Tucked deep in the natural embrace of Screamer Mountain, 75 Juniper Trail is a rare private sanctuary where solitude and living water define the experience. This property sits like a hidden garden oasis, enveloped by lush mossy banks, towering hardwoods, and the constant gentle music of three streams that converge across the land.

Rare opportunity on Screamer Mountain combined Lots 13 & 14 totaling approximately 0.84 acres with paved road frontage on Screamer Drive. This steep, heavily wooded parcel sits on the southeast side of the mountain just minutes from downtown Clayton. Public water is available and power lines run along the road. No covenants appear in the deed and there is no HOA. A 2021 Rabun County Environmental Health pre-purchase review (the most recent evaluation) determined the site will support a septic system for a one-bedroom residence when properly designed with the required setbacks from the stream, road cut, and replacement area. This is not a conventional multi-bedroom building lot, it is a carefully constrained mountain site best suited for a thoughtfully designed one-bedroom cabin, loft-style retreat, or small-footprint mountain home that works with the natural slope. The land offers genuine privacy, mature hardwoods, and the classic North Georgia mountain character that is getting harder to find this close to town. Ideal for the buyer who values location, solitude, and a high-quality small build over square footage. Priced at $38,500. Serious inquiries only - the septic limitation is non-negotiable and must be understood before scheduling a showing.
