Perched on a large and private 2.63 acre Lake Burton leasehold lot with the potential for beautiful mountain and lake views, the existing 3 bedroom 1.5 bathroom cabin can be renovated and expanded. Or, use the cabin while you plan to build your dream lake home! A gated, meandering, driveway framed by rhododendron and mountain laurel lead up the log cabin. The property has a gentle slope and could sustain a much larger home. Step inside to a no frills cabin with masonry, wood-burning fireplace, hardwood floors, wooden beamed ceilings, a small kitchen, dining room and half bathroom. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a common bathroom. Downstairs, another bedroom and bonus room complete the living area. At the lakefront, you'll find beautiful views overlooking Dick's Creek Cove with over 192' of lake frontage on deep water. There is an existing 2-stall boathouse with open deck above and a floating swim dock. Located approximately 25 minutes from Downtown Clayton, GA; 35 minutes from Downtown Clarkesville; less than 10 minutes from LaPrade's Marina and Moccasin Creek State Park.
