Some homes are built to fit into a neighborhood. This one was built to disappear into its surroundings. Tucked behind the trees at the end of a cul-de-sac, this one-of-a-kind 2023 custom Modern Craftsman sits on 5.23 acres inside gated Sassafras Mountain, an intimate community of fewer than 15 homes where every homesite offers more than 3 acres. With no immediate neighbors and surrounding lots offering potential to expand, privacy here is increasingly rare. A long private drive opens to an expansive front lawn, mature woods and landscaping, while a winding brick pathway leads to a wraparound porch with partial brick columns and tongue-and-groove ceilings. Inside, soaring ceilings reaching approximately 20 feet and walls of oversized windows fill the main living area with natural light. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the open floor plan, while built-ins and custom details give the home character beyond production construction. The chef-inspired kitchen features leathered marble countertops, an oversized statement island, custom cabinetry, elevated fixtures, appliances and a walk-in butler's pantry. A separate dining area wrapped in windows feels connected to the surrounding woods. The main-level primary suite offers separate his-and-hers closets and a spa-inspired bath with an oversized two-person soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, double vanity and private water closet. Upstairs are two bedrooms with walk-in closets plus a massive flex room ideal as a fourth bedroom, second living area, office, media room or playroom. An oversized mudroom, dedicated laundry with folding station, three-car garage and abundant parking add everyday function. Out back, a white picket fence encloses a private yard for kids and pets. Minutes from Downtown Ellijay, orchards, river recreation and hiking, this isn't the typical Ellijay cabin or crowded resort property. It's a custom home hidden among the trees with 5.23 acres and room to truly live the North Georgia mountain lifestyle.
