There are places that simply feel different the moment you arrive & this is one of them! Surrounded by towering trees with the constant sound of flowing water in the background, this magical property feels like its own private haven in the heart of North GA's apple country. A beautiful waterfall creek runs the rear length of the property, while the home & 3 add'l lots, encompass most of the cul-de-sac for exceptional privacy. Keep it all for yourself, or take advantage of the flexibility to build on or sell the lots in the future if desired. Perched among the trees & backing up to community protected land, w/tons of picture windows, the home has a treehouse-like feel, bringing the sights of nature & water plus seasonal lake view inside. The spacious great room features vaulted ceilings, natural light & clean drywall finishes before flowing into the kitchen with custom island & walk-in pantry. The adjoining dining area is surrounded by windows overlooking the water, while double sliding doors open to the wraparound rear porch & deck. The main level includes a bedroom with ensuite bath, while upstairs offers a loft/sleeping area with angled ceilings, an add'l bedroom & half bath. Downstairs, find more relaxation space, a bedroom/sleeping area, full bath & large laundry/mechanical room. Head outside to the full-length lower patio, custom firepit area & hot tub deck overlooking the creek. Follow the path down to a private creekside deck overlooking the cascading water, an incredible spot to experience this one-of-a-kind setting up close. Trex decking throughout makes outdoor living easier & a separate 14'x17' heated & cooled office/workshop adds even more usable space. Located in Walnut Mountain, enjoy hiking trails just around the corner, a community pool, tennis & access to Turniptown Creek, all just minutes from vineyards, apple orchards & downtown Ellijay. Peaceful, private & undeniably magical, this is the kind of place that makes you want to stay awhile.
