Opportunity in Sky Valley! Offered at $199,900 and sold as-is, this furnished 3-bedroom, 3-bath end-unit chalet offers a buyer the chance to restore a distinctive mountain retreat to its former charm-or reimagine it with a style of their own. The chalet experienced an interior water loss in March 2026. Water-damaged materials, including portions of the lower-level ceiling, insulation and carpeting, have been removed, and professional drying and mitigation were completed. The resulting interior repairs have not been completed, allowing the next owner to choose finishes and make the space their own. The property has also been evaluated for foundation settlement, and a stabilization proposal is available. Documentation and estimates relating to the water-damage repairs are also available. The chalet's many original attractions remain: a private end-unit location, expansive wrap-around deck, soaring ceilings, exposed wood beams, dramatic wood-burning stone fireplace, large windows, and an open great room filled with natural light. The adjacent dining area connects to a kitchen with generous built-in storage, and a full bath completes the main level. Upstairs, a versatile loft serves as a third bedroom with its own private bath. The lower level includes the spacious primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and sliding doors to the outdoors, a second bedroom, shared full bath, and convenient laundry area. A newer central heating and cooling system with smart thermostat provides year-round comfort. The property is offered furnished except for personal items and has a history as a successful Airbnb, offering possibilities as a vacation retreat, full-time mountain home, or future rental property. At approximately 3,500 feet, Sky Valley offers refreshing summer temperatures, beautiful mountain surroundings, and abundant outdoor recreation. A nearby park offers a creek, playground, campfire pits, and pickleball courts. With paid membership, Sky Valley Country Club offers golf, croquet, pickleball, and clubhouse dining; club membership is not required. For the buyer who sees the potential, this is an opportunity to acquire a spacious Sky Valley chalet at a price that reflects its present condition and complete the renovation to their own vision. There are photos showing before and after the damage.

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.)
