About this home

Extraordinary Mountaintown Creek Cabin in Ellijay. A truly rare cabin and property combination offering privacy, natural beauty, and an exceptional collection of amenities in a secure gated community(offering pools, tennis courts, river access, walking trails, camping, playgrounds, and more with a mountain feel, including a healthy deer population)-just 10 minutes from shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences. Set on 3.25 acres of private hardwoods, mountain laurel, rhododendrons, and blazing azaleas, it is positioned directly above Mountaintown Creek, where the sights and sounds of rushing water become part of everyday life. The property includes approximately 240' of Mountaintown Creek frontage with remarkably easy access to the water. No long stairways or steep trails-just seven giant, flat rock stepping stones leading directly into the creek. Enjoy swimming, tubing, fishing, wading, or merely relaxing beside the water. At the corner of the backyard, the creek creates a dramatic stretch of noisy whitewater. A Backyard Designed Around the Creek The backyard is terraced with natural-rock retaining walls, creating three distinct levels for enjoying the creek, surrounding woods, wildlife, and mountain sounds. A huge rock fire pit with built-in circular seating for 12, plus four Adirondack chairs, creates an incredible gathering space overlooking the water. Extensive hardscaping connects the home to the creek, incorporating large natural rocks, giant stone blocks, local stone, and river-pebble walkways. The result is a beautiful, low-maintenance outdoor setting integrated into the surrounding landscape. The cabin is an exceptional match for this one-of-a-kind natural setting, with multiple windows designed to capture the creek views and sounds. Altogether, this rare Mountaintown Creek Retreat has an unforgettable setting, exceptional outdoor living, and a true sense of escape.
