Double Knob
Homes for Sale in Ellijay, GA

Double Knob is a mountain-area pocket near Ellijay in Gilmer County where the property itself — its land, setting, and condition — does the work, since there are no shared community amenities to standardize what a home is worth.

Georgia MLS sales records identify 8 homes in Double Knob that have changed hands since 2023, built between 1987 and 2020 (median 2000), with a median living area of about 1,820 sq ft and a typical 3-bedroom, 2-bath layout; 100% are single-family homes. Source: Georgia MLS closed-sale history compiled by Momentum Research; counts reflect homes with a recorded MLS sale, not every home in the community. Georgia has no statewide parcel roll comparable to Florida’s DOR file, so ownership and homestead shares are not shown.

Pre-construction details are compiled from public records, builder announcements and builder listings, and are subject to change without notice; figures are deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Momentum Research figures are our own analysis. This page describes homes, pricing and community attributes, not residents.

Without an amenity package to anchor pricing, the differences between homes here are the whole story. Lot size, terrain, road access, and the state of the house drive what a property commands, and two listings that look similar on paper can be far apart in practice. Expect a wide spread rather than a tight band, and plan to compare carefully.

This is north Georgia mountain country near Ellijay, so setting matters as much as square footage. If a home offers privacy, usable land, or a favorable position, that shows up in the price. The flip side is that condition and access issues aren't masked by community perks — they land squarely on the property's value.

A market with no standardized amenities and property-by-property pricing rewards local, listing-level judgment. We work the Georgia MLS across north Georgia and will walk you through what a specific Double Knob property is really worth — access, terrain, condition, and comparables — instead of leaning on a neighborhood narrative that doesn't apply here.

Confirm the current HOA dues, exactly what they cover, and any CDD bond or special assessment for a specific address before you offer.
