About 244 Wilderness Way
**Timeless Mountain Luxury!** 5 Bedroom/5 Bath Lodge-Style Retreat in *The Hemlocks*, privately set on 5 acres with long-range MOUNTAIN VIEWS. Inside, hand-scraped Siberian wood floors, soaring ceilings, and three stone fireplaces with black walnut mantels showcase extraordinary craftsmanship, while the chef's kitchen boasts custom knotty alder cabinetry, exotic granite, high-end appliances (including a brand-new refrigerator), pot-filler, and walk-in pantry. A spacious dining area with oversized windows and a dramatic stone accent wall creates an inviting gathering space. ALL BEDROOMS ARE EN-SUITE, including the main-level primary with dual closets, spa-like bath, and private access to the screened porch with outdoor fireplace. The finished terrace level offers a family room with fireplace, second kitchen, game area, 2 guest suites, plus a 5-seat home theatre wired for 9-channel surround (also designed as a safe room). Upstairs features a private guest suite and a huge bonus room with wet bar. Outdoor living abounds with 790+ sq ft of decks/porches plus a screened lounge with fireplace. Extras include a 4-car garage with EV charger, generator, water filtration system, private well with new pump, fiber internet, and 3-zoned HVAC. A gentle babbling brook adds charm to the wooded acreage. (Adjacent 5 acre lot is available for additional cost.) *The Hemlocks* is a hidden gem—an intimate gated community of only 20 estate lots (5+ acres each), known for big views, pristine privacy, and one of the most scenic drives in Ellijay along Turniptown Road as it meanders alongside Turniptown Creek. This home is just 15 minutes to town yet you will feel worlds away, with hiking and mountain adventures right outside your door. No STRs.
