Some homes are simply built. Others are built around a dream-a private, treehouse-like retreat overlooking a picturesque creek reminiscent of the Montana wilderness. This family brought their creekfront dream to life, and now they're ready for another family to make special memories of their own. Completed in 2023, this beautiful Craftsman-style retreat offers an impressive 327 feet of frontage along Talking Rock Creek. Thoughtfully created as a place to slow down, gather with family, and enjoy everything that makes the North Georgia mountains so special, this is a home designed for making memories. Surrounded by breathtaking mountain views and exceptional privacy, the outdoor living spaces invite you to stay awhile-soak in the hot tub on the lower-level deck, gather around the firepit, or simply sit back and listen to Talking Rock Creek below. The owner has already had a trail cleared all the way to the creek, making those 327 feet of frontage an accessible part of the property rather than simply something to admire from above. Additional plans were never completed, leaving plenty of opportunity for the next owner to make it their own. Inside, the home feels fresh, warm, and inviting. The main level offers two bedrooms and two full baths, while the partially finished basement includes a full bath, den, storage, and unfinished space with flexibility for guest quarters, a home office, exercise room, or additional sleeping space. Located within Talking Rock Creek Resort spanning over 5,000 acres, the private creek beach and Trout Lodge are approximately a minute away, with a quieter pool and tennis courts just a couple of minutes from home. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, second home, mountain getaway, or potential short-term rental, this property offers a rare combination of like brand new construction, creek frontage, mountain views, exceptional privacy on a paved road. Creekside mornings, sunsets from the deck, evenings by the firepit, and star-filled nights-your private or income producing mountain retreat awaits.

The house may feel like home, but it's what lies beyond the backyard that makes this setting hard to replicate. Set on more than 2 acres, the property borders U.S. Forest Service land, with thousands of wooded acres stretching beyond your own - a rare backdrop that adds a sense of privacy and connection to the mountains without putting you far from town. Closer to home, a gently sloping lawn, mature trees, small pond, stonework, and charming footbridge give the property an established feel with plenty of character. Inside, the layout was made for comfortable everyday living, with all three bedrooms on the main level and an open living and dining area anchored by hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and a stone fireplace. Just beyond, a sunroom wrapped in windows offers a cozy place for morning coffee, reading, or watching the seasons change through the trees. Covered porches front and back create even more room to slow down outside, while the partially finished terrace level, two-car garage, and separate powered garage provide space for storage, hobbies, or future possibilities. The community also offers private access to the Cartecay River with two riverside pavilions, while Downtown Ellijay is only about five minutes away. With short-term rentals permitted, there's flexibility for how the property can be enjoyed, whether as an everyday home, a mountain getaway, or a place to share with others!
