Fine Homes and Luxury Properties at Lake Burton and Lake Rabun

Welcome to Lake Burton and Lake Rabun!

We’re not just your local realtor, we’re your neighbor. Hi, I’m Jon Barnwell and I’ve been living in the area since I first came to high school here back in the 80s. I moved away for a few years after high school and returned here for many of the same reasons people choose to visit here or stay here: to live a life filled with the outdoors, a place where technology takes a back seat to the scenic views and face time means sitting around a camp fire or fire pit with friends. My office is located in downtown Clayton, GA. I invite you to stop by and I’ll give you a tour. If you’re interested in waterfront property, I provide boat tours as well. If you live here already, then stop by this website to stay informed about local events, places to visits, great local dining and shopping and more!
