Luxury New Construction on the Ellijay River in Goose Island Hideaway. Welcome to your dream mountain retreat, custom-built by renowned local builder Henry Nicholson with an emphasis on craftsmanship, comfort, and timeless style. Perfectly situated on the banks of the Ellijay River, this brand-new log home sits within the prestigious gated community of Goose Island Hideaway, offering the best of both worlds-peaceful privacy with all-paved access just minutes from Ellijay and Blue Ridge. Step inside to a dramatic great room with vaulted ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and expansive windows that bring the outside in. The gourmet kitchen is designed to impress, featuring a 48" professional range, farmhouse sink, cedar shake vent hood, stone backsplash, granite countertops, and a spacious island with seating for six and ample cabinetry. The open-concept dining area flows seamlessly to a large covered porch with a wood-burning fireplace, creating the perfect space for relaxing or entertaining by the water. The main-level primary suite is a tranquil retreat with a picture window overlooking the river, direct access to the porch, a walk-in closet with laundry hookups, and a luxurious ensuite bath with double vanities and a custom tiled shower. A stylish powder room completes the main floor. The finished terrace level offers a second generous living area with a gas log fireplace, a wet bar with full-size refrigerator and island, a bunk room with ensuite bath, an additional bedroom, and another full bath-both featuring beautifully designed tilework. Professionally landscaped and offered fully furnished (excluding outdoor furniture), this property also includes a rare 2-car garage, a paved driveway, and the unmistakable beauty of riverfront living. A rare and remarkable opportunity in one of North Georgia's most exclusive enclaves.
