Charming Hilltop Retreat Overlooking the Cartecay River! * Welcome home to this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom true ranch perched on a quaint hilltop lot with seasonal views of the Cartecay River. The oversized primary suite opens directly to a private porch, so you can sip your morning coffee while soaking in those serene river views — a rare and coveted retreat you simply won't want to leave. Designed for those who love to live large, this home delivers an abundance of indoor and outdoor living space at every turn. The spacious great room — anchored by a cozy fireplace and new flooring throughout the main level — flows seamlessly to the large deck and two porches, creating a natural indoor-outdoor entertaining experience. The large eat-in kitchen has been beautifully updated with granite countertops and a stainless steel farmhouse sink, with direct access to the deck for effortless al fresco dining. Upstairs, a loft and bonus room overlook the great room below, offering flexible space perfect for a home office, creative studio, or additional lounge area — all with that open, connected feel. Updated features throughout — including refreshed bathrooms, all-new windows (2026), a serviced chimney and fireplace, and a septic system repaired and cleaned just two years ago — meaning you can move right in and enjoy, worry-free. Built to last with cedar shake shingles and a metal roof, and located just minutes from downtown Ellijay's shopping, dining, and festivals — plus popular apple orchards and wineries nearby — this hillside gem offers the perfect blend of comfort, character, seclusion, and convenience. Don't miss your chance to make it yours!
