Rabun Estates – Your Peaceful Escape Near Savannah, GA
Ahhh…Savannah, GA! This historic and charming city offers culture, shopping, entertainment, and unbeatable Southern hospitality. But sometimes, you want a quiet retreat — a place where nature, space, and serenity come first. That’s why Rabun Estates in Guyton, GA became such a beloved community.
Located just off I-95 in the welcoming bedroom community of Guyton, Rabun Estates offered the perfect blend of privacy and convenience. Families enjoyed large wooded homesites designed to preserve the natural beauty of the Georgia landscape. Many homes featured views of the peaceful Rabun Pond, creating a scenic and relaxing backdrop for day-to-day living.
Beautiful Floor Plans Designed for Every Family
Rabun Estates originally showcased twelve thoughtfully designed floor plans, ranging from cozy single-story homes to spacious five-bedroom layouts. Options included:
- The 1,803 sq. ft. Seabreeze — perfect for smaller families or those seeking the simplicity of single-story living.
- The spacious Kingston — with 3,321 square feet of living space for growing families.
- The elegant Ellington — a generous 3,441 sq. ft. layout designed for those who love extra room to unwind.
Each home was engineered with energy efficiency in mind, offering long-term savings without sacrificing comfort or beauty. Homebuyers could personalize their homes with upgrades such as granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, wood flooring, oversized walk-in closets, and optional side-entry garages.
Exceptional Schools & Convenient Location
Parents especially appreciated that Rabun Estates belonged to the highly regarded South Effingham School District — known for its strong academics, modern facilities, and competitive athletic programs.
And while residents enjoyed quiet country living, they were still within easy reach of Savannah’s shopping, dining, and major highways.
