Your Guide to Moving, Living, and Thriving in Metro Atlanta

1273 Villa Drive; Ellijay, GA 30540

$479,000

Welcome to your dream mountain escape tucked inside the gated Coosawattee River Resort community in Ellijay Georgia, where this cabin style retreat blends rustic charm and modern comfort across three finished floors. One of the rarest features here is the almost level lot, a true find in the mountains where steep grades and long staircases are the norm, giving you easy walkable access to the home, yard and outdoor spaces without the usual mountain terrain challenges. From the gravel drive, the metal roof and wooded surroundings signal this place is special. Step onto the covered front porch and feel the stress melt away as tall trees and peaceful privacy wrap around you. Inside, soaring cathedral ceilings and rich wood finishes create a warm atmosphere where a generous eat in kitchen flows into a comfortable living room perfect for gathering. The primary suite sits on the main floor and offers a smart bonus, half of the closet is ready for a stackable washer and dryer while still leaving generous closet space, giving future owners true main floor laundry in addition to the laundry room below. A spectacular open loft above creates endless possibilities for a bunk room, media lounge or creative retreat. The fully finished lower level surprises with an oversized bedroom, a full bath, a laundry room and a flexible bonus room for a game room, home office or guest suite. A massive attached garage adds incredible storage. This home is also a dream for pet lovers, the entire yard is fully fenced, a rare and highly sought after feature in this part of the mountains, giving pets and kids room to roam safely. Outside, your private wooded yard offers peace and serenity while world class Coosawattee amenities including a pool, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, river access, clubhouse and playground are just moments away. Short term rentals are currently allowed, making this an outstanding investment opportunity in North Georgia.
