Listing description

About this home

Welcome to Victory Ranch, formerly known as Persimmon Creek Vineyard: approximately 88 private, gated acres in the Persimmon Valley, one of the most beautiful areas of Rabun County, Georgia. Persimmon Creek flows through the property, which is about half open meadow and half hardwood forest, with mountain views and a stone bridge that crosses the creek to the woodlands and pastures beyond. Neighbors are large private estates and National Forest land.

Before 2013, the property was home to Persimmon Creek Vineyard, whose wines were served in fine restaurants across the country. For the past 13 years, it has been lovingly cared for and maintained by the current owners, who have found privacy, serenity and healing while enjoying this sanctuary. Today it is ready for its next chapter: a family compound, a private retreat, an equestrian or farm estate, or a return to growing grapes.

The vineyard's trellis system of posts and wires is still in place, though there are no viable vines. Four homes are on the property, and all four are offered fully furnished. HARVEST HOUSE, the main house, sits closest to the gated entrance.

It has 4 bedrooms, including a bunk room that sleeps ten, and 2.5 large bathrooms. The open gathering area and kitchen share a fireplace, and expansive decks and ground-level living areas take in the views. On the terrace level, a games den with barn doors opens to the outdoor entertaining area and fire pit, perfect for larger gatherings.

The terrace level also has a double garage and a 3/4 basement that is unfinished, offering storage or room to expand. There are two sets of washers and dryers. THREE GUEST COTTAGES, built in 2008, sit on the hill above the valley around a common garden.

They are close enough to walk from one to another, yet far enough apart for privacy. They were custom designed by noted architects and interior designers and built with exceptional materials and craftsmanship: stone fireplaces, antique heart pine floors, beamed ceilings, professional-grade Viking appliances, Waterworks fixtures and copper accents. - A two-bedroom cottage with 2.5 baths, a main-level primary suite, a great room with a stone fireplace that opens to the outdoor patio and a wrap-around porch.

- A second two-bedroom cottage with 2.5 baths, a main-level primary suite with Carrara marble bath, a reading nook, a front porch and a rear deck. - A one-bedroom cottage on one level, with one large spa bath with two copper tubs in a bay window overlooking the valley and a large walk-in shower. It also has a stone fireplace and a veranda and patio with an outdoor fireplace.

All four homes have whole-house generators, and internet is provided by Kinetic. The property is about 12 miles from historic downtown Clayton, about 10 minutes from Lake Burton, and about 7 minutes from Heaven's Landing, a private airport. Atlanta is about 1 hour 45 minutes away.

Private land of this size, with creek frontage, open meadows, forest and four furnished homes, rarely comes to market in Rabun County.

Property tax (first-year est.)
~$62,948/yr

Estimate: a typical Rabun effective rate applied to the list price before any exemptions. Florida bills change with reassessment, homestead and other exemptions, and local taxing districts — this is not your expected bill. Confirm with the county property appraiser.

CDD assessment
Not reported

The MLS listing does not report a CDD amount. Many Florida communities have one; it shows on the county tax bill — confirm with the tax collector or the listing agent.

Insurance (illustrative range)
$26k–$54k/yr

An illustrative modeled range, not based on carrier underwriting and not a quote. Florida premiums vary significantly by roof age, wind-mitigation features, claims history, and carrier — a real quote can land well outside this range. Flood zone not verified for this address — check msc.fema.gov and confirm coverage. Get a quote from a licensed insurer before relying on any figure.

HOA
None reported

The listing reports no HOA. Confirm with the county record that no mandatory association applies.

Environmental data

Flood zone & elevation

Sourced environmental data for the parcel. Confirm with FEMA and your insurer.

FEMA flood zone

Not yet verified for this address. Look up the parcel at msc.fema.gov before relying on any flood assumption.

Before you decide

Buyer research checklist

Items worth confirming for 81 Vineyard Lane, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.

  • Built in 1990 (36 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
  • The listing reports no HOA: confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to this parcel.
  • 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.
  • Waterfront: confirm seawall or dock condition and permits, and ask who owns and maintains the shoreline.
  • Listed living area is 2,662 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 $62,948/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.

Estimates, methodology & disclaimers

Opinion & estimate — do not rely on this page. Any figure on this page that is not a verbatim fact from the listing or a public record — including estimated property taxes, insurance, CDD/HOA amounts, mortgage payments, comparable-sales summaries, and market statistics — is an opinion and estimate provided for general informational purposes only. These figures may be inaccurate or out of date, are not appraisals, valuations, or financial, legal, tax, or investment advice, and should not be relied upon. Do not make any purchase, offer, financing, or other decision based on this page. Independently verify everything — price, square footage, lot size, year built, taxes, CDD/HOA, flood status, school assignments, permits, and community rules — with the listing broker, the county, your lender, a licensed inspector, an insurer, and your own advisors before acting.

Estimate methodology. Tax estimates apply county millage to the list price (less the homestead exemption where the parcel is matched to the certified roll) and will differ from the actual assessed bill. Cost and market figures are derived from available data and simple calculations, not a professional appraisal. We make no representation that any estimate reflects fair market value.

Automated content. Some summaries, distances, and estimates on this page are generated automatically from public and proprietary data sources and may contain errors or omissions. We strive for accuracy but cannot guarantee the completeness or accuracy of any information. Verify anything important independently.
