Home Details for 557 Walnut Grove Lane

Nestled on 3 acres in the rolling hills of Rabun County, this well-maintained home overlooks the dramatic rise of Glassy Mountain, offering unobstructed long-range views that stretch across the Blue Ridge landscape. From the deck, watch sunrises light up the peaks or evenings settle over the valley-ideal for those quiet mornings with coffee or lively gatherings under the stars. Step inside to warm wood finishes on floors, walls, and ceilings that bring the surrounding forests right into the living spaces. The open layout flows from a spacious great room with a stone fireplace to a kitchen equipped for family meals, plus three bedrooms and two baths that sleep up to eight comfortably. Upstairs, a loft area doubles as a play space or extra sleeping nook, while the lower level opens to a covered patio perfect for grilling. Outside, the low-maintenance exterior-think hardy siding and native landscaping-lets you spend more time enjoying the land than tending it. Explore your own wooded trails, spot deer at dawn, or fire up the fire pit for storytelling sessions. It's the kind of setup that turns weekends into full escapes, with room for kids to roam or adults to unwind. Location puts adventure at your doorstep. Just minutes from Lake Burton's 2,800 acres of clear blue-green water, launch a kayak for a paddle, cast a line for trout (the lake holds Georgia records for spotted bass and yellow perch), or rent a pontoon to tube and ski along 62 miles of shoreline. Rabun County's three state parks-Black Rock Mountain, Moccasin Creek, and Tallulah Gorge-wait nearby for hikes to waterfalls like Minnehaha Falls or climbs to Rabun Bald's 4,696-foot summit, where panoramic vistas rival your own backyard view. In Tiger, catch a double feature at the retro drive-in theater, sample wines at Tiger Mountain Vineyards, or browse the farmers market for fresh mountain produce. Clayton's downtown, a quick 15-minute drive, delivers easy shopping at boutiques and galleries, plus over 40 spots for meals-from farm-to-table Southern fare at The Dillard House to casual bites by the Tallulah River. Waterfall Club's golf courses and spa are right around the corner for a polished day out, and the Chattooga River beckons for guided rafting floats through wild rapids. This spot captures the draw of a North Georgia vacation home: close enough for Atlanta getaways (under two hours), yet worlds away in a county laced with 38 waterfalls, blooming rhododendrons in summer, and fiery fall foliage. It's where lake days blend with mountain hikes, and that tremendous Glassy Mountain view becomes your daily backdrop. Claim your slice of Rabun County's endless outdoors.
