3914 Brandon Mill RD, Lakemont, GA

Shake off the daily rush the moment you settle into this extraordinary turnkey furnished home on Lake Rabun, where dramatic views stretch across the open water of the Big Basin. Statement stone fireplaces warm the interiors, surrounded by rich rustic elegance and an open flow that brings everyone together. A sophisticated kitchen serves as the heart of the main level, making it easy to create and serve while conversations carry from the living spaces out to expansive decks and the screened porch beyond. This is where mornings might begin with coffee on the porch as sunlight dances on the water, afternoons fill with swims, boat rides, or games by the boathouse, and nights gather everyone around the fireplaces or under the stars. The Adirondack inspired architecture, with its warm wood finishes and open main level spaces, creates an environment that feels lived in and lasting, an heirloom property built for generations of memories on one of North Georgia's most protected and treasured lakes. This home is thoughtfully built so families can spread out comfortably. On the main level, the primary suite provides a private luxurious space, with an office close by for quiet moments. Upstairs, three bedrooms and a loft offer space for family or guests to claim as their own. Down on the terrace level, a family room centered around the pool table and bar invites relaxed evenings, joined by two more bedrooms, one a comfortable guest suite that echoes the primary, and a steam shower and sauna ready after long days on the water. Outside, life centers on the lake. A newly rebuilt deep water boathouse with stone and barn door accents includes a covered sun deck, easy boat access, and spots perfect for jumping in or sitting with your feet dangling over the edge. A swim dock and beach make splashing and play simple for children, while the fire pit overlooks the broad Big Basin, drawing everyone around its glow as evenings settle in. Well appointed landscaping and landscape lighting soften the surroundings after dark, and a whole house backup generator keeps things comfortable through any weather. When the mood shifts, the area keeps daily life convenient without pulling you far from the water. In nearby Lakemont, the historic village holds spots like The Open Door at Alley's for fresh sandwiches and a casual atmosphere. Take the boat over to nearby options like Max's Lakeside for lakeside pizza or the Lake Rabun Hotel for craft cocktails and fine dining. A short drive brings you to Clayton's lively Main Street lined with boutique shops, art galleries, bookstores, and a mix of farm to table restaurants and cafes. Whether you want a quick errand, unique finds, or a meal that highlights the region's fresh ingredients, everything stays close enough that the lake remains the true heart of your days. This waterfront home delivers a refined lakeside lifestyle where family and friends can connect deeply, spread out comfortably, and return season after season.
