Spectacular frontage on the Cartecay River! This 2.56-acre riverfront estate offers the rare opportunity to own a true River Lodge on the highly sought-after “Shoals,” where whitewater rapids cascade over exposed rock formations, creating breathtaking scenery and the soothing sounds of rushing water year-round. With 271 feet of river frontage, no HOA, all paved roads, and less than 5 miles from downtown Ellijay, this is a truly rare offering. Designed for mountain river living at its finest, the open-concept interior features soaring cathedral ceilings, custom wood accents, built-in bookcases, and a stunning stone wood-burning fireplace. The spacious kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, walk-in pantry, stainless appliances, and seamless flow into the dining area and sunroom overlooking the river. The oversized primary suite includes a steam shower, jetted tub, and private retreat space, while the upper level features two expansive guest suites, two half baths, and a shared spa-like bathroom. (Upstairs banister hand-carved and imported from Sweden.) Outdoor living shines with the all-new party porch overlooking the falls, riverside firepit, wraparound covered porches, koi pond, level yard, and easy river access. Recent upgrades include a new metal roof, exterior paint, lighting & fans, Generac whole-house generator, refrigerator, dishwasher, and garage door system. Additional features include gated entry, 2-car garage, public utilities, high-speed internet, and no HOA fees. Flood insurance not required. Lovingly maintained as a private mountain retreat and never used as a vacation rental, though STRs are permitted.
