About This Home
Darling Cottage on desirable Lake Burton. Just 1.5 - 2 hours North of Athens and Atlanta, its the perfect place for a vacation home. The minute your car starts up the mountain, the cooler mountain air and picturesque views start to unwind the tensions of everyday life. Roll the windows down, crank up the tunes, and feel the stress melt away. And make no mistake, if the car ride starts the relaxation, the arrival at the lake will finish it. Stunning views of the lake and mountains ensue. This house is located on deep water access with views of the sunset over the lake. This open & airy cottage is well appointed, and has spectacular & gorgeous views anytime during the day, every day. This cheerful rustic-contemporary cottage (aptly named "Mountain Sunset") has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths with bright open and airy living spaces and loads of windows for enjoying the natural beauty of Lake Burton. Spend the day on the water and come home to a glass of wine or beer on the covered front porch while you watch the sun go down. This home has a 10 easement to the lake and a pier on the water to tie up the boats, swim, etc. There is no option for a boat house with this property, but nearby Anchorage Marine and LaPrades both have options to store a boat on the water and the Murray Cove boat ramp is nearby. Conveniently located, its only a 20 minute drive to Clayton for grocery shopping, for retail therapy at the many delightful shops, or for dining at the many yummy restaurants. You can also enjoy visiting one of the many local wineries or take any number of amazing hikes. Additionally, this lot is FEE SIMPLE, and this may be one of the best features of all. Only 20% of the lots on the lake are Fee Simple, but this means that the land is not owned by GA Power and therefore not subject to their restrictions for the house and lot. Owners can rent the property out on AirBnb or VRBO (and the current owner has done so) to help offset expenses when not in use. Already zoned as a "Vacation Rental" with Rabun County, the transition should be seamless. Sold furnished.New roof, New HVAC mini-splits throughout, rebuilt deck and treehouse (so cute), new dock/pier, fireplace, shared well. This will become your favorite spot at this slice of heaven- Lake Burton!
