## Description

### Agent Description
Over an acre Commercial Property, zoned (C-1 this district generally supports retail, office and service related), is positioned along heavily traveled Old Highway 5, a key route connecting downtown Ellijay and moments to the Walmart shopping plaza. This fully updated 3-story, 2,000+SF commercial building delivers outstanding visibility and exceptional scalability. Situated across from an entrance of Coosawattee River Resort—one of Gilmer County's largest residential communities—the property benefits from high-volume daily traffic, with 2 access drives on Old highway 5 and one access to progress road. The main level features striking window frontage and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling fireplace, perfect for a professional showroom or reception. This level also includes an oversized private office and restroom. Upstairs, a bright loft overlooking the main level with 2 separate offices that feature vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. The lower level includes a separate entrance and lockout capability, providing a secondary income stream, complete with a kitchenette and restroom. The property includes a large 3,200+ SF warehouse, ideal for commercial, landscaping, storage, operations, or distribution. Dual circular driveways offer ample parking and accommodate larger vehicles/trailers. With additional acreage, there is ample room to expand. Infrastructure includes county water, natural gas, a 2024 metal roof, and a septic system (installed 2010) sized for future restroom expansion.  Ellijay is a premier North Georgia destination with a robust tourism market driven by local wineries, orchards, and outdoor recreation. With premier highway frontage and a versatile layout, this is a rare opportunity to invest in one of Ellijay's most active commercial corridors.
