About This Home

As of September 2020

Located in a serene private gated lake community on the Atlanta side of the Highlands Plateau, this 3 BR/2BA authentic log cabin with metal roof checks most all of the boxes of what people are looking for in a mountain home. The log home at an elevation of 3767' guarantees you cool spring-like summer days and many feel good fireplace evenings year-round. A large covered front porch and an even larger back deck provides great outdoor living space day and night, rain or shine.. An easy walk through the neighborhood takes you in minutes to the centerpiece of the community, beautiful Lake Osage, a 17 acre lake just right for brisk morning kayaking across the water. The lake pavilion serves as the social center of community picnics and summer evening socializing. The cozy open floor plan log cabin is light and bright with plenty of space for company. The attached spacious one car garage is the envy of the neighborhood, where garages are a rare find., While the view is wooded during the summer months, once the leaves drop beautiful Rabun Bald,the second highest Ga mountaintop, uncovers itself in majestic mountain beauty. The community is made up of both part time and full time residents, and is considered a very friendly community of people who love the mountains. Rocky Knob is a mere 8 miles from Main St. Highland, and 15 miles from the Walmart in Clayton. Just four miles down the road is Sky Valley County Club offering great mountain golf and wonderful clubhouse membership privileges including a full spectrum of social activities and lunch, dinner and bar open most of the week in season. The club also offers a pool, fitness room, tennis, pickelball, croquet as well as great friendships. The area is a hiker's paradise with the neighboring Nantahala National Forest and easy access to the famous Bartram Trail, leading to Rabun Bald, the second highest mountain in GA and many other awesome trails.C
