About This Home
As of August 2025Private Lakefront Retreat on Lake Lanier priced below appraisal. Tucked away behind lush trees and set back from the street, this secluded lake house offers the perfect escape. With breathtaking 180-degree panoramic views of Lake Lanier along the Chattahoochee River, this home is designed to soothe the soul. Step into the sunlit solarium-style foyer, where skylights and expansive windows invite natural light to pour in-creating a year-round haven for plants. As you enter the living room, through the wall-to-wall windows, the stunning lake view will immediately capture your attention. The open-concept main level features a dining area, kitchen, and breakfast bar, all leading to an adjacent covered deck-ideal for grilling. The expansive back deck offers unobstructed lake vistas, including a view of a nearby Corps of Engineers-owned island, ensuring lasting privacy. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a fireplace, private deck access, and an updated bathroom. A second bedroom, currently used as a craft room, and another renovated full bath, complete the main level. Downstairs, discover more glass doors framing picturesque water views, a spacious living area, a third bedroom, a full bath, a laundry room, and ample storage in the unfinished portion of the basement. The attached garage includes additional workspace for tools or hobbies. This hidden lakeside gem is ready for your personal touch-whether as a full-time residence or a weekend getaway. Some TLC will make this retreat truly shine. Parts of the basement need repairs. Dock permit is active, approved for a 18' x 24' wood/steel dock, a 40' walkway, 75' of crosstie path and will transfer.
