Discover Ellijay Real Estate
With its rich history and vibrant atmosphere, Ellijay, Georgia is a city for passionate nature-lovers. It is the county seat of Gilmer County, and the city of East Ellijay is found right next door. Real estate in Ellijay is quite unique, and takes on a number of architectural styles, but it is most well-known for its beautiful log cabins. For those dreaming or private, tranquil properties that are tucked away into the lush forest, then this is the perfect city to settle down in.
Homes for sale in Ellijay include everything from charming bungalows to large luxury homes. Properties on the real estate market include a wide range of construction dates as well. A good portion of the real estate market is made up of homes built before the 19670s. Typically, these are bungalows, as this was the prevalent style of the time. Homeowners have kept these historic homes well-maintained, and most have been upgraded and renovated on the inside.
Historic homes in Ellijay don’t usually pop up on the real estate market, and are usually quite in-demand because of this. Some homes in the city have construction dates that go back as far as the 1940s, and make for a lovely, charming place to live. However, these properties are often built in Cottage or other Traditional styles, and not the log cabins that the city is recognized for.
Unlike some of the surrounding communities, the Ellijay real estate market consists of many different home styles and types. This includes a number of Cape Cod, Craftsman, and Traditional designs, available at a range of price points. Of course, those in the market for a log cabin home do also have a lot of choice in Ellijay.
Cabin style homes for sale also range in price point. When it comes to luxury properties, these can lean either more contemporary or more rustic. Homes are also built on generously-sized lots, and offer residents a lot of privacy. Common home features include exposed beams and a fireplace, as well as a large backyard deck—which can have beautiful forest views or overlook the mountainside.
Ellijay also has a number of vacant lots and land for sale, which presents a great opportunity to build your dream home. The city is also expanding, and subdivisions such as Highland Pointe allow homebuyers to purchase a new construction home.
