Description

Welcome to your TURNKEY paradise at Lake Burton! This fully furnished home is fully set up - you can pack your bag and move in. The home is nestled on over 3 private wooded acres, conveniently located near La Prades at Lake Burton. This 4-bedroom, 3-bath cabin feels like a treehouse in the treetops, surrounded by lush green foliage in spring and summer and a stunning display of color in the fall. Designed for both personal enjoyment and short-term rental success, the home features vaulted ceilings, a stacked-stone fireplace, and an open-concept living and dining area filled with natural light. The kitchen is fully equipped and flows seamlessly for entertaining larger groups. The main-level primary suite offers a spacious ensuite bath with double vanities, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. Additional bedrooms provide generous space and privacy for guests. The basement has two additional bedrooms, bathroom, wet bar and family room/game room combo. There is an additional "shed" structure on the property that has a full bath, kitchenette, covered deck and mini-split - perfect as a separate office or artist studio. Outdoor living is a highlight with a wonderful outdoor deck offering beautiful views. The patio below features a hot tub, and swing. Ample parking and smart-lock entry enhance convenience. Located between Clayton and Helen, with easy access to boating, hiking, dining, wineries, and year-round outdoor recreation. The home is zoned 'Vacation Cottage' and has a healthy rental history and five-star reviews on rental platforms. The owner is a licensed RE agent in the state of GA.
