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.)

Four meticulously maintained pastures encompass more than half of the property, providing abundant space for turnout, training, and riding.

In the opposite direction, the Chattooga River is only a short ATV ride away, creating an unparalleled setting for those drawn to fishing, paddling, hunting, and an active mountain lifestyle. At the heart of the equestrian operation is a thoughtfully designed, recently constructed five-stall barn combining impressive craftsmanship with effortless functionality. Two stalls may be joined to create a spacious mare-and-foal stall, while a climate-controlled feed and tack room, dressing room, full bathroom, hot-and-cold-water wash rack with drainage, generous equipment storage, and hay loft with hay-elevator access ensure every need has been carefully considered. Freshly creosoted fencing, a round pen, and EquiTred drainage further enhance this exceptional private facility, making it equally suitable for serious equestrians, trainers, breeders, or passionate recreational riders.

The beautifully appointed kitchen opens to gracious living and dining spaces designed for both intimate evenings and effortless entertaining. Expansive Nanawalls in the great room and dining room disappear to connect the interiors with a generous screened porch, where the soothing sound of Dick's Creek creates an unforgettable backdrop. The main-level primary retreat enjoys its own private balcony with a Phantom screen, serene views, and the constant rhythm of rushing water below. A separate but equally private 4-bedroom, 3-bath secondary residence provides exceptional flexibility as a caretaker's home, guest residence, multigenerational retreat, or secluded quarters for visiting riders and family. Together, the two homes create the opportunity for a true family compound without sacrificing privacy or independence. Moss Hill Ranch is so much more than an equestrian property: it is a private mountain sanctuary designed for an extraordinary way of life.

Whether envisioned as a premier training facility, elegant recreational retreat, multigenerational estate, or irreplaceable legacy property, Moss Hill Ranch offers a rare combination of natural beauty, superior improvements, exceptional accessibility, and timeless appeal.

Picture this... a sleek modern Craftsman that knows exactly how to make you feel wanted the second you roll up this perfect country road right in the heart of Stekoa Valley. The circular drive curves in like it's been waiting for you, and suddenly you're standing in a big, flat yard that just begs for bare feet and long summer evenings. Cross the bridge over the trout stream and you're already in the good part. Wide frontage means the water's right there gliding past, flashing silver, practically daring you to drop a line. Or skip the rod entirely and claim the campfire ring with its horseshoe pits for those fall nights when the air turns crisp and the only decision left is whether to roast another marshmallow or just lean into the glow with friends who never want to leave. Covered patios and that big screened porch keep the mountain air close, while inside the ceilings soar and the open plan just stretches out like it's inviting you to stay a while longer. The kitchen is pure temptation with gorgeous cabinets, built-in displays, and wine storage that knows how to spoil you, plus a prep-and-gathering island that turns every meal into an event. Main and guest bedrooms hang out on the ground level with those cool concrete floors underfoot, so nobody has to climb stairs after a long day of playing. Upstairs the loft sprawls wide open, giving family and guests room to spread out while the creek winks up at you through the window. Pastoral views and surrounding mountains wrap the whole place like a private backdrop. There's even a detached garage already living its best life as a separate space with lots of natural light from big glass windows, perfect for guests who need a little independence or for whatever creative mischief you're cooking up. Built brand new in 2022 and properly zoned for short term rentals if you want the income, though honestly... you might just keep this next level fishing cabin all to yourself. Central to schools, Clayton, and the Chattooga River, so every adventure in the northeast Georgia mountains is right there when the mood strikes.
