NEWLY COMPLETED & MOVE-IN READY! Discover refined mountain living on a private 3.56-acre homesite in the gated community of Rivers Edge. This beautifully crafted 3BR/3BA rustic ranch welcomes you with stepless entry and a light-filled, vaulted great room featuring exposed beams, a gas-log fireplace, and ridge and sunset views. The open, well-appointed kitchen offers a spacious island and flows effortlessly into the separate dining room, creating an inviting setting for everyday living and entertaining. White oak flooring and graceful arched doorways bring warmth and character throughout. Designed for convenient one-level living, the main floor includes two bedrooms-both with vaulted ceilings-including the primary suite, along with a conveniently located laundry room. The finished terrace-level guest suite features a full bath and oversized walk-in closet, while the expansive "unfinished" area offers an easy path to creating a family or recreation room, fourth bedroom, and generous storage space. Step outside to more than 1,100 square feet of outdoor living across two levels of covered porches and open decking, all overlooking a peaceful, private backyard. Additional highlights include a circle driveway, all-paved access, fiber internet, community water, and quality craftsmanship from an experienced builder. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence or a quiet mountain retreat, this exceptional home delivers privacy without sacrificing convenience. Directly across the road is community green space preserved as vacant, undeveloped land providing an added sense of openness and privacy without the concern of a future home being built there. Enjoy nearby kayaking, tubing, and fishing on the Cartecay River, along with hiking trails, vineyards, local orchards, and the shops and dining of Downtown Ellijay.
