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.
