About This Home

As of May 2022

This home sits right above Tallulah River with a beautiful view of the river and the mountains. It is within 1/2 mile of a Lake Burton Boat Launch, and offers great fishing in the river, and hiking, biking trails right at your fingertips. The home was built in 2005, and features 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a rock fireplace,hardwood floors, a large front porch and a small back porch. It has lots of kitchen cabinets, a dining living room combo and is very private. You can barely see one other private home just to the left of this house, but other than that it is secluded. This home is perfect for a 2nd mountain home, but would also make a spectacular VRBO.
