195 River St, Ellijay, GA 30540

Discover a property unlike anything else in Ellijay; a 26.5-acre riverfront estate just a short walk from the heart of downtown. Where else can you stroll to restaurants, shops, and local festivals, then retreat to your own private sanctuary along the river? This remarkable in-town acreage combines privacy, convenience, and natural beauty in one extraordinary offering. The main home spans approximately 3,936 sq ft, featuring 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, a grand brick faade, spacious living areas, and warm wood finishes that reflect the timeless charm of classic Southern architecture. The layout offers plenty of space for family gatherings or entertaining, with an easy flow between rooms and an abundance of natural light. With solid construction and generous proportions, this home is the perfect canvas for a thoughtful renovation or modernization. Outside, the property unfolds into gently rolling land framed by mature hardwoods and open meadows all encompassed by over 2300ft of the Ellijay River — ideal for fishing, kayaking, or simply relaxing by the water. Few properties offer this much usable land with such easy river access, especially inside the city limits. Adding even more value is a second homesite with power, and water already in place, offering opportunities for a guest cottage, family compound, or future investment build. The acreage provides multiple potential building sites, each with its own sense of seclusion and character. Whether you're envisioning a private estate, a boutique riverfront development, or a legacy family retreat, 195 River Street delivers unmatched potential in one of North Georgia's most desirable small towns. Properties with this combination of acreage, water frontage, and walkability are almost never available. Don't miss this once-in-a-generation opportunity to own Ellijay's most unique in-town riverfront estate.
