Nestled in the coveted gated Goose Island Hideaway community, this lovingly maintained full-time residence offers a rare blend of acreage, privacy, and convenience between Blue Ridge and Ellijay. Set on 2.64 gentle, usable acres with beautiful hardwoods and community river access, the property feels tucked away and peaceful while still easily reached by paved roads within the community. Located off the main entrance road, the home enjoys a quieter setting with minimal pass-through traffic, adding to its private mountain feel. With only a few homes beyond it and a peaceful wooded backdrop behind, the setting offers a sense of seclusion and breathing room that's hard to find.
The main residence is a warm, lodge-style home with pine interiors and a living area that flows to expansive decks and porches overlooking the wooded grounds — inviting spaces for relaxing, entertaining, wildlife viewing, or simply enjoying the seasons. A major value is the oversized two-car garage with an impressive finished upper-level studio apartment — a guest suite or artist studio complete with living, sleeping, and kitchenette space.
Combined with the main home, the property offers over 3,000 square feet of heated living space. With its privacy, low-traffic location, community river access, substantial square footage, detached garage, and flexible lifestyle quarters, this property stands as a complete and rare mountain offering.
