This Rabun County Georgia home is on a private mountain farm/retreat with mountain views and bordering the Chattooga National Wild and Scenic River. Property is surrounded by 867,000 acres of United States Forest Service land encompassing Georgia's Chattahoochee National Forest and adjacent to North Carolina's Nantahala National Forest and South Carolina's Sumpter N.F. Yet you'll live only 12 miles from the destination resort community of Highlands, NC and 12 miles from Clayton's popular farm-to -table foodie scene. The area is a sought-after weekend and vacation destination as well as second home community and renowned for its flyfishing, whitewater rafting, Appalachian Trail hiking, scores of waterfalls and lake recreation on Rabun and Burton. Mtn Rest and Walhalla, SC are nearby towns also offering groceries, restaurants, entertainment and tourist destinations. Walhalla is 15 miles from the house while Mtn Rest is only 8 miles, and has gas and groceries. The house is on a paved county road yet set back far enough to afford privacy. Although there are two other dwellings on the property neither is visible from the house, and the nearest neighbors otherwise are one half mile to a mile away.
The house has been undergoing some upgrades including new paint and flooring in several rooms but preserving the beautiful hardwood flooring in the great room, plus new laundry and kitchen appliances. We're on schedule to allow move in by early January, but there may be opportunity for earlier occupancy; or later move in if that is necessary for your situation.
Landlord lives on the property and is available to show the House by appointment. Please complete Zillow Rental Application before requesting tour.
