About This Home
Price improved by $160,000. With the owners relocating, this estate presents a rare opportunity
to acquire one of the most distinctive lakefront properties on Lake Lanier.
This approximately 7,800 square foot residence rests on a beautifully landscaped, tiered lot that
descends to a level lawn at the water’s edge, ending at a private deep-water dock that holds
water year-round. Direct, walkable lake access from a flat lakefront yard is something rarely
seen on Lake Lanier, and the unobstructed view captured from nearly every room is just as
uncommon. The property carries no HOA.
Custom wrought iron railings and staircases lead gracefully down the terraced grounds to the
custom-built dock, which includes a hydro boat lift, jet ski platform, and multi-level entertaining
decks. A Michael Phelps Signature hot tub, an outdoor storage shed, and ample space for a
future pool round out the outdoor experience.
Inside, the main level primary suite serves as a quiet retreat with panoramic water views, private
back deck access, a marble bath with double head shower and oversized jacuzzi tub, and a
spacious walk-in closet. Real hardwood floors run throughout the main level, anchored by an
oversized stacked stone fireplace. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with custom cabinetry,
pullout drawers, a wet bar, and color adjustable LED lighting that carries into the living area for a
fully customizable ambiance. The main floor is completed by a dedicated home office, a formal
dining room, an expansive laundry room with sink, toilet, and laundry chute, and a full-width
back deck with covered and open-air spaces.
The finished terrace level is built for relaxation and gathering, featuring a full gym, a private
sauna, a painted brick fireplace, an expansive bar, and a game room outfitted with pool table,
shuffleboard, and air hockey. A dedicated home theater with projector and A/V closet, two full
baths, and a utility room with dual tankless water heaters complete the lower level.
The home offers four bedrooms, four full baths, two half baths, a 2.5 car garage, two full attic
storage spaces, and a stained and stamped driveway. Its setting between Gainesville,
Cumming, and Dawsonville provides quick GA 400 access while placing the home within the
highly regarded Forsyth County Schools district.
The combination of unobstructed views, level lakefront lawn, year-round deep water dock, and
absence of an HOA is genuinely rare on Lake Lanier, and with the sellers relocating, it is now
offered at an improved price of $3,790,000.
