From the Zillow listing:

 

Rare opportunity to own an unrestricted piece of mountain paradise where you own BOTH sides of fast flowing Little Ellijay creek. This charming circa-1910 cottage is nestled on a remarkably usable, mostly flat parcel featuring a picturesque meadow, mature trees, abundant wildlife, and the soothing sounds of rushing water year-round. A newly refurbished walking bridge leads to the meadow. Deer are frequent visitors and can often be seen crossing the bridge on their way through the property. Multiple outdoor living spaces invite you to relax and enjoy nature, including covered front and rear porches. The meadow offers endless possibilities for gardening, recreation, or a potential RV setup, with its own separate entrance from the state-maintained paved road. Inside, the cottage retains its timeless character with hardwood floors, spacious kitchen, 2BR/2BA. The second bedroom features a Murphy bed and murphy desk that are staying. Additional features include some newer insulated windows, washer and dryer located in the second bath, electric thermostat heaters in the living room and kitchen, a charming old-time workshop, and a separate storage shed.
