate workshop. Explore nearly 50 acres of privacy with multiple creeks—including a picturesque babbling creek providing soothing year-round sounds—along with endless opportunities for hiking, hunting, recreation, gardening, or simply enjoying your own mountain sanctuary. With no HOA and no restrictions, the property offers exceptional flexibility to keep all 49.7 acres for complete privacy, build additional homes or guest cabins, create a multi-generational family compound, or explore future subdivision opportunities. Investors will appreciate the outstanding short-term rental potential created by the combination of unrestricted land, mountain views, creek frontage, modern updates, and close proximity to North Georgia’s most popular attractions. No school tax for homeowners 65 and older. Conveniently located near Ellijay’s famous apple orchards, wineries, hiking trails, Springer Mountain, the beginning of the Appalachian Trail, Amicalola Falls, Fort Mountain State Park, Brasstown Bald, and some of North Georgia’s premier trout streams, this is an exceptionally rare opportunity to own nearly 50 acres with like-new improvements, multiple creeks, mountain views, unmatched privacy, and incredible investment potential.
