The house may feel like home, but it's what lies beyond the backyard that makes this setting hard to replicate. Set on more than 2 acres, the property borders U.S. Forest Service land, with thousands of wooded acres stretching beyond your own - a rare backdrop that adds a sense of privacy and connection to the mountains without putting you far from town. Closer to home, a gently sloping lawn, mature trees, small pond, stonework, and charming footbridge give the property an established feel with plenty of character. Inside, the layout was made for comfortable everyday living, with all three bedrooms on the main level and an open living and dining area anchored by hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and a stone fireplace. Just beyond, a sunroom wrapped in windows offers a cozy place for morning coffee, reading, or watching the seasons change through the trees. Covered porches front and back create even more room to slow down outside, while the partially finished terrace level, two-car garage, and separate powered garage provide space for storage, hobbies, or future possibilities. The community also offers private access to the Cartecay River with two riverside pavilions, while Downtown Ellijay is only about five minutes away. With short-term rentals permitted, there's flexibility for how the property can be enjoyed, whether as an everyday home, a mountain getaway, or a place to share with others!
