Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles’ second annual Burton Showhouse is a new 3,185-square-foot cottage with views of Lake Burton, the North Georgia mountains, and the Chattahoochee National Forest. The Showhouse, endearingly named “Maidenhair,” is nestled in the new Burton community by developer PACE LYNCH in collaboration with town planner and designer LEW OLIVER, MCKINNEY BUILDERS, landscape and garden designer P. ALLEN SMITH, and DANA LYNCH DESIGN for the interior specifications.

A new addition to the community and the Showhouse programming this year is the Burton Boathouse, a new stone and shingled gathering space inspired by Lake Burton’s famous boathouses. Built by McKinney Builders with interior design by MICHELE GRATCH INTERIORS, the Burton Boathouse includes a fireside lounge, entertaining and play space, spa and wellness facilities, heated saline pool, hot tub and spa, fire pits, event lawn, paddleboard and kayak launch, and slips with shared community boats. The Boathouse will be open for tours daily, in tandem with the Showhouse. Proceeds benefit the Wildcat Volunteer Fire Department and the Lake Burton Civic Association Foundation.
