hen the current owner of the sprawling ranch style “cabin” on Seed Lake first saw the property in 2003, it was love at first sight. “The character grabbed me,” she confesses. A visitor who saw the 7.94± acres at the same time cited the overwhelming love he felt immediately. Seventy-five years have passed since a small cabin with no bathroom at 5100 Crow Creek Road in Lakemont came to be. Over the years, it’s grown in size to 1,776 square feet. Modernization has happened, but without sacrificing any of the integrity of that original little lake house. What’s more, the “lake lifestyle” those first owners enjoyed has grown as well. Whoever purchases this home will inherit a laid-back legacy that’s automatically conferred along with the deed.

The master suite in this one-of-a-kind home truly is sweet. It has enough square footage to make a king size bed look small, a spacious en suite bath, master closet space enough you’ll have to buy more clothes, a linen closet, and a true seating area with built-in bookshelves. Then it gets even better. There’s direct access to the outdoors, to some of the most pristine, breathtaking, four-seasonal Rabun County landscape to be found. So what about that landscape? Are you a walker? You’ll be in heaven. Is curling up with a good book on the huge covered back porch or deck more your speed? Knock your socks off! Or do you need a place to keep and ride your horse? Between the pastures, the lake, and the stocked fishing pond, you’ll find plenty of ways to enjoy your personal kingdom.
