Explore Rabun CountyWhere Chip Sells
Chip Durpo has sold real estate since 1981 from his office on Highway 441 in Dillard, in the middle of the markets he knows best. Most of his business is Rabun County GA real estate, Sky Valley real estate above all; across the state line he sells Scaly Mountain NC and Highlands NC, and he is building a presence at Lake Oconee.
Rabun County GA real estate covers the northeast corner of Georgia: Dillard, Rabun Gap, Tiger and Clayton, the county seat, with Sky Valley up on the North Carolina line. Buyers come for Blue Ridge views, cooler summers and mountain lakes like Lake Burton and Lake Rabun. Homes range from log cabins in the valleys to lakefront estates and acreage. Chip’s family has been on Lake Burton since the 1970s, and he lists and shows his Rabun County homes himself. Start with Rabun County homes for sale, Lake Burton or Clayton.
Sky Valley real estate is Chip’s home market. Sky Valley is Georgia’s highest town, at about 3,500 feet on the slopes of Rabun Bald, where summer afternoons run well below Atlanta’s and life centers on Sky Valley Country Club, the highest golf course in Georgia. Homes range from golf-course and long-view homes to condos and wooded lots, a few minutes from Dillard and the North Carolina line. See Sky Valley homes for sale.
Scaly Mountain NC real estate sits just across the state line from Sky Valley, along NC 106 between Dillard and Highlands in Macon County. It is a quiet mountain community of wooded homesites, cabins and second homes beneath Scaly Mountain itself, known in winter for the snow tubing at the Scaly Mountain Outdoor Center. Owners are minutes from Sky Valley’s golf and a short drive from Highlands’ restaurants and shops. Chip sells on both sides of the line, so one broker handles Georgia and North Carolina. See Scaly Mountain homes for sale.
Highlands NC real estate is the Highlands Plateau’s mix of historic cottages, club homes and estates at about 4,100 feet, with Main Street’s restaurants and galleries, waterfalls and country clubs close by. Chip is licensed in North Carolina and helps buyers and sellers across the Plateau. Browse Highlands NC homes for sale.
Lake Oconee real estate is Chip’s newest market: golf and lakefront homes in Greene and Putnam counties, around Reynolds Lake Oconee, Greensboro and Eatonton, where Chip lived for 13 years. Call his Lake Oconee line at (706) 749-7700 or see Lake Oconee real estate.
