Tucked away on 2 peaceful acres, 261 Ridgeway Road offers the charm of country living with the convenience of being just minutes from the heart of Dahlonega. This inviting home blends natural beauty with thoughtful design, creating a true retreat in the North Georgia foothills. The home features 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths, with a main-level primary suite that includes a relaxing soaking tub and walk-in closet-your own private escape at the end of the day. Also on the main floor is a versatile flex room, perfect for a home office, nursery, or additional bedroom. The main living area welcomes you with an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living space, accented by hand-finished natural hardwood floors that add warmth and character throughout. The cozy living room centers around a gas stove with a natural flame, ideal for cool mountain evenings. Upstairs, you'll find two comfortable bedrooms and a full bath, providing space and privacy for family or guests. Step outside and take in the serene setting, where a gently sloping backyard leads to a private, stream-fed pond, creating a picturesque spot to relax, explore, or enjoy quiet mornings outdoors. The covered outdoor patio is perfect for grilling, entertaining, or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings. A detached garage offers endless possibilities, whether used as a workshop, barn, or additional storage. Situated along a private community road, this property offers privacy and tranquility while remaining less than 10 minutes from Dahlonega's historic square and just 10 minutes to GA-400, making it easy to enjoy both seclusion and convenience. This is North Georgia living at its finest-rustic, peaceful, and ready to be called home.
