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.)

The Last Opportunity in Governors Cove Overlook 3.03 Acres | Last Two Remaining Lots | Southwest Mountain & Sunset Views | Borders U.S. National Forest Here is an increasingly rare opportunity to enjoy spectacular North Georgia mountain views without having to drive up a mountain to get home. Located near Lake Burton in Governors Cove Overlook, an intimate mountain community of just 12 existing homes, these two adjoining lots represent the last remaining building opportunity in the community. Together they offer 3.03 acres of gently sloping mountain property, beautiful layered mountain views to the southwest, spectacular evening sunsets, and a setting that feels wonderfully private while remaining remarkably convenient. The property directly adjoins U.S. Forest Service land, providing an extraordinary natural extension of the setting with access to thousands of acres of National Forest for hiking, hunting and exploring. Just as important, the protected federal land creates a beautiful, undeveloped backdrop and an exceptional sense of privacy. And much of the work normally associated with purchasing raw mountain land has already been done. The property has been surveyed, soil testing and perc testing have been completed, and the lots are ready for a buyer to select a house plan and begin moving toward construction. For anyone who has considered building in the mountains, having this important preliminary work already completed removes much of the uncertainty and provides a significant head start. Governors Cove Overlook features paved private roads, underground utilities and shared wells. Access is exceptionally convenient. The property is only about one-half mile from Highway 197, reached first by paved county road and then by paved private community road. There are no long, steep mountain roads to navigate every time you come and go-an important distinction for a property offering views of this caliber. The location is equally impressive. The property is approximately five minutes from the amenities of The Waterfall Club and only about ten minutes from public Lake Burton boat access at either Moccasin Creek State Park or LaPrade's Marina. Spend the morning boating on Lake Burton, the afternoon hiking or exploring the National Forest, and return home in time to watch the sun disappear behind layers of Blue Ridge mountains. Downtown Clayton, with its excellent restaurants, shopping and galleries, is approximately 15 minutes away. Hiawassee and Clarkesville are about 25 minutes away, Unicoi State Park approximately 20 minutes, and the mountain town of Helen approximately 30 minutes away. It is an exceptional location for enjoying everything the Northeast Georgia mountains have to offer without sacrificing convenient, easy access. The two-lot configuration provides additional flexibility. Keep the entire 3.03 acres together for a private mountain estate with additional breathing room, or explore the possibilities afforded by two separately platted adjoining lots, subject to community requirements and applicable approvals. With only 12 homes in Governors Cove Overlook and no other lots remaining, opportunities to build here simply don't come along often. Add the gentle terrain, paved access, underground utilities, shared wells, completed survey and soil work, National Forest boundary and access, beautiful southwest mountain and sunset views, and remarkable proximity to Lake Burton, and this property offers something increasingly difficult to find in Northeast Georgia: The mountain lifestyle without the difficult mountain access. The last two lots. More than three acres. One remarkable opportunity. Bring your house plans-and start imagining the sunsets.
