This delightful country cottage is nestled on nearly four acres of rich farmland on historical Fort Mountain. The home itself offers charming country character combined with updated modern touches. There’s room for a second family home or a potential for a short term rental dwelling scenario. The location is also incredibly convenient, with Fort Mountain State Park (enjoy swimming, canoeing, paddle boat rentals, and explore popular hiking trails) just minutes away to the West. The Ellijays are minutes away to the East and provide the Restaurants, Shops and Events that people come from all over the Country to enjoy. Chatsworth, Dahlonega, Chattanooga and Atlanta are all within an hour from this central yet secluded neighborhood. The Tour de Georgia (Ellijay known as the #1 hot spot for mountain biking in the South) and the Apple Festivals (Ellijay is the Apple Capital of the South) are notable events enjoyed locally. This property boasts mature trees and is partially wooded, creating a serene and private setting. Notably, several Indian arrowheads have been discovered in the back field, hinting at the land's rich history. This location is truly perfect for homesteading, with the added benefit of two outbuildings. One of these is ideal for a workshop or even a "she shed," as it is already wired and plumbed for water. The property also features a private well with incredibly pure spring water – it's so good, you could bottle it! Additionally, there is a large walk-in chicken coop that could easily serve as a small animal enclosure. This spot has wide open pastures that offer the potential to plant a small vineyard on the property. Plenty of room for horses, cattle or fruit trees and of course vegetable gardening. Nature enthusiasts will be in their element here. Deer, turkey, and even the occasional mountain lion or bear pass through the property. For those who enjoy the night sky, the zero light pollution makes this a perfect spot for stargazing, so don't forget to bring your telescope, zoom lens or binoculars! Imagine taking relaxing walks in your backyard, picking wildflowers and blackberries along the way.
