Blue Ridge was founded in 1886 with the arrival of the Marietta and North Georgia Railroad. Over the last ten years, it has grown to be one of Georgia’s most popular mountain destinations while staying true to its charming small-town origins. Its quaint downtown offers upscale restaurants, food tours, shopping, local breweries, wineries and a vibrant arts scene with galleries, a theater and live music on weekends. Outdoor lovers delight in the abundance of activities, including horseback riding through the Chattahoochee National Forest, white water rafting on the Ocoee River, kayaking at Lake Blue Ridge and hiking to waterfalls near Blue Ridge and the Toccoa River Swinging Bridge.
Whether you are looking for a weekend vacation home or a forever home, 604 Ensley Road in Epworth is your chance to own a truly one-of-a-kind property just 20 +/-minutes from downtown Blue Ridge. Located on Fightingtown Creek, this picturesque waterfront property is a nature lover’s paradise. Designed to take in the property’s surrounding beauty, this gorgeous craftsman home is set on approximately five private, tree-filled acres.
From the driveway, make your way to the large, covered porch, the perfect spot to greet guests or sit and relax while taking in the home’s wooded landscape. As you enter through the front door, you are greeted by a two-story foyer and gleaming hardwood floors. Beyond the foyer is the cozy, fireside living room. Curl up by the fire with a good book or watch your favorite tv show from this comfortable space. The open-concept layout provides a seamless connection between the living room and the oversized eat-in kitchen and has direct access to the home’s expansive screened porch.
The open kitchen makes cooking a breeze with plenty of cabinet and countertop space. A breakfast bar offers counter seating and the sunny breakfast area is perfect for casual meals. Adjacent to the kitchen is flexible space that can be used for additional dining space, a home office, a game room and more. With views of the creek and access to the screened porch, this space provides a number of possibilities. The incredible screened porch will be your favorite spot to relax and unwind while enjoying the great outdoors. Become one with nature without leaving the house! Throw open the doors when the weather is nice and extend your living space outside. It is terrific for entertaining, with room for lounge seating, grilling and dining.
The primary bedroom is conveniently located on the main level and comes with a walk-in closet, en suite bathroom and access to the screened porch. Light and bright, it is a wonderful retreat to rest and recharge after a day of outdoor activities and adventure. Head upstairs to find two additional oversized bedrooms and a spacious bathroom, making it ideal for guests. On the lower level, there are another two bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchenette and a cozy living room. Each room on the lower level has double doors that take you to another screened deck.
Outside, make your way down to the waterfront patio to enjoy the fire pit. Grab a chair and take in the symphony of rushing water from Fightingtown Creek, the chirping birds and a crackling fire. If that isn’t enough to distract you from the stresses of daily life, improve your short game on the putting green or play a game of croquet on the outdoor court.
This wonderful waterfront property also offers an additional guest suite above the detached garage. This charming space has its own outdoor entrance and features a wood-paneled ceiling, wood floors and plenty of room to spread out.
Whether you are looking to make a move to the mountains, are in search of an investment property or want a vacation home, this creek-front stunner is ready for you to make your own. Ask the agent about possible concessions for remodeling the kitchen and primary bathroom, and if you want to just move right in, the furniture can even be made available via a separate bill of sale.
