About This Home
Escape to your own secluded mountain retreat! This stunning chalet sits against the backdrop of 19.7 UNRESTRICTED acres with a meandering creek, open meadow, gentle slopes up to a ridgeline with gorgeous mountain views, and a small pond - the perfect blend of peace, privacy, and natural beauty. Whether you're looking for a full- or part-time haven, a turn-key vacation rental, or even a wedding venue, this property is ready to make your mountain dreams a reality! Step inside the light-filled great room where soaring cathedral tongue-and-groove ceilings, a striking stone fireplace, and a south-facing wall of Prow Front windows bring the outdoors in. The open living space flows outdoors to a wraparound deck with hot tub, screened porch, and seasonal mountain views. The renovated kitchen features sleek leathered granite countertops and newer appliances, while the expansive Main Level Primary Suite includes a sitting room, newly refreshed ensuite bathroom, and private oversized screened porch. Upstairs, a loft offers office or guest space with views overlooking the prow front windows plus a SECOND Massive Primary Suite with its own slate-floor bathroom and beamed cathedral ceilings. The walk-out basement adds a game room, laundry room, workshop/storage room, and flex space that can easily become a 4th bedroom, family room, or even an in-law suite. A brand-new 4-bedroom septic is already in place, giving you room to expand. Outdoors, enjoy the firepit with sunset views in the meadow and hiking trails on your own acreage - all just minutes from apple orchards, wineries, Historic Downtown Ellijay, Amicalola Falls, and North Georgia's best hiking. This property has a proven track record as a successful vacation rental and short-term rentals are allowed. With room to build additional cabins or host weddings or large events, the income potential is endless. Don't miss this rare opportunity - a move-in ready, income-producing, secluded mountain retreat on untouched and unrestricted acreage is hard to find. Come see why the owners chose this spot to host their own wedding - it truly is picture-perfect. Check out the TOUR:
