244 Wilderness WAY Ellijay, GA 30536

Timeless Mountain Luxury-Now Elevated with Fresh Upgrades! Perfectly positioned on 5 private acres in the coveted Hemlocks community, this 5BR/5BA lodge-style retreat offers long-range mountain views, refined craftsmanship, and a true sense of escape just 15 minutes from town. Step inside to a refreshed interior featuring brand-new 5" white oak hardwood floors, new interior paint, and spaces enhanced by recent vista pruning that beautifully opens up the view, while soaring ceilings, hand-crafted details, and three stunning stone fireplaces with black walnut mantels create an unforgettable first impression. The chef's kitchen is both functional and show-stopping with custom knotty alder cabinetry, exotic granite, high-end appliances, pot filler, and an upgraded walk-in pantry, flowing into a spacious dining area framed by oversized windows & a dramatic stone accent wall. ALL bedrooms are en-suite, including the main-level primary retreat with dual closets, spa-like bath, and private access to the screened porch with outdoor fireplace. The finished terrace level is designed for entertaining and relaxation with a family room, fireplace, second kitchen, game area, two guest suites, and a 5-seat home theatre wired for 9-channel surround (also ideal as a safe room), while the upper level features an additional guest suite and a large bonus room with a wet bar. Outdoor living truly shines with 790+ sq ft of decks and porches, including a screened lounging area w/fireplace. Additional features include a 4-car garage with EV charger, generator, water filtration system, private well, FIBER internet, and 3-zoned HVAC. The Hemlocks is one of Ellijay's best-kept secrets-an intimate gated community of only 20 estate-sized homesites known for privacy, big views, and one of the most scenic drives in North Georgia alongside Turniptown Creek. Furnishings negotiable. No short-term rentals allowed. (Adjacent 5-acre lot available for additional purchase.) Updated photos coming soon!
