Southern Riverfront Luxury Meets Investment Gold — Your Private Cartecay Retreat Awaits. Tucked into a gentle bend of the sparkling Cartecay River, this furnished luxury mountain chalet is more than a home—it's a lifestyle, an experience, and a rare investment opportunity rolled into one. Wake up each morning to the soothing sound of rushing rapids, sunlight streaming through floor-to-ceiling windows, and coffee on your private balcony as mist rises from the water. It's pure mountain magic. Crafted with rich custom woodwork, stacked stone accents, and a dramatic two-story fireplace, this Southern-inspired retreat brings comfort and class together in perfect harmony. The heart of the home—the chef's kitchen—is ready for gatherings big or small, while the primary suite is your personal hideaway, complete with a spa-style bath, stone shower, jetted tub, and a peaceful screened porch overlooking the river. Upstairs, two charming bedrooms open to private balconies with jaw-dropping river views, plus a cozy loft and full bath. Downstairs, the terrace level was built for memory-making: enjoy a fireside family room, serving bar, two more guest bedrooms, and an extra full bath—ideal for hosting or creating a separate rental suite. Outside, follow lighted walking paths through native landscaping to the river's edge where adventure and serenity meet. Cast a line, launch a kayak, or just soak in the sounds of nature. With a one-car garage, covered carport, fresh exterior paint, a new roof, and a newly paved driveway, the work's been done so you can simply enjoy—or profit. NO HOA, short-term rental-friendly, and professionally decorated, this property is primed for full-time living, a second home, or an income-producing vacation rental. Minutes from Ellijay but a world away in feel—come see what mountain living is supposed to be. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of riverfront paradise in the heart of Southern Appalachia.
