About This Home

Welcome to 430 Cajun Drive—a gated, fully fenced private estate that epitomizes refined country living. Completed in 2021 with a full luxury basement finished in 2024, this custom-crafted ranch rests on 4 pristine, level acres in the heart of Ellijay’s wine country—less than 30 minutes to Carters Lake and a short ATV ride to award-winning Engelheim Vineyards. All paved access ensures effortless arrival, while the absence of HOA restrictions offers complete freedom.

The main level showcases 9-ft ceilings, a grand living room with both wood-burning and gas fireplace (remote-controlled), and a sun-drenched four-season room with Trex flooring and designer ceiling fans. The chef’s kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring KitchenAid appliances, custom cabinetry, a designer tile backsplash, leathered granite countertops, a farmhouse sink, and a walk-in pantry. The owner’s retreat is a sanctuary of sophistication, boasting a spa-inspired bath with leathered granite, a custom tile shower, and a walk-in closet with attic access.

The fully finished terrace level is handicap accessible and offers exceptional versatility—it can serve as a private in-law suite with its own living room, gourmet kitchen, bedroom suite, laundry, and private entrance, or be rented out for long-term income. Highlights include 9-ft ceilings, stainless appliances, granite counters, custom cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, an additional oversized bedroom, and a 16x14 flex room ideal for a home gym or theater.

Outdoor amenities are equally impressive: a third garage/workshop, a 10x12 outbuilding with carport, expansive concrete patio, lush fenced backyard, whole-home Generac generator, premium water purification system, Ring security cameras, gutters, and stone-accented hardboard siding.

Offered furnished with a strong offer—including three 85” televisions—this 5-bedroom, 3 full bath, 2 half bath residence blends opulence, flexibility, and everyday comfort. With its unmatched craftsmanship, thoughtful amenities, and idyllic location, 430 Cajun Drive is not just a home—it’s a legacy property.
