Tucked away on nearly 20 acres of R1-zoned land, this exceptional North Georgia cabin offers SO much privacy, natural beauty, and long-term potential—perfect as a full-time residence, weekend retreat, or short-term rental—with room to build multiple homes. Located just minutes from downtown Ellijay and surrounded by the area’s famous apple orchards, the property features a gently flowing creek, small pond, open meadows, cleared open land, rolling terrain, ridgeline mountain views, and so many riding trails for horses, four-wheelers, or Gators, with ample space for private trails, additional homesites, or future subdivision. Inside, the main living area impresses with tall wood ceilings, real hardwood floors on the main level, 2 fireplaces, and a dramatic wall of glass windows that flood the space with natural light and showcase the outdoors. The open-concept layout flows to a fully updated kitchen with leathered granite countertops, newer appliances, and abundant storage, then out to a wraparound deck with hot tub and screened-in porch—perfect for entertaining or enjoying peaceful mornings and evenings. The home comes mostly furnished and turnkey, ready for immediate use or rental income. The main-level primary suite offers a private retreat with sitting area, renovated bath, and oversized screened porch, while upstairs features a loft and second oversized suite with cathedral ceilings and spa-like bath. The terrace level adds a game room, workshop, laundry, and space for a fourth bedroom, in-law suite, or second living area. Recent updates include: main-level bathroom (July 2025) with new shower, sconces, vanity, and faucet; basement improvements (April 10, 2025) including French drain with sump pump, new drywall and paneling along back wall, and concrete re-pour; exterior upgrades (July 2025) with new front steps to the large screened-in porch, new exterior paint (2024), and pressure-washed home with back deck recoated to match front. The property also features a newly installed 4-bedroom septic system and endless possibilities to create private trails, expand, or build multiple homes. No school tax for those over 65 years of age. Nearby attractions include numerous apple orchards, hiking trails, Springer Mountain—the beginning of the Appalachian Trail—wineries, Amicalola Falls, Fort Mountain State Park, Brasstown Bald, trout streams, tubing, kayaking, sunflower patches, pumpkin patches, and more.
