Nighttime showings are encouraged and welcome! Steeped in Appalachian history and fresh off an extraordinary, top-to-bottom master renovation, the iconic 17 Water Wheel Lane offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own the historic Dickerson Mill on Keener Creek. This breathtaking estate seamlessly attaches to the preserved gristmill, where the massive waterwheel has been fully revived to functional glory and can be viewed alongside the vintage equipment room through new interior picture windows. The complete overhaul features a new roof, new heat/AC systems, new wiring, new lighting, new interior wood paneling, new stain on exterior, extensive stone work, new stone on chimney exterior, new designer lighting, a custom kitchen boasting a historic "Antique Belgian workbench" island with Big Chill appliances, a main-level European bathroom with an Antique French fountain sink, and a luxurious primary suite complete with a solid teak bathtub and an antique brick fireplace. The great room with 2 story ceiling, antique post and beam structure, with expansive new picture windows and glass doors frame spectacular, unmatched views of the roaring waterfall, rushing trout stream, and the turning wheel from almost every room. The exterior is a premier entertainment paradise, showcasing a new main-level covered deck with a gas-lined outdoor kitchen, a new upper deck anchored by a massive stone arch, a large outdoor deck, covered wet bar, gazebo, hot tub with a waterfall view, a ZEN garden, and a winding boardwalk path leading to the waterfall. All are beautifully illuminated by professional landscape lighting. There is a creekside beach with a swimming hole for those hot Summer days. Complemented by a two-car garage with a pull-through drive, this mountain masterpiece is tucked away in scenic Wolffork Valley in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, just minutes from the Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School, the historic Dillard House, Black Rock Mountain State Park, downtown Clayton's exceptional dining, and the pristine waters of Lakes Rabun and Burton. Note: This property is served by a shared septic system configuration, which has been in active use for approximately 40 years. The seller has provided detailed records, including a recorded deed of easement, a 1989 health department letter regarding the layout and shared use of the drain field, and a December 2022 septic tank inspection letter. Prospective buyers and their agents should review the documentation and perform independent due diligence to verify the system's status and suitability.
