    What's special

    Garden area
    One of the more affordable opportunities to own a traditional 3-bedroom, 2-bath home near the heart of Ellijay! Located less than a mile from Downtown Ellijay, this bungalow offers the chance to put your own ideas into a home in one of North Georgias most popular mountain communities. The home already has a newer roof installed in 2025, plus a large powered shed/workshop that offers plenty of room for tools, hobbies, storage or projects. The property also features fenced areas in both the front and back yards and a garden area ready for your plans. This is a fixer-upper and is priced accordingly. The home currently relies on window A/C units and will need an HVAC upgrade, along with some additional TLC and renovation work. Bring your contractor, renovation ideas and an open mind and create something special. The location is a major part of the opportunity. Enjoy being close to Downtown Ellijays shops, restaurants and local events while also having easy access to the mountains, rivers, hiking, biking, orchards, wineries and other outdoor recreation that make Ellijay such a desirable North Georgia destination. Potential tax advantage for qualifying homeowners: Gilmer County offers several homestead exemptions, including an Age 65 School Tax Homestead Exemption that may provide a complete exemption from the local school tax for qualifying homeowners. Buyers should verify eligibility and potential savings with the Gilmer County Tax Assessors Office. If youve been looking for an affordable way into Ellijay and dont mind putting some sweat equity into your home, this one is worth a look!
