A 2-bedroom, 2-bath single family residence in Clayton.

Discover your ultimate mountain escape on a 1-acre lot at this stunning cabin, custom-built in 2022, perched along the serene banks of Dicks Creek. Fee simple and zoned as a Vacation Cottage (VC). This new construction home offers a rare opportunity to live where a premier trout stream flows into Georgia’s most coveted lake, allowing you to launch kayaks, canoes, or paddleboards directly from your backyard into Lake Burton.

Inside, the home reveals a masterfully designed open-concept living space that seamlessly blends rustic charm with modern elegance. Dramatic vaulted wood-planked ceilings and exposed beams create an airy feel, while a dry-stack stone fireplace serves as the warm heart of the great room. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring custom sage-green cabinetry, sleek open shelving, and premium stainless-steel appliances, all surrounding a functional mobile island. Large windows throughout frame lush wooded views, ensuring the beauty of the outdoors is always part of the interior experience.

The living quarters are designed for comfort and versatility, featuring a serene primary suite on the main level and a bright secondary bedroom upstairs. Upstairs, a cozy loft provides a quiet nook perfect for a home office or reading retreat & additional space for additional sleeping areas. For those seeking even more space, the massive unfinished basement is a standout feature, boasting soaring 11-foot ceilings that offer a blank canvas for a future home theater, game room, or additional guest suites.

This property represents an exceptional vacation rental opportunity, perfectly positioned to capture the high demand for luxury mountain-lake retreats. Its rare combination of direct creek access, modern 2022 construction, and designer finishes makes it a premier choice for travelers.
