Sanctuary Awaits on “Looker’s Beach” By John Shivers
T
he cathedral-inspired home rests atop one of the finger-like peninsulas on Lake Rabun, its majestic presence soaring into the trees that cradle and caress. At first glance, the experience is almost Zen in nature, as you glimpse the many elements that compose this polished rustic palace that far surpasses the term “house.” Dark and honey-hued woods, vaulted heights and beams, mountain stone, loads of glass, clearstory windows, custom lighting, and massive, custom black wrought iron accents all define the luxurious laid-back existence at 321 Stillhouse in Lakemont. This could be your own private sanctuary, ‘cause you ain’t gonna be able to stay back in town after you’ve seen this home. And it only gets better, the more you see, the more “Wow” enticing top-drawer layout and architectural aspects you encounter. This home is a craftsman’s merger of rustic and contemporary that displays the best of both architectural styles to maximum advantage. This three bedroom, three bathroom home on 1.2± acres enjoys 455± feet of Lake Rabun frontage, from its promontory on the well-known “Looker’s Beach.” Few homes enjoy this distinction, and with 3,897± square feet all designed for grand living, this impressive lodge-like residence marries lake living with mountain living. It’s everyday life
