At GrandView, it's all about the view, and "Grand" doesn't begin to describe the breathtaking scene awaiting you. Even long-time locals are fascinated with what they call "one of the best views in the area." This home is nestled in tranquil privacy, yet offers the convenience of a 9-minute trip down the mountain right into the heart of historic downtown Clayton, with its quaint shops and restaurants.
Come awaken to a glorious sunrise right outside your bedroom glass doors. Take your coffee to the wooden rocking chairs on the deck, and overlook forty miles of layered mountains and a lovely landscaped golf and country club in the valley. Built to showcase the spectacular views, most rooms open to mountain vistas. Multiple windows, floor to ceiling, highlight the vaulted greatroom which feeds onto an expansive end-to-end deck. Tastefully furnished in comfortable luxury, this spacious two-level boasts all the amenities of a first-class vacation home.
The master bedroom welcomes you with a comfortable king bed and a lovely sitting area. Adjoining the master is a large private bath with an inviting garden tub and individual shower. The master bath also feaures a separate water closet, dressing vanity and walk-in clothes closet. In a split plan, queen and twin bedrooms are located on the opposite side. Cooks will delight in the superior fully-equipped kitchen, accompanied by a long bar with high-backed barstools. The kitchen opens into an attractive dining room. A full bath with shower/tub and a separate laundry room complete the main level.
Downstairs affords its own fabulous views from a brick-pavered lanai, with porch swing and wicker seating. The lower level features another king bedroom with a comfortable sitting area. A queen bedroom and two sofa beds finalize sleeping arrangements below. Enjoy a lively game of pool in the family/rec room. Or choose from a vast selection of games, DVD's/videos. Attached to the family/rec room is a morning kitchen with full-size frig, microwave, coffee maker, etc. For privacy, try the reading alcove, an ideal spot for a good book or a peaceful nap. A full bath with shower/tub completes the lower level.
Clayton is easily accessible from the Atlanta metro area (about 1.5 hrs) and is centrally located for daytrips to Asheville, Helen, Hiawasee, Highlands NC, Cherokee NC, the Chatooga River, and the Appalachian Trail. GrandView itself is only minutes from Black Rock Mountain State Park, Tallulah Gorge and Falls, Lakes Burton Rabun, & Seed, and the Tiger Winery. With so much to offer in the area, plan a fun-filled day of activities from high adventure to slow-paced (see activities listed below).
