Perched directly on the banks of the Cartecay River, this rare two-bedroom cottage offers an immersive riverfront lifestyle you can't replicate today. Built in 1987-before building codes restricted proximity to the water-this home places you right at the edge of rushing water and a Class 2 rapid. With only three owners in its history, opportunities like this are few and far between. From trout fishing off the deck to relaxing in the riverside sunroom, every moment here feels like an escape. Inside, you'll find vaulted ceilings, shiplap walls and ceilings, wrapped beams, refinished hardwood floors, and a brand-new stacked stone fireplace. The kitchen and baths feature quartz countertops, all new windows, and upgraded light fixtures throughout-every detail has been thoughtfully curated. Recently renovated, this home is turnkey and short-term rental ready. It sits on over half an acre in a gated community just minutes from downtown Ellijay-home to seasonal Apple Festivals, charming shops, and top North Georgia vineyards. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or a strong investment opportunity, this riverfront gem offers both. A one-of-a-kind experience in a location that can't be duplicated-don't miss your chance to own this Cartecay River treasure.
