Opportunities like this are RARE. This thoughtfully updated mid-century modern home borders 2,300+ ACRES of protected U.S. Forest Service land within the Chattahoochee National Forest, offering a combination of privacy, character, and location that is nearly impossible to find in Ellijay. Just a few miles from downtown Ellijay, the property provides direct walk-out access to hiking, hunting, fishing, and endless wilderness, while still remaining close to restaurants, shopping, and everyday conveniences. Unlike most mountain properties, the parcel includes multiple graded and level areas-a rare find in the North Georgia mountains-ideal for additional buildings, outdoor living, recreation, and gatherings. A large porch and peaceful wooded setting create the perfect place to slow down and enjoy the surroundings. Inside, clean mid-century lines and warm wood tones create a bright, inviting interior filled with natural light. A sunroom offers flexible space for yoga, homeschooling, or a quiet retreat. The main-level primary suite, complete with its own bathroom and closet, can function as a primary bedroom, home office, workout space, or bunk-style guest room for short-term rental use. Additional bedrooms and baths provide comfort and privacy, while a barn and new garage offer exceptional storage and functionality. This is a rare opportunity to own a distinctive architectural home with usable land that borders protected national forest-just minutes from downtown Ellijay.
