About This Home

A rare offering reminiscent of a storybook countryside estate, this extraordinary gated farmhouse property spans nearly 10 unrestricted acres of rolling pasture, a private pond, and a babbling creek winding through the landscape, all just minutes from Downtown Ellijay. Framed by mountain scenery and designed for generations of gathering, the stately residence serves as the ultimate family compound, luxury micro farm, or private legacy retreat with the perfect blend of privacy, beauty, and usability. Warm custom woodwork, expansive living spaces, and refined farmhouse finishes create an atmosphere that feels both timeless and elevated throughout the home. The gourmet kitchen anchors the heart of the residence with dual ovens, gas range, abundant prep space, and seamless flow into the main living and dining areas designed for entertaining on a grand scale. Each of the four spacious bedrooms features its own ensuite bath and walk-in closet, including a luxurious primary suite with dual closets, private water closet, spa-inspired tilework, and oversized multi-head shower. The terrace level offers a handicap-accessible ensuite, workshop space, and an additional pull-in garage ideal for recreational vehicles, equipment, or hobby space. A finished loft and game room/office create even more flexibility for hosting family and guests under one roof. Designed to embrace outdoor living as much as the interiors, the estate also features a gourmet outdoor kitchen complete with a pizza oven overlooking the surrounding pasture and water features. The classic barn with upper-level storage and stable spaces lends itself beautifully to horses, livestock, gardening, studio space, or future guest quarters. Fully paved and gated, this one-of-a-kind property offers the rare combination of usable acreage, water features, privacy, and estate presence just minutes from Ellijay's wineries, orchards, dining, and shopping.
