Ever wanted your own island? Now, you can! Harry Norman, REALTORS®, Atlanta and greater Georgia’s first and foremost residential real estate firm, has exclusively listed a once-in-a-lifetime property that effortlessly blends mountain serenity, lakefront adventure, and refined luxury into one unforgettable offering. Homebuyers seeking a unique luxury mountainside escape can now consider Lake Burton’s only private island estate, located at 1 Burton Island in Tiger, GA, listed by agent Julie Barnett.

Nestled in the heart of Georgia’s beautiful Blue Ridge, this spectacular property spans 6,186 square feet, offering 360-degree views of the sparkling waters of Lake Burton, Yellowstone-inspired rustic elegance and complete privacy. The main home on the gorgeous property exudes old-world craftsmanship and frontier charm. Crafted from reclaimed Southern mill timber, oak siding shaped by hand rather than machine, wide-plank oak floors and steel structural supports, the house was thoughtfully designed to embrace the estate’s natural surroundings.

On the main level of the home, guests and residents are first greeted by an elegant entry foyer, showcasing views in two directions through an open riser staircase with reclaimed treads and flagstone flooring. Deep wood finishes continue throughout the home’s living and dining spaces, which boast vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, flanking fireplace posts reclaimed from Zachary Taylor Scott's historic home, and scenes from the lake via two walls. The main living area provides a welcoming ambiance for both gathering with family and friends and everyday living. Also on the primary level, the custom kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a large center island, and generous counter space – ideal for preparing meals to enjoy indoors or lakeside.

In total, the home features five spacious bedrooms, including a library currently fashioned as a bedroom, seven full bathrooms, and two half baths. Each bedroom is a peaceful retreat with unique, stunning views of Lake Burton, including the serene primary suite with private porch access, generous closet space, and a luxurious en-suite bath. Two guest bedrooms sit on the main floor, each including a private bath, and the upstairs area features a clever bunk room with access from two separate hallways, and a full bath on each end. A large, hidden pocket door can be opened to separate the space into two separate rooms when desired.

The terrace level serves as an additional living space, offering a spacious yet cozy media room with a wall of bunk beds against the back wall, a kitchenette with a full fridge/freezer combo, range, sink, dishwasher and laundry room with an additional sink. On this level, residents will also find a gym designed to mirror the upstairs bunk room, with full bathrooms on each end. This space could also be converted into two separate guest bedrooms, with the addition of a wall.

Outside, homeowners and guests truly experience the magic of the island. The property features a screened porch, open-air dining deck, and lower-level covered patio for optimal outdoor living, each providing the perfect setting for morning coffee, afternoon lounging, or festive evening dinners under the stars. Also on the property sits a two-story, two-stall boathouse featuring a sundeck, a separate swim dock, and generous lake frontage. Lakefront living is reimagined on 1 Burton Island, with easy access to unlimited recreational water activities year-round, including boating, fishing, paddleboarding, and swimming. The island itself also offers winding trails made of recycled tire throughout, leading to putting green, the swim dock and boathouse, and more.

Just minutes from charming downtown Clayton, 1 Burton Island offers proximity to award-winning dining, boutique shopping, and outdoor recreation, including hiking, waterfalls, and scenic drives through the mountains. Located less than two hours from Atlanta, this property is a rare and remarkable legacy retreat – perfect for those seeking luxury living in a one-of-a-kind natural setting.
