About this home
The Ripple, where the rhythm of the Etowah River becomes part of everyday life.
Tucked away on 2.31 private acres along the Etowah River, this custom built 4 bedroom, 3 bath home offers a rare combination of natural beauty, privacy, and effortless access to the river. Affectionately known as “The Ripple,” the property announces itself the moment you arrive, with the soothing sound of rushing water flowing just beyond the home.
Designed to embrace its remarkable setting, the residence features dramatic European windows and doors that bring the surrounding landscape indoors. The spacious Great Room is anchored by a natural stone fireplace and soaring windows overlooking the river, while a cozy reading nook with built in bookcases create the perfect place to settle in and enjoy the scenery. Recently refurbished hand finished oak hardwood floors extend throughout the main level, adding warmth and character to the home's inviting interior.
The main level primary suite is a peaceful retreat with beautiful river views. Its ensuite bath features a corner jetted tub positioned beside windows overlooking the Etowah, creating a uniquely relaxing setting. The generously sized kitchen features solid surface countertops and an open layout flowing naturally into the dining area and Great Room, making it equally suited for everyday living and entertaining.
Outdoor living is where this property truly distinguishes itself. Screened and open decks overlook the river, while a private covered pavilion sits directly beside the water, offering an exceptional setting for outdoor gatherings, al fresco dining, or simply listening to the river as it flows past. A fire pit beside the river provides another inviting place to gather beneath the stars. With gentle, direct access into the Etowah, there's ample room outside for canoes, kayaks, and other river recreation.
The lower level adds tremendous flexibility with two bedrooms, a full bath, and a comfortable living area with walk out access to the backyard and river. A dedicated mudroom and laundry room with direct exterior access provides a practical transition point after a day on the water, keeping wet gear and muddy shoes out of the main living spaces.
An attached two car garage, paved driveway, abundant parking, and no HOA add everyday convenience to this secluded riverfront retreat. Located approximately 17 miles from the headwaters of the Etowah River, the property offers an authentic North Georgia river lifestyle while remaining just minutes from downtown Dahlonega, with its distinctive shops, restaurants, and historic charm. Some of North Georgia's finest wineries and vineyards are also nearby, with convenient access to GA 400.
Whether envisioned as a private full time residence, weekend escape, or potentially a short term rental opportunity, The Ripple is a truly special Etowah River property where the beauty and sound of flowing water become part of the experience of home....
