About this home
A rare opportunity in Waterfall at Lake Burton! An exceptional advantage accompanies the purchase of 163 Magnolia Place Trail: the new owner may immediately activate a transferable membership in The Waterfall Club, choosing either Social or Full membership, with no waiting period. Upon completion of required Club paperwork, closing on the home and payment of the applicable transfer fee, the Buyer can begin enjoying the Waterfall Club lifestyle.
Beautifully maintained and thoughtfully prepared for sale, this 5,244 heated sq. ft. home offers three levels of gracious mountain living, with views across an upper basin of Lake Burton and toward the surrounding mountains.
Built in 2004 with top-quality finishes, the home features beautiful hardwood floors, handsome moldings and cabinetry, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stacked-stone fireplace flanked by custom cabinets in the main living room. The spacious main-level primary suite is a private retreat with its own fireplace and both lake and mountain views. The oversized bath features separate vanities, a jetted soaking tub, large shower and generous walk-in closet that connects directly to the laundry room.
With kitchen-level entry from the immaculate two-car garage, only three steps into the house, and the primary suite, laundry and principal living spaces all on the main floor, everyday living can take place entirely on one level. A flexible main-level room provides the perfect setting for an office, library or quiet retreat. Three additional bedrooms are upstairs.
Every bedroom in the home enjoys en-suite bath access. The fifth bedroom is on the terrace level and offers wonderful flexibility as a private guest suite or dedicated home theater. A projection room is already in place and can alternatively serve as a walk-in closet.
The terrace level was designed for entertaining, with a large wine cellar, entertainment bar with sink and icemaker, fireplace and pool table area. Doors open to the terrace-level deck and included hot tub, providing yet another place to relax and enjoy the mountain setting. Outdoor living is equally inviting.
Enjoy meals on the screened dining porch, relax on the open deck, or settle into the covered main-level deck with its outdoor television area. From this elevated setting, the home looks across an upper Lake Burton basin and toward the mountains beyond. The views become especially dramatic in the cooler months, when the leaves fall and the moon rises above the mountain-a glorious sight from the home and decks.
The approximately quarter-acre homesite offers the advantage of minimal exterior upkeep, making this an appealing choice for either full-time or second-home living. The exterior combines Hardie shake siding with natural stone, while a generator provides additional peace of mind. The exceptionally clean two-car garage includes additional overhead storage.
The sellers have taken unusual care in preparing this property for its next owner, commissioning a pre-listing home inspection and addressing the items identified before bringing the home to market. The interior has also been freshly painted, leaving the home pristine and ready for its new owner. Select furnishings are included with the sale, including the hot tub and pool table, making the transition to the Waterfall lifestyle even easier.
With beautiful Lake Burton and mountain views, exceptional entertaining spaces, complete main-level living and the rare opportunity to step directly into membership at The Waterfall Club, 163 Magnolia Place Trail offers a compelling combination of comfort, quality and lifestyle. Waterfall Club membership is separate from property ownership and is subject to completion of required Club documentation, closing of the property purchase and payment of the applicable transfer fee. Membership details and requirements should be confirmed directly with the Club Membership Director.

This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.
Actual list price: $1,395,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 27% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
- Condition & updates — a renovated kitchen or new roof vs. dated finishes can swing value six figures; sq ft can't see it.
- The lot & views — a premium golf, water, or preserve lot vs. a road-facing one: same sq ft, very different price.
- Outliers skew it — one flip or distressed sale in the comps drags the whole $/sq ft up or down.
- Carrying costs & concessions — CDD, HOA, insurance, and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.
And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:
- This home: 1 days on market vs. a 198-day community median
- 10 active listings competing, 2 under contract
- ≈28.0 months of supply
- 3 closed here in the last 12 months
For reference, this home is listed at $1,395,000 ($266/sq ft) — a number set with analysis a Messtimate can't do.

Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 163 Magnolia Place Trail, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 2004 (22 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
- Confirm whether a mandatory HOA applies to this parcel and what it charges.
- Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and confirm with your insurer whether flood insurance is required.
- Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Rabun County; age of roof and any prior claims affect the premium.
- Listed living area is 5,244 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
- Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
- Review permit history with the county.
- Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $14,648/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; confirm exemptions with the county tax assessor.
- School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.
