Once In A Lifetime Private Island Estate On Lake Burton

Discover the pinnacle of lakeside luxury with this extraordinary 6,186 sq ft mountain lodge,
perched on its own private island in the heart of Lake Burton’s coveted big basin. Offering 360-degree lake and mountain views, total privacy, and Yellowstone-inspired rustic elegance, this
one-of-a-kind estate redefines waterfront living. Crafted from reclaimed timbers sourced from
Southern cotton mills, the residence exudes old-world craftsmanship and frontier charm. Hand-hewn oak siding with classic chinking, dry stack Tennessee fieldstone, rough-sawn wide plank
oak floors, and steel structural supports anchor the home with strength and character. An
elegant entry foyer welcomes you from two directions, showcasing east and west views through
an open riser staircase with reclaimed treads and flagstone flooring. The soaring great room
features lake views from two walls, a dramatic cupola, flanking fireplace posts reclaimed from
Zachary Taylor Scott’s historic home, and a moose antler chandelier complete with a buckshot
hole. The chef’s kitchen blends style and substance with black soapstone countertops, custom
barnwood cabinetry, Viking 6-burner range, dual Bosch dishwashers, refrigerator drawers,
custom soapstone sinks and two pantries. The private owner’s suite features three walls of lake
views, a barnwood clad vaulted ceiling and stone fireplace. Each guest bedroom offers unique
views and details. The main floor provides two guest bedrooms, each with chinked log walls and a
private bath. Upstairs, a clever bunk room offers access from two separate hallways with a full
bath on each end. A large hidden pocket door opens to separate the space into two separate
bunkrooms when desired. A ”library” with a vaulted ceiling and lake views is currently styled as
another guest bedroom upstairs. The terrace level offers a spacious yet cozy media room with a
wall of bunk beds against the back wall, a kitchenette with a full fridge/freezer combo, range,
sink and dishwasher and laundry room with sink. The gym was designed to mirror the upstairs
bunk room, featuring full bathrooms on each end. This space could easily be converted into two separate guest bedrooms with the addition of a wall. Outdoors, expansive flagstone patios
wrap the home offering views from all directions. Meandering trails of recycled tire wrap the
Island, leading to the east wharf and swim dock, putting green, and west side 2-story, 2-stall
covered boathouse overlooking one of the most epic sunset views on Lake Burton. Lake Burton is a pristine 2775 acre mountain lake situated in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. It is located an hour and a half from Atlanta, GA, Asheville, NC and Greenville, SC. For those flying private, there are two available airports: Toccoa-Stephens County Airport-5000 ft runway with state-of-the-art lighting system, and rental cars available. Heaven’s Landing is a private fly-in community, 5200 ft paved concrete runway with FAS certified GPS approach and pilot-controlled lighting, 15 minutes from Lake Burton.
