Riverview Lane

The Property of Your Dreams

By John Shivers

Picture it: Chillin’ on your own screened porch, your rocking chair moving as slowly as the lifestyle you’re enjoying. As you savor the north Rabun breezes that waft about, increasing your comfort, your eyes gaze across bottom lands of green pasture. In the distance, beyond the row of trees, the waters of the Little Tennessee River lend yet another bit of pleasure, as do the mountain ranges in the distance.

It doesn’t get much better than this, when you have a home in the mountains. If you are looking for a large home, acreage, river frontage, and mountain views, look no further than 101 Riverview Lane in Dillard.

Rabun County is especially blessed with many fantastic properties, but this four bedroom home in the northern end of the county is a rare offering indeed. Tucked away mere minutes from downtown Dillard, the three-level traditional Cape Cod style home offers gracious and comfortable living now and down the road. The exterior is clad in low maintenance vinyl, and the metal roof makes for no worries living. Above all is the 8.38± acres surrounding this 3,000± square foot home that makes this mini-farm, where the previous owner raised his horses, even more of a fantastic find.

This beautiful property boasts over 500 feet of water frontage on the river, adjacent to more than seven acres of pasture, with a barn with eight horse stalls, and a large covered storage shed. Mature trees surround the home, providing both beauty and comfortable shade.

Given the layout of the house, it’s ideally suited for a large family, or for empty-nesters who need additional sleeping space on an occasional basis. The main level, which includes a spacious two-car garage with direct access into the house, offers everything a couple might need on a daily basis. Aside from a gracious sized living room with rock faced gas log fireplace, the spacious kitchen with generous work and cabinet space includes a full complement of appliances. A breakfast bar and the adjacent dining space make serving meals for two or more a piece of cake.

A master bedroom with en suite bath and large walk-in closet along with a second bedroom, a half bath and laundry room complete the ground level. A front screened porch and a large tree-shaded deck out back expand the livability footprint of this home. Upstairs, two oversize bedrooms with window seats and generous closet and storage space and a full bath add sleeping space that can be utilized “as needed,” and forgotten until it’s needed again.

Much of the main level features hardwood floors, while the bedrooms and the lower level have carpet. A large portion of the daylight lower level with its own exterior entrance is finished, and serves as a den and recreation area. Still more livable square footage is there, just waiting for someone to finish it out.

This home is just over twenty years old and has been well maintained. It is part of an estate and as such, there is no Seller Disclosure and the property is being sold “AS IS,” although there is a transferrable home warranty. As an added plus, there’s RV/ boat parking space, and a two-bedroom septic system is already installed on the property, should the owner down the road wish to add a second home.

There are so many different components, both inside and out, that make this home, MLS #10184158, one that you simply must see if you’re dreaming of a mountain home.
