Discover a rare Betty's Creek sanctuary where the sound of rushing water welcomes you the moment you arrive. Extensively updated since 2024, this 4BR/3BA cedar shake retreat offers three levels of comfortable living on nearly four private acres, just minutes from Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School. The main level features a newly renovated and expanded kitchen, bright breakfast room, updated baths, and a primary bedroom on the main. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a full bath and an open loft office, perfect for working from home or creative space. The private lower level functions as a complete apartment with its own living room, bedroom, full bath, new kitchen, and storage, accessible from both the interior stairs and a separate exterior entrance-ideal for guests, in-laws, or rental income. Outdoors, enjoy approximately 350 feet of frontage on Betty's Creek, a bold, noisy stream with a fire-pit area right at the water's edge, plus multiple patios and a gentle path down to the creek. A fenced kennel and dog run, new roof, and whole-house generator add peace of mind and ease of living in this mountain retreat. Open the windows and let the sound of the bold, noisy creek fill the home, bringing the outdoors in!
