This spectacular lakeside estate rests on the shores of one of North Georgia's most exclusive deep water mountain lakes. Perched on a gently sloped point lot with 300' of shoreline and expansive westerly views, this classic mountain home on Lake Burton offers 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, plus a bunk room. The great room features a masonry stone fireplace, heart pine flooring, vaulted ceilings with Douglas fir timber frame construction, and French doors that reveal sweeping lake and mountain views through the screened porch. An open floor plan connects the kitchen-equipped with a Thermador 5-burner gas cooktop, KitchenAid wall oven, warming drawer, ice maker, 36" fridge and refrigerator drawers-to the main living area and dining area. The lakeside screened porch showcases mountain sunset views while providing easy flow for entertaining with a generous lounge area and adjacent dining area with built-in grill and fireplace. The private main-level owner's suite provides lake views, a lakeside deck, and a well-appointed bath with separate vanities, travertine tiled shower, jetted tub, and walk-in closet. A guest suite with lake views and en-suite bath, powder room, laundry room, and two-car garage complete the main floor. The terrace level offers a lodge-style family room with 10'+ ceilings, a stone fireplace, billiards area, and a custom bar featuring a heart pine countertop, sink, under-counter fridge, ice maker, dishwasher, and built-in microwave. Two guest bedrooms, each with lake views and private baths, flank the terrace level living space-one with an adjoining bunk room, the other with access to a covered lakeside patio. Outside, a covered stone patio includes a dining area, built-in smoker, and power burner with a pathway leading to a lakeside firepit in one direction and a two-stall, two-story boathouse and swim dock in the other. The boathouse sits on deep water and enjoys panoramic views of Billy Goat Island and a front row seat to the Lake Burton 4th of July fireworks. Two jet ski lifts are mounted on the side of the boat house and metal security doors protect boats from the weather year round. This special point lot is gently sloped with minimal steps from the terrace level to the boathouse and enjoys the advantage of fully paved access by road. This home was built by Chris Clay in 2006 and has been meticulously maintained.
