Stunning Timber Frame Ranch on the Cartecay River. At first glance, this step-less riverfront ranch may seem like a cozy cottage, but step inside, and you’ll be wowed by the spaciousness and thoughtfully designed living space. Rustic pine timber frame vaulted ceilings extend throughout the main floor, setting a warm and inviting tone. A soaring double-sided stone fireplace connects the spacious great room to the large dining area, while expansive windows offer breathtaking views of the Cartecay River. The lot extends to the center of the river. The beautifully designed eat-in kitchen features a nearly 7-foot granite island, a farmhouse sink, pull-out shelving, a brand-new double oven (2025), a new dishwasher (2024), and even a pot filler. The primary suite boasts a completely renovated ensuite bath (2024) with modern fixtures and finishes. The main level also includes a guest bedroom, guest bath, laundry room, and gleaming hardwood floors. Every bathroom is equipped with heated Italian tile flooring for added comfort. Downstairs, the lower level impresses with 9′ ceilings, large windows, elegant crown moldings, and Italian tile floors. This level offers four versatile rooms, including a third bedroom with a full bath (currently used as a studio), a large living room, a cozy TV room, and a fourth bedroom or office. A tucked-away utility/mechanical room adds storage. Additional features include a 2024 dual-fuel HVAC system, a supplemental wood stove, and a whole-house generator. The exterior is just as impressive, with a metal roof, cement fiber board siding, a screened porch, a detached garage, expansive decks and a full-length patio overlooking the river. The fenced garden is ready for your summer vegetable plants. The front yard bursts into bloom each spring with hundreds of perennials, shrubs and roses-plus a thriving blueberry patch in the back. This Energy Star-rated home (Timber Truss) offers the perfect blend of comfort, efficiency, and natural beauty-all with paved road access, no HOA, and just minutes from downtown Ellijay. A must-see riverfront retreat! Owner is a licensed Realtor.
