Discover a once-in-a-generation opportunity in the heart of Downtown Ellijay—an extraordinary 26.5 acre in-town RIVERFRONT ESTATE just steps from downtown restaurants, shopping, boutiques, and entertainment. This rare offering seamlessly blends walkability, privacy, and natural beauty, allowing you to enjoy city conveniences while retreating to your own private sanctuary along the Ellijay River. The main residence offers approximately 3,936 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, featuring a stately brick faade, spacious living areas, warm wood accents, abundant natural light, and a flowing floor plan ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, with solid construction and generous proportions that provide the perfect canvas for thoughtful renovation or modernization. Outside, the property unfolds into gently rolling acreage framed by mature hardwoods and open meadows, all embraced by over 2,300 feet of Ellijay River frontage—ideal for fishing, kayaking, or peaceful moments by the water, a combination rarely found within city limits. Adding exceptional versatility is a second homesite with power and water already in place, along with multiple additional potential building sites throughout the acreage, each offering privacy and unique character, making this property well-suited for a private riverfront estate, legacy family retreat, or boutique development opportunity. Properties with this rare combination of acreage, river frontage, and downtown walkability are almost never available, making 195 River Street one of Ellijay's most unique and irreplaceable offerings.
