Do not miss this rare opportunity to own your own private mountain retreat situated on 8.26 beautiful acres, with the potential to subdivide and build additional homes. With no HOA and no restrictions, the possibilities are endless! This recently remodeled 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers comfortable mountain living with modern updates and plenty of character. The country kitchen features new cabinets, countertops, and appliances, while the spacious living room showcases open beams and a pellet stove, perfect for cozy evenings during the colder months. The primary suite offers direct access to the renovated screened porch, where you can relax and listen to the peaceful creek flowing through the property. The updated tile shower adds an extra touch of comfort and charm. A versatile flex space provides plenty of room for a pantry, home office, or additional storage and connects to the huge screened-in porch and wraparound deck, creating an incredible space for entertaining or simply enjoying the surrounding nature. Power outages are no concern with the 18kW whole-house generator, providing ample power to keep the entire home running. For the outdoor and RV enthusiast, the property features full RV hookups, offering 220V service, water, and black-water hookups. The recently constructed 24’ x 60’ detached garage/shop is truly a standout feature. With four spacious bays, a car lift, 220V service for welding and equipment, and a dedicated air-compressor system, this shop is built for serious projects. The compressor is plumbed throughout the shop, eliminating the need to drag hoses from one area to another. A fifth bay has been designed as a dedicated workshop with loft storage, workbenches, and plenty of outlets for charging tools and operating equipment. Nestled in the heart of the Rich Mountain range, this property offers the perfect combination of privacy, recreation, and convenience. Enjoy being close to Downtown Ellijay, Blue Ridge, local wineries, outdoor adventures, and everything the North Georgia mountains have to offer. Whether you’re looking for a private full-time residence, mountain getaway, homestead, RV destination, or property with room to expand, this one-of-a-kind opportunity is ready for you!
