Yes — The Cartecay, The Lost Mine and The Andrews. You can walk through each one in our home gallery, floor plan and photos included.
How long does it take to build a custom home in Ellijay?
Most Ellijay builds run 10–14 months from groundbreaking, depending on size and finishes. Permits go through Gilmer County, and we handle that submission and the inspections ourselves so the schedule we give you is the schedule we hold to.
Do you build on my lot, or do you have lots in Ellijay?
Both. We build on land you already own, and we can help you find and evaluate one anywhere in Gilmer County — Ellijay, Cherry Log. The site evaluation is free, and we'd rather tell you a lot is a bad buy before you own it.
What does a custom home in Ellijay cost?
Send us a plan or a sketch and we'll give you a ballpark — typically within about ±5%. What moves the number most in Ellijay is the lot itself: grading, driveway length, whether you're on well and septic or city utilities. We walk you through all of it before you commit.

Ellijay and Gilmer County each have codes, zoning and setback rules, and communities like Falling Waters, High River, The Vineyard at Yukon and Tranquility at Carters Lake add architectural review on top. We've been through these approvals for 20+ years and handle them for you.
Which Ellijay neighborhoods do you build in?
We build in Falling Waters, High River, The Vineyard at Yukon and Tranquility at Carters Lake, and throughout Ellijay — established streets, newer developments, and acreage outside town. We also build nearby in Cherry Log, so if your search widens we can follow it.
