Your mountain escape begins with a peaceful scenic drive alongside Turniptown Creek—and arrives at a rustic retreat where the views, privacy, and outdoor living steal the show! Set on 3.04 private acres in The Hemlocks, this beautifully updated 5BR/3.5BA home offers year-round, close-range mountain views and exceptional outdoor living. Gather around the fireplace on the new covered porch, soak up the scenery from the open porch, or slip away to the screened porch off the primary suite, where the sounds of the nearby creek make quiet mornings even sweeter. Inside, the great room welcomes you with soaring ceilings, a woodburning fireplace, newly refinished hardwood floors, and a wall of windows framing the mountains. The spacious kitchen is made for cooks and company alike, featuring a large island, 48-inch gas range, adjoining keeping room/den, and an oversized pantry/laundry room. A main-level primary suite and half bath offer everyday convenience, while the upper level includes a loft, two bedrooms, and a full bath. The newly finished terrace level provides an inviting gathering space with a large family room opening to the lower deck, two bedrooms with walk-in closets, and a full bath with a tile shower. New LVP flooring and dedicated new HVAC complete this level. Additional improvements include a new roof and exterior paint, with a whole-house dehumidifier and water filtration system adding comfort throughout. The detached garage features two vehicle bays, a smaller third bay ideal for outdoor equipment, and an additional unfinished room offering storage or potential flex space. Bordering the National Forest, The Hemlocks is one of Ellijay’s best-kept secrets—an intimate gated community of just 20 estate-sized homesites. Only 20 minutes from Downtown Ellijay and close to local vineyards & apple orchards, this home offers space to gather, room to retreat, and a mountain setting you’ll love coming home to. (Furnishings negotiable.) No short-term rentals permitted.
