Tucked away just 1 mile from downtown Ellijay, this 7.28 acre private retreat offering a truly enchanting setting unlike any other. Nature takes center stage here, with massive boulders, mature landscaping, and a rushing waterfall creek just steps from the door—creating an unforgettable backdrop to this rustic 1-bedroom, 1.5-bath Fixer Upper Cottage with absolute Seclusion and Privacy.Step inside to find Open Beam Construction, Open Floorplan and a Stacked Rock Backdrop to the wood-burning stove a more recent Kitchen Upgrade including stainless steel appliances and Granite CTops and more. The upstairs Sleeping Loft features a full bath and spacious closet, while Sliding Glass Doors below bring in the soothing sound of the nearby creek. Outside, winding walkways and a Koi Pon (just waiting for new fish) invite you to restore the once vibrant gardens. With well, power and septic operational, this property is ready for your renovation vision—though it will require significant work due to a failed chimney and other deferred maintenance. A non-habitable structure behind the home and debris are part of the cleanup opportunities this property is offered As-Is. This unique opportunity is perfect for nature lovers, visionaries, or builders seeking a potential second homesite above and behind the existing cottage. Whether you restore, rebuild, or expand, this property is a rare chance to own a piece of North Georgia's natural beauty so close to town.
