201 Talona Lake Terrace

Rare opportunity to own a private 1-acre retreat with long-range lake views and exceptional outdoor living, just minutes from downtown Ellijay. The true standout of this property is the lifestyle it offers. Multiple expansive decks, a custom pergola, and a private walkway leading toward the lake create a setting that feels like your own personal escape-perfect for both quiet mornings and entertaining. Enjoy year-round views and a level of privacy that is increasingly difficult to find in this area. Recently positioned as one of the best values in the Talona Lake area, this home offers a unique combination of scenic views, usable acreage, and proximity to town-features rarely found together at this price point. Designed for comfortable one-level living, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch sits on a gently rolling acre with paved access and easy connectivity to Ellijay's shopping, dining, wineries, and medical facilities. Unlike many nearby properties geared toward short-term rentals, this home offers the ideal layout and setting for full-time living or a peaceful second-home retreat. Outdoor living is truly exceptional, featuring a screened porch with custom wood accents, multiple entertaining areas, a hot tub, fire pit space, rear awning with fans, and thoughtfully designed landscaping that blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Inside, the open floor plan flows into a beautifully updated kitchen with leathered granite countertops, rich wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, custom backsplash, pantry shelving, and refined trim work. French doors in both the family room and primary suite bring in natural light while seamlessly connecting indoor spaces to the outdoors. Hardwood floors run throughout the home. The primary suite offers peaceful lake views, custom built-ins, and a private bath, while two additional bedrooms provide flexible space for guests, office use, or everyday living. Extensive improvements add long-term value and peace of mind, including full Tyvek waterproof siding replacement, drainage and grading enhancements, exterior electrical upgrades, a direct gas line to the grill, and a 24KW Generac whole-house generator. An oversized two-car garage with built-in shelving and a high-ceiling attic with expansion potential further enhance functionality.
