Property Description
A rare opportunity to own one of Talona Lake's most desirable waterfront homes. Offering an exceptional blend of peaceful lakefront living, modern convenience, and true one-level comfort, this beautifully maintained home captures everything buyers seek in a North Georgia retreat. Tucked along the tranquil shores of Talona Lake, you'll enjoy the serenity of waterfront living while remaining just minutes from Ellijay's shopping, dining, healthcare, and outdoor recreation. Designed for both effortless entertaining and comfortable everyday living, the thoughtfully designed floor plan creates inviting spaces that flow naturally throughout the home. The spacious living room opens seamlessly into the beautifully updated kitchen, where an oversized leathered granite center island with bar seating serves as the heart of the home. Just beyond, a versatile flex space currently functions as a home office but easily adapts into a formal dining room, second family room, reading lounge, hobby room, or creative studio. Spacious bedrooms, beautiful flooring, a generously sized laundry room, and tasteful finishes throughout complete this warm and welcoming residence. The outdoor living experience is equally impressive. Begin your mornings with coffee on the screened porch overlooking the lake, unwind in the private hot tub after a day on the water, or entertain family and friends across multiple outdoor gathering spaces. A gentle pathway leads to your private lakeside seating area where fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, birdwatching, or simply watching spectacular sunsets become part of everyday life. Unlike many larger recreational lakes, Talona Lake is cherished for its peaceful atmosphere, limited boat traffic, and relaxed pace-offering a waterfront lifestyle centered on tranquility rather than crowds. Comfort and peace of mind continue throughout the property with an oversized two-car garage, a whole-house 24kW Generac generator, a dedicated propane connection for outdoor grilling, and a beautifully landscaped one-acre lot offering an easy, gentle walk to the shoreline. One of this home's greatest advantages is its exceptional location. Enjoy the privacy of lakefront living while being just five minutes from Highway 515, providing convenient access to Metro Atlanta and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Everyday conveniences-including Walmart, Publix, Aldi, and the new Piedmont Hospital-are all within five minutes. Located near Ellijay's celebrated apple orchards, wineries, hiking trails, historic downtown, and year-round festivals, you'll enjoy the very best of North Georgia living. Carter's Lake is approximately 15 miles away, Murphy, North Carolina, is less than an hour away, and Cherokee is an easy day trip, placing some of the Southeast's most desirable outdoor destinations within easy reach. Every season brings its own beauty. Spring mornings begin with coffee on the screened porch as the lake awakens around you. Summer days invite kayaking, fishing, paddleboarding, and evenings spent entertaining on the deck. Autumn transforms the surrounding mountains into brilliant shades of gold, crimson, and amber, their reflections shimmering across the water, while crisp evenings are perfect for soaking in the hot tub beneath a canopy of stars. Winter offers peaceful lake views, quiet sunsets, and the simple comfort of gathering with family after a day exploring the North Georgia mountains. This is more than a home-it's a place where memories are made, traditions are created, and life naturally slows to the pace you've been searching for.
