Property Description

Southern Riverfront Luxury Meets Investment Gold -- Your Private Cartecay Retreat Awaits Tucked into a gentle bend of the sparkling Cartecay River, this furnished luxury mountain chalet is more than a home--it's a lifestyle, an experience, and a rare investment opportunity rolled into one. Wake up each morning to the soothing sound of rushing rapids, sunlight streaming through floor-to-ceiling windows, and coffee on your private balcony as mist rises from the water. It's pure mountain magic. Crafted with rich custom woodwork, stacked stone accents, and a dramatic two-story fireplace, this Southern-inspired retreat brings comfort and class together in perfect harmony. The heart of the home--the chef's kitchen--is ready for gatherings big or small, while the primary suite is your personal hideaway, complete with a spa-style bath, stone shower, jetted tub, and a peaceful screened porch overlooking the river. Upstairs, two charming bedrooms open to private balconies with jaw-dropping river views, plus a cozy loft and full bath. Downstairs, the terrace level was built for memory-making: enjoy a fireside family room, serving bar, two more guest bedrooms, and an extra full bath--ideal for hosting or creating a separate rental suite. Outside, follow lighted walking paths through native landscaping to the river's edge where adventure and serenity meet. Cast a line, launch a kayak, or just soak in the sounds of nature. With a one-car garage, covered carport, fresh exterior paint, a new roof, and a newly paved driveway, the work's been done so you can simply enjoy--or profit. NO HOA, short-term rental-friendly, and professionally decorated, this property is primed for full-time living, a second home, or an income-producing vacation rental. Minutes from Ellijay but a world away in feel--come see what mountain living is supposed to be. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of riverfront paradise in the heart of Southern Appalachia. Call now for your private tour!
