Barefoot afternoons, sun-dappled porches, and the gentle rhythm of life on the lake . . . THIS is the Lake Burton home you have been dreaming of! Nestled along the emerald waters of Perrin Cove, this irresistibly charming, recently renovated retreat captures the nostalgia of a classic lake house with beautifully refreshed interiors and a wonderfully welcoming spirit. This delightful home is filled with fantastic surprises: 300 feet of private lakefront, 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, abundant room for hosting family and friends, and move-in ready from day one. Inside, soothing white-painted wood ceilings, warm timber accents, and expansive windows create an airy, light-filled backdrop with endless water views. This original home practically sits on the water's edge . . . a rare gem on Lake Burton. Beautifully layered textures and cheerful touches of color give the home a collected, comfortable elegance---full of personality. The kitchen is as delightful as it is functional, pairing chic green cabinetry with crisp white countertops, a tiled backsplash, gleaming hardware, and new GE Cafe matte white appliances. The gas stove top features a double electric oven and there is a microwave that doubles as a convection oven. Two nearby armoires add practical storage, while the open connection to the dining and gathering spaces keeps your crew together for meals and celebrations. The primary suite is a private sanctuary, with a vaulted ceiling, exposed wood beams, a spacious walk-in newly renovated closet, and a beautifully appointed bath featuring a large tile shower. The primary suite's most enchanting feature may be the private screened porch overlooking the lake---a dreamy spot for morning coffee, an afternoon nap, or one last quiet moment before bed. Four additional bedrooms and an inviting secondary living space provide room to spread out while preserving the intimate, classic cottage feeling that makes this home so special. Outside, a lovely collection of porches and lakeside gathering spaces makes it nearly impossible to choose a favorite. Enjoy the breeze beneath a wood-lined porch ceiling, gather around the stone patio's fire pit, or follow the steps down to a waterfront that feels like a scene from Dirty Dancing. The two-stall boathouse, complete with a covered lakeside porch, is brimming with classic Burton charm, while the oversized swimming dock invites sunbathing, swimming, and long afternoons with your feet dangling over the water. Framed by mature trees and the picturesque setting of Perrin Cove, this is a place to make memories with family and friends that will last a lifetime. Thoughtful improvements extend beyond the beautiful designer crafted interiors. An HVAC unit was installed in 2022 and AquaGuard sealed the basement crawlspace in 2024. Additional improvements include new carpeting and hardwood floors, a new fireplace, a water softener and purification system, 100 feet of new seawall in 2023, and landscaping enhanced with hydrangeas, azaleas, irrigation, and stone outdoor living areas. Set on a fabulous 1.69-acre lot, the property is less than 20 minutes to Clayton and 10 minutes to Waterfall Club. 232 Perrin Cove is a jewel box of a home that delivers nostalgic Lake Burton soul, refreshed style, and a private waterfront home made for memories to last a lifetime.

A truly rare opportunity along one of Rabun County's most desirable and highly traveled corridors! Encompassing approximately 16.70 acres with frontage on BOTH sides of Highway 76 West, this exceptional property offers outstanding visibility, accessibility, natural beauty, and tremendous future potential---all just a hop, skip, and a jump from Lake Burton. The larger, southern portion of the property features notably gentle topography, creating an unusually versatile blank canvas for a wide range of commercial, hospitality, recreational, retail, service, or investment concepts, subject to zoning approval and applicable development requirements. (The property is currently zoned Agricultural, and the Seller is actively pursuing rezoning to Highway Business, allowing prospective buyers the opportunity to envision a use that takes full advantage of the acreage, highway exposure, and strategic location.) Adding to the property's distinctive character, Acorn Creek runs along the side of the tract and includes a picturesque small waterfall, providing a beautiful natural amenity that could be incorporated into a thoughtfully designed development. The combination of gently rolling land, substantial road frontage, flowing water, and acreage on both sides of Highway 76 West makes this property unlike nearly anything else currently available in the Lake Burton area. Located along the primary route connecting downtown Clayton to Lake Burton, the property benefits from year-round local traffic as well as the seasonal flow of second-home owners, vacationers, outdoor enthusiasts, and visitors traveling to the lake and surrounding mountain destinations. Whether envisioned as a boutique lodging or hospitality concept, destination retail, restaurant, recreational development, commercial campus, or long-term investment, the possibilities are exceptional. Large, developable tracts in close proximity to Lake Burton are increasingly difficult to find---particularly those offering this level of visibility, usable terrain, natural water features, and frontage on both sides of a major highway. 29 Acorn Creek Rd represents a remarkable opportunity to create something truly special in one of Northeast Georgia's most sought-after destinations. (Rezoning is in process and is not yet complete. Buyers should independently verify zoning status, permitted uses, access, utilities, acreage, environmental conditions, and development feasibility with the appropriate governmental authorities.)
