Welcome to a rare mountain retreat along Vandegriff Creek in Ellijay, GA. Set on 3.52 private acres with over 350 feet of creek frontage, this beautifully curated ranch-style cottage offers the perfect blend of tranquility, charm, and modern comfort. Inside, vaulted ceilings with skylights flood the home with natural light, while hardwood floors and updated lighting and hardware elevate the space. Scenic views surround you from every window, and the open-concept layout is ideal for entertaining or quiet evenings at home. The kitchen features black granite countertops with white veining, a glossy ceramic tile backsplash, sage green cabinetry, and a handcrafted wood island, with easy access to the laundry room, mudroom, and storage. The living area is anchored by a black stove pipe on a stone hearth, creating warmth and character. An open game room—ideal as an office or secondary lounge—leads to an expansive back deck overlooking the property. Below, a stone patio guides you to the yard and a large firepit perfect for gathering under the stars. The owner’s suite offers oversized windows with peaceful creek views and abundant natural light. Outdoors, enjoy a custom firepit seating eight, views of a neighboring horse pasture, and the soothing sounds of the creek. A scenic hiking trail is less than half a mile away, with the Chattahoochee National Forest and Blue Ridge Wildlife Management Area nearby. Sold fully furnished, this turnkey property offers excellent short-term rental potential. Just 25 minutes from downtown Ellijay’s orchards, wineries, shopping, and dining. HOA includes only three homes with no fees, minimal restrictions, and a recently paved road.
