A 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath single family residence in Ellijay.

Some homes sit in the mountains; this one was designed to experience them. Tucked into 4.01 private wooded acres between Ellijay and Blue Ridge, this architecturally distinctive 2024 contemporary retreat brings the North Georgia landscape into nearly every room. In spring and summer, the home feels suspended within a lush green canopy. As autumn gives way to winter and the leaves fall, the view opens across the ridgeline, revealing beautiful long-range mountain scenery through the windows and from the expansive deck. The experience begins with the home's striking modern profile, dark exterior and elevated design blending naturally into the wooded hillside. Inside, soaring ceilings, clean lines and an abundance of glass create a bright, open atmosphere while keeping the forest and mountains constantly in view. The vaulted living room is both dramatic and inviting, with towering windows framing the changing seasons and a central fireplace creating a natural gathering place. Imagine quiet mornings watching sunlight move through the trees and cool winter evenings beside the fire with the mountains visible beyond the glass. The open kitchen was designed for connection. An oversized island with seating for four anchors the space, providing room for conversation, casual meals and serving during gatherings. Generous shaker cabinetry, expansive countertops, stainless-steel appliances, an electric cooktop, built-in oven and microwave, beverage cooler and abundant storage combine contemporary style with everyday function. Its open placement allows the host to remain connected with guests, the fireplace and the view. Beyond the kitchen, a spacious dining and flex area creates an exceptional indoor-outdoor entertaining experience. Multiple oversized glass doors fill the room with natural light and open directly onto the large deck. With the doors open, the kitchen, dining area, living room and deck function as one continuous gathering space. Host dinner beneath the trees, enjoy morning coffee overlooking the forest or relax as sunlight filters across the ridgeline. The deck offers a front-row seat to the property's changing personality—from the privacy of a leafy summer canopy to the wider mountain vistas of winter. When the day winds down, a separate sleeping wing provides privacy away from the main gathering spaces. Both bedrooms feature vaulted ceilings, oversized windows, peaceful, wooded outlooks and large walk-in closets. The separation between the entertaining and sleeping areas gives the floor plan a thoughtful, retreat-like quality. The spa-inspired full bath continues the connection to nature. An extended dual-sink vanity provides generous counter space and cabinetry, while the oversized frameless-glass shower is finished with large-format tile, a contrasting mosaic floor and matte-black fixtures. A carefully positioned window brings daylight and mountain scenery into the shower, transforming an everyday routine into another opportunity to enjoy the setting. A separate powder room serves guests without requiring them to enter the private sleeping wing. Practical spaces received the same attention. The dedicated laundry room offers extensive upper and lower cabinetry, a folding counter and room for full-size side-by-side appliances. Additional storage helps preserve the home's clean, uncluttered design. Outside, a paved driveway leads to covered parking, while the contemporary exterior, elevated architecture and wooded surroundings create a memorable sense of arrival. This is more than a stylish mountain home. It is a four-season experience: green and secluded in summer, colorful in fall, open to the mountains in winter and renewed with light each spring. Whether gathering around the island, opening the glass doors for an evening on the deck, watching the ridgeline emerge through the trees or relaxing beside the fireplace, every part of the home invites a closer connection to the North Georgia landscape.
