About This Home

As of June 2025

Nestled in the picturesque Persimmon Valley, just above Lake Burton, this elegant timber frame home offers a harmonious blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. The wraparound porch invites you to relax and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the surrounding forest. Did I mention the rear of the home borders National Forest land?! Listen to the mountain stream trickling close by and enjoy the views of trees, and winter views of Wolf Peak Mountain. Step inside and prepare to be wowed by the stunning two story views on three sides of the great room of the surrounding forest and the exceptional craftsmanship of the beautiful local pine timber frame highlighting the home! The newly refinished hickory hardwood floors gleam and beckon you to step inside to check out all this beautiful home has to offer. It has every amenities you need to feel pampered and comfortable while also letting you get back to nature. The custom built bookshelves are ready for all your games, books, puzzles and knickknacks while the gracious granite fireplace is just begging for a roaring fire to warm your toes. The dining area has plenty of room for festive gatherings and is also comfortable for just a quiet dinner for two. Step over to the kitchen which offers abundant storage, more custom shelving and is a chef's delight. The roomy primary bedroom is conveniently located on the main level and boasts a cosy gas fireplace for chilly nights, spacious walk-in closet, and steps out to the side deck for late night star gazing. Upstairs are two sizable rooms complete with gorgeous views and ample closet space. This picturesque property is an ideal retreat and is also perfect as a primary residence located on a private road with an active and helpful HOA, plus excellent internet and cell reception. You can't beat the location situated within 20 minutes to 3 state parks, 10 minutes to Lake Burton, 15 minutes from the Appalachian Trail, and right in between the Coleman and Tallulah River Roads-the best fly fishing in Georgia and 20 minutes from the shops and restaurants of Clayton. Don't miss the opportunity to own this one of a kind property!
