Nestled atop the picturesque hills overlooking Lake Burton, the Burton Showhouse is a marvel of modern luxury. The 4,000-square-foot cottage, endearingly named “Crow’s Nest,” was meticulously designed by the region’s top creatives, showcasing the highest standards in architecture and craftsmanship.
With materials provided by UMI Stone, this project reflects the elegance and durability that our surfaces bring to luxury homes. In the following sections, we’ll take you through this exquisite space and the collaborative craftsmanship that made it possible.
Creating the Burton Showhouse
The Burton Showhouse is nothing short of a masterpiece. Located on an expansive 82-acre property, this stunning five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom home is a beacon of elegance and meticulous, thoughtful design. Developed by Pace Lynch in partnership with McKinney Builders, the home was designed with the input of town planner Lew Oliver and interior specifications by Dana Lynch Design and several other interior designers.
Perched at the highest elevation in the new Burton community, Crow’s Nest combines sweeping mountain views with architectural grandeur. This four-story home merges historical design elements with contemporary luxury. While the structure echoes the aesthetic of the late 1800s, its interiors embrace modern comforts, making it perfect for any modern homeowner.
The Burton Showhouse also offers an array of premium amenities, including:
- A primary suite on the main floor for seamless single-level living. Everything is more accessible, which means your life is easier.
- Upper levels with three additional bedrooms, a bunk room, and a den to create that multi-generational or big family home you’ve always wanted.
- A rooftop terrace with gorgeous views of Lake Burton and the Chattahoochee National Forest.
- High-quality local materials selected for durability and beauty.
- Artisan finishes and luxury fixtures that take this home to the next level in both design and function.
The Burton Showhouse truly has it all, making it a sought-after retreat that exemplifies what it means to have a home with modern style, unrivaled quality, and breathtaking surroundings.

The Burton Showhouse
To truly capture the charm and beauty of the partnership between UMI Stone and the Burton Showhouse, we’ve compiled several key photos from this breathtaking project.
Exploring the Kitchen
This kitchen creates the perfect blend of classic and modern aesthetics with an inviting yet refined atmosphere. Everything from the muted green cabinetry with matte black handles and industrial fixtures to the beautifully crafted kitchen island and exposed ceiling beams exemplifies what it means to blend classic elements with modern design sensibilities.
The centerpiece of the kitchen is a stunning Magnolia Quartzite 3cm Honed countertop, which features soft, organic veining that enhances the room’s natural and elegant ambiance. The countertop’s smooth, honed finish lends a subtle sheen that complements the warm tones of the cabinetry and wooden flooring.
And the Magnolia Quartzite countertop extends across the kitchen island, providing both functional workspace and visual appeal. Its refined texture and delicate pattern add depth to the design without overwhelming the other elements, allowing the stone’s natural beauty to take center stage.
A Simple Washroom
This washroom exudes a refined yet rustic charm, with Vetrazzo Palladian Grey countertops as the focal point. The countertop’s unique, recycled glass composition introduces a play of colors and textures, creating a striking contrast against the dark cabinetry.
As you can see, the intricate patterns in the glass reflect light beautifully, adding depth and a sense of luxury to the space. This sustainable, eco-friendly surface choice brings character and sophistication, making it a practical and aesthetic addition to the floating wooden shelf, carefully curated glassware and industrial wall sconces. Together, these elements combine to create a space that feels both modern and timeless.
A Luxurious Bathroom
This bathroom presents a beautifully cohesive design that merges elegance with warmth, accentuated by the White Opal Marble 3cm Honed countertops. The soft, honed finish of the marble adds a luxurious touch, and the subtle veining in the marble provides just the right amount of texture without overwhelming the space.
The countertop’s brightness perfectly complements the dark cabinetry, highlighting the room’s brass hardware and elegant wallpaper. When combined, these elements create a bathroom that feels both timeless and tranquil, with the White Opal Marble serving as a focal point that truly elevates the entire space.
