This truly unique property offers 12.5 acres across six lots, giving you the flexibility to keep it all for yourself and enjoy the privacy or explore the potential for additional homesites. Survey and soil testing are available, with underground power already in place. Built with an emphasis on quality, efficiency, and authentic mountain character, this custom home showcases exceptional craftsmanship throughout. 8-inch circle-sawn tongue-and-groove pine flooring, extensive natural wood finishes, custom-built bunk beds, and interior trim sourced from Sisson Lumber create a warm, distinctive feel. The living area is anchored by an impressive 42-inch wood-burning fireplace with a hand-hewn wood mantel, creating the perfect centerpiece for this mountain retreat. The main floor features an inviting open living area and loft, along with a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring black stainless steel appliances, a pantry, custom hickory cabinetry, leathered granite countertops, tile backsplash, and copper sink. The private primary suite continues the home’s custom character with a spa-inspired bath featuring a large tiled shower, separate soaking tub, and electric fireplace. An exterior door from the primary suite leads directly to the porch, the perfect place to relax and take in the peaceful mountain surroundings. The thoughtfully designed lower level features two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a spacious living area. A bar sink and hookup for a small refrigerator offer the ideal setup for a future kitchenette or mini secondary kitchen, making this level especially versatile for extended family, guests, or a private living arrangement. Quality extends well beyond the finishes. Construction features include Hardie® siding, a metal roof, 2x6 exterior walls, open-cell spray foam insulation in the exterior walls and ceilings, and tongue-and-groove wood soffits with recessed lighting. Additional features include a heat-pump HVAC system, electric water heater, and wiring for a generator connection with an exterior plug-in port. An 800+ ft. deep private well provides a strong water supply, completing a property thoughtfully designed for privacy, durability, and comfortable mountain living. Ideally located between Ellijay and Blue Ridge and near the Aska Adventure Area, you’re surrounded by some of North Georgia’s best hiking and biking trails, outdoor adventures, charming mountain towns, restaurants, shopping, and endless opportunities to explore. There is so much to enjoy here, but quite possibly one of the best parts is simply coming home, slowing down, and watching the incredible sunsets from your own mountaintop retreat.
