The Riverfront Retreat You've Been Waiting For. Escape to a place where the rugged beauty of the North Georgia mountains meets the refined comfort of a luxury lodge. Tucked away within a private gated community, this extraordinary retreat sits on a rare stretch of the Ellijay River, offering over 200 feet of pristine river frontage. It's a setting that feels worlds away—where the only sounds are the rhythmic rush of the water and the calls of mountain birds—yet it's designed for effortless entertaining and modern living. The architecture perfectly balances rustic charm with high-end finishes. Inside, the open-concept main level serves as the heart of the home, featuring a rock fireplace that anchors the living space and an upscale kitchen ready for a chef. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, the floor-to-ceiling windows frame a stunning, rare dual perspective of both the rolling mountains and the flowing river below. Designed with privacy in mind, the layout features three distinct bedroom suites, one on each level, providing a secluded sanctuary for everyone. The upper loft adds a touch of mountain-chic character with custom barn doors and a built-in bunk area, perfect for maximizing sleeping capacity without sacrificing style. The terrace level is a true destination for fun, boasting a dedicated game room, a wet bar, and a cozy den with its own fireplace. Step outside to discover what mountain living is all about: expansive wrap-around porches and two separate firepit areas strategically placed to enjoy the crisp evening air and the glow of the embers under a canopy of stars. This property is being offered fully furnished and comes with a proven track record as a successful vacation rental, making it as much a smart investment as it is a breathtaking getaway. Whether you're looking for a turnkey rental or a personal riverfront sanctuary, this Ellijay River gem is ready for its next chapter.
