590 Old Shyers Ford Road

Some properties offer a beautiful home. Others offer beautiful land. This is the rare opportunity to have both. Tucked away down an old country road, this 2025-built home rests on 43.66 private acres, where a wide, winding creek meanders through much of the property. The road gets quieter as you make your way home, and the world feels remarkably far away. Yet Ellijay and Jasper are each approximately 20 minutes from your door-a rare balance of seclusion and convenience. Inside, the home was designed to embrace its setting. A dramatic wall of windows rises into the vaulted ceiling, framing the wooded landscape and filling the main living space with natural light. Exposed timber details, a floor-to-ceiling stone surround and wood-burning stove add warmth and character, while engineered hardwood floors and an open layout connect the kitchen, living space and outdoors. Four bedrooms and three baths include three bedrooms on the main level, while downstairs, a fourth bedroom and second living area offer a private retreat for family and guests. But the story extends far beyond the walls. Step onto the covered back deck and listen to the quiet. Cleared land surrounds the home before giving way to woods, where the creek winds through the acreage, reaching approximately six feet across in places. Picture horses grazing near the house, trails beneath the trees and afternoons along the creek-or simply leave it as it is and enjoy the rare luxury of having this much space to yourself. The front porch invites slow mornings; the covered back deck, quiet evenings. In between are acres to wander, a creek to follow and room to create a life that doesn't have to fit within the boundaries of a neighborhood. No subdivision. No crowded mountain development. Just a nearly new home, flowing water, remarkable privacy and the freedom that comes with owning your own piece of the mountains. It feels wonderfully removed from everything. The remarkable part is, that it isn't.
