Ellijay, Georgia has built its identity around the “Apple Capital of Georgia” nickname, with orchards climbing the hills of Gilmer County and a growing cluster of local vineyards that have drawn comparisons to a scaled-down Napa Valley. On 1.96 acres in that same apple country, a three-bedroom ranch at 466 Ellington Rd offers a genuinely private setting with established fruit trees, now listed at $300,000.
A Recently Roofed Ranch with Real Bonus Space
Built in 1976, this 1,956-square-foot ranch keeps the primary bedroom on the main level, with wood flooring throughout and a cozy wood-burning fireplace anchoring the living room. The listing calls out a new roof directly — one of the most expensive systems to replace in any home, already handled here. A finished basement adds a genuine bonus room, giving the household extra flexible space beyond the main living areas, and an eat-in kitchen keeps daily life practical.
Fruit Trees and a Fenced, Private Yard
The property backs up its “private setting” tagline with real homestead touches: established fruit trees, a dedicated garden spot, and a fenced yard, all set on a level 1.96-acre lot with wooded views. The frontage includes both road access and a branch (small stream), adding a natural water feature to the property beyond just tree cover. A covered front porch and deck give the home multiple outdoor spaces, and a storage structure rounds out the practical setup.
The Practical Details
The home connects to public water, with sewage handled through a septic tank. Central heating and air conditioning cover year-round comfort. Annual property taxes run just $187, and the home was newly listed on September 10, 2026.
