Property Description
An exceptional opportunity to own one of the most unique riverfront properties in North Georgia. Nestled on a private 1-acre lot with over 290 feet of stunning Cartecay River frontage, this rare property offers deep-water access, breathtaking views, and an unbeatable setting just minutes from downtown Ellijay. The existing home occupies a location that could not be replicated under today's building regulations, making this an incredibly valuable opportunity. While the structure cannot be demolished, it is eligible for a full-scale renovation, allowing you to completely transform the home into a luxurious riverfront retreat while preserving its grandfathered footprint. Buyers also have the opportunity to build upward, creating additional living space and maximizing the spectacular river views. Whether you're envisioning a custom primary residence, a weekend mountain escape, or an investment property, the possibilities are extraordinary. Spend your days kayaking, tubing, fishing, or simply relaxing along one of the area's most sought-after stretches of the Cartecay River. The gently sloping lot provides exceptional usability, while mature hardwoods create a peaceful, private setting. The property is already improved with a well, septic system, and electricity, providing an excellent foundation for your renovation plans. Property is Sold As-Is, all systems are not currently in use. Located approximately 3.8 miles from downtown Ellijay, you'll enjoy convenient access to charming shops, local restaurants, wineries, apple orchards, hiking trails, Amicalola Falls, Fort Mountain State Park, Brasstown Bald, and countless outdoor adventures that make North Georgia such a desirable destination. Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare, and a grandfathered riverfront footprint, expansive frontage, deep-water access, and the ability to create a completely reimagined home in a location that simply could not be duplicated today. This is your chance to design an extraordinary riverfront legacy property in one of Ellijay's most coveted settings. Please note: The existing structure has unsafe conditions, and all showings must sign a Hold Harmless document (on file) prior to being approved to visit the property.
