Once upon a time, in the land of the North Georgia mountains, there was an enchanting cottage surrounded by a laughing creek. This is IT, folks! Creekside Manor is THE storybook property. Located in the desirable Whitepath Road corridor-just north of downtown Ellijay and convenient to Blue Ridge-this Southern Living home is nestled on 3.31 acres, where Boardtown Creek and Jones Creek merge and meander around the property. The flat topography is nearly impossible to find up here! As soon as you enter the gate, you're greeted by a long driveway bordered by a starter vineyard, fenced garden, SHE shed, and lush landscaping. Roll down the windows and listen to the babbling creeks as you approach the stunning Craftsman-style Westbury Park design home. Step into the main level, where you'll find a welcoming living room with a stacked-stone fireplace, a chef's kitchen featuring a large granite island, brand new GE Cafe Collection appliances, a six-burner gas stove with double ovens, generous cabinetry, pantry, and more. The dining room is perfect for entertaining. The primary suite on the main level has a private entrance, dual vanities, a soaking tub and shower, and his-and-hers closets. Adjacent to the kitchen is a cozy den/library with its own fireplace and ample built-in shelving. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a spacious gathering/sleeping room with beamed ceilings and a fireplace. Above the two-car garage, you'll find a finished bonus room-ideal for a man cave, exercise room, or additional office space. The foundation/crawl space is engineered to withstand flooding. There is also a self-contained sewer/septic system. And don't miss the grounds: over 1,200 feet of creek frontage, complete with a charming gazebo, creekside benches, a hammock, and a stone patio sitting area. From the wrap-around porches and from every room in the house, you have views to the creeks and the majestic mountains beyond. You won't be disappointed when you explore this one-of-a-kind retreat. In fact, we can guarantee you will NOT want to leave! The surrounding area is host to numerous wineries, apple houses, farmers markets, Whitepath Golf Course down the road, shopping and dining in downtown Ellijay and Blue Ridge, trout fishing, hiking, mountain biking, camping, kayaking and much more! Also enjoy nearby Carters Lake and Lake Blue Ridge and nearby Amicalola Falls Park or Fort Mountain Park for camping and hiking.
