Tucked away on 8 beautiful acres in the North Georgia mountains, this established homestead offers the rare opportunity to embrace a simpler, more self-sufficient lifestyle without starting from scratch. Approximately 2.5 cleared acres feature completely organic land, including fenced pastures, terraced gardens, raised beds, a greenhouse, chicken and duck coops, and established fruit trees and berry bushes. Spend your mornings gathering fresh eggs, afternoons tending the garden, and evenings relaxing beside your very own spring-fed creek, complete with a charming footbridge and creekside fire pit. The remaining wooded acreage provides wonderful privacy, abundant wildlife, and room to explore and grow. At the heart of the property sits a charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath mountain home with a spacious open loft, beautiful stone wood burning fireplace, custom reclaimed-wood kitchen cabinetry, and a full-length covered front porch overlooking the peaceful surroundings. A 40' x 12' barn-style outbuilding with electricity, loft storage, and ground work in place for running water offers plenty of room for tools, equipment, and homesteading projects, while additional sheds provide even more flexibility. Modern conveniences include a private well, whole-house water filtration, tankless water heater, and high-speed ETC fiber internet, making remote work and country living an easy combination. With no HOA and downtown Ellijay approximately 10 miles away, you'll enjoy the freedom and tranquility of mountain living while remaining close to local orchards, wineries, shopping, dining, and outdoor adventures. Whether you're dreaming of a hobby farm, a family homestead, or simply a place to slow down and reconnect with nature, the groundwork has already been laid.
