Charming Country Retreat on 6.57 Unrestricted Acres with 656 Ft of Creek Frontage – Just Minutes from Downtown Ellijay!
Discover the perfect blend of rustic charm, peaceful privacy, and endless potential with this rare gem in beautiful Gilmer County! Nestled on a sprawling 6.57-acre tract of unrestricted, level land, this traditional-style 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers serene country living just 5–10 minutes from downtown Ellijay. Boasting 656 feet of picturesque creek frontage—with a babbling creek winding through your front yard—this property is a nature lover’s dream and an ideal setting for a private mountain retreat or full-time residence.
Built in 1962, the single-level brick home features 1,440 sq ft of well-maintained living space with timeless country touches throughout. Step inside to find warm wood-paneled walls, hardwood and laminate flooring, and tile in high-traffic areas, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The spacious living room flows into the dining area—complete with a charming, closed-off fireplace—and the adjacent kitchen features solid wood cabinetry and ample storage.
The home includes two comfortably sized bedrooms, each with hardwood floors. The primary full bathroom offers real tile flooring, a fiberglass tub/shower combo, and a traditional vanity, while the second bedroom features a walk-in tiled shower—a rare find in homes of this era. A large mudroom houses the washer and dryer and provides easy access to the outdoors.
Downstairs, a full, unfinished basement with plumbing already in place presents the perfect opportunity to expand your living space—whether as a guest suite, game room, workshop, or in-law quarters. The possibilities are endless!
Outside, you’ll find four potential building sites for future homes, guest cottages, or recreational structures, offering incredible investment or expansion potential. The acreage includes open pasture land, perfect for gardening, homesteading, or even keeping animals. The property also features a large, enclosed workshop for hobbies or storage, as well as an attached 2-car garage with additional parking space and a gravel driveway for easy access.
Major systems have been thoughtfully updated over the years for peace of mind, including a new roof installed in 2011/2012, central HVAC replaced in 2016, and a brand-new septic system that has just been installed and pumped. Water is provided via a shared well, located on this property and powered by a neighboring residence. The hot water heater is leased through AMEC.
With no HOA and no restrictive covenants, this property offers the freedom to truly make it your own. Whether you dream of creating a multi-home compound, a peaceful farmstead, or simply enjoying your own private escape from the hustle and bustle, this one-of-a-kind retreat checks all the boxes.
Located within the Gilmer County School District and just a short drive to all the dining, shopping, wineries, and outdoor recreation that Ellijay has to offer, this is your chance to own a slice of classic North Georgia charm—with room to grow and explore.
