About This Home

Charming Lake Lanier Cottage with Private Dock & Big Potential
Welcome to 6800 Thunder Trail — a hidden gem nestled in the woods on the shores of beautiful Lake Lanier. From the front, this home looks like a cozy cottage, but step inside and you'll discover a spacious three-level layout full of potential and lake life charm. This 1980s home has never been renovated, offering a rare opportunity to make it your own. Recent updates include a brand-new, rebuilt deck, new HVAC system, and luxury vinyl plank flooring in the upstairs primary bedroom — giving you a head start on your vision. The main level features two bedrooms, a full bath, and a screened porch perfect for morning coffee or evening breezes. Downstairs, the finished basement is a blank canvas — ideal for creating a cozy den, guest suite, or game room.
Tucked away on a wooded lot, the property offers privacy and a peaceful, natural setting. A short stroll down a trail leads to your private, permitted dock in deep, quiet water — perfect for swimming, fishing, or launching your next lake adventure. And when the water levels drop, the dock can be pushed out to stay accessible. There’s also a detached one-car garage, great for storage, a workshop, or your lake toys. Located in a highly desirable part of the lake, you're just a 20-minute boat ride to Pelican Pete’s and other lakeside favorites for dining.
Whether you're looking for a weekend retreat, full-time lake home, or investment with upside, this property is full of promise. Come see the potential and start your Lake Lanier story today!
