About this home
The Last Opportunity in Governors Cove Overlook 3.03 Acres | Last Two Remaining Lots | Southwest Mountain & Sunset Views | Borders U.S. National Forest Here is an increasingly rare opportunity to enjoy spectacular North Georgia mountain views without having to drive up a mountain to get home. Located near Lake Burton in Governors Cove Overlook, an intimate mountain community of just 12 existing homes, these two adjoining lots represent the last remaining building opportunity in the community. Together they offer 3.03 acres of gently sloping mountain property, beautiful layered mountain views to the southwest, spectacular evening sunsets, and a setting that feels wonderfully private while remaining remarkably convenient. The property directly adjoins U.S. Forest Service land, providing an extraordinary natural extension of the setting with access to thousands of acres of National Forest for hiking, hunting and exploring. Just as important, the protected federal land creates a beautiful, undeveloped backdrop and an exceptional sense of privacy. And much of the work normally associated with purchasing raw mountain land has already been done. The property has been surveyed, soil testing and perc testing have been completed, and the lots are ready for a buyer to select a house plan and begin moving toward construction. For anyone who has considered building in the mountains, having this important preliminary work already completed removes much of the uncertainty and provides a significant head start. Governors Cove Overlook features paved private roads, underground utilities and shared wells. Access is exceptionally convenient. The property is only about one-half mile from Highway 197, reached first by paved county road and then by paved private community road. There are no long, steep mountain roads to navigate every time you come and go-an important distinction for a property offering views of this caliber. The location is equally impressive. The property is approximately five minutes from the amenities of The Waterfall Club and only about ten minutes from public Lake Burton boat access at either Moccasin Creek State Park or LaPrade's Marina. Spend the morning boating on Lake Burton, the afternoon hiking or exploring the National Forest, and return home in time to watch the sun disappear behind layers of Blue Ridge mountains. Downtown Clayton, with its excellent restaurants, shopping and galleries, is approximately 15 minutes away. Hiawassee and Clarkesville are about 25 minutes away, Unicoi State Park approximately 20 minutes, and the mountain town of Helen approximately 30 minutes away. It is an exceptional location for enjoying everything the Northeast Georgia mountains have to offer without sacrificing convenient, easy access. The two-lot configuration provides additional flexibility. Keep the entire 3.03 acres together for a private mountain estate with additional breathing room, or explore the possibilities afforded by two separately platted adjoining lots, subject to community requirements and applicable approvals. With only 12 homes in Governors Cove Overlook and no other lots remaining, opportunities to build here simply don't come along often. Add the gentle terrain, paved access, underground utilities, shared wells, completed survey and soil work, National Forest boundary and access, beautiful southwest mountain and sunset views, and remarkable proximity to Lake Burton, and this property offers something increasingly difficult to find in Northeast Georgia: The mountain lifestyle without the difficult mountain access. The last two lots. More than three acres. One remarkable opportunity. Bring your house plans-and start imagining the sunsets....
