About this home
A SUBSTANTIAL BUYER INCENTIVE IS BEING OFFERED FOR A PURCHASER WHO CAN CLOSE ON OR BEFORE MAY 31, 2026-AN EXCEPTIONAL OPPORTUNITY TO SECURE ADDED VALUE ON THIS RESIDENCE. Experience refined lake living on this private and beautifully landscaped 1.5-acre estate, ideally positioned along one of Lake Lanier's most desirable and navigable shoreline corridors. Offering a rare blend of privacy, usability, and long-term value, this thoughtfully updated residence delivers the lifestyle lake buyers seek-without compromise. Inside, the home features an expansive open layout filled with natural light, soaring ceilings, and effortless flow between the main living spaces. A spacious fireside family room anchors the heart of the home, framed by walls of windows that capture tranquil wooded lake views. The gourmet kitchen is equipped with premium appliances, generous prep space, and an inviting layout perfectly suited for both entertaining and everyday living. Formal dining, multiple lounge areas, and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions create a home designed for connection and comfort. The main-level owner's suite serves as a serene private retreat, complete with a spa-inspired bath, walk-in dressing area, and direct access to the pool terrace. Additional guest suites and flexible bonus rooms allow the home to adapt easily for multigenerational living, work-from-home needs, or extended-stay guests. Outdoors, the property transforms into a true private lakefront resort. Enjoy a heated pool with sun shelf, stone terrace, covered entertaining areas, and a fully equipped outdoor grilling kitchen-ideal for hosting or unwinding in total seclusion. The property's rare gentle topography provides exceptional usable yard space, setting it apart from much of Lake Lanier's steeper shoreline and offering flexibility for future enhancements. A defining advantage of this home is its exceptional lake access and dock usability, supported by Lake Lanier's historically stable water levels. During peak boating season, the lake remains at or above full pool, allowing comfortable docking for pontoons, wake and ski boats, center-console vessels, and personal watercraft. Even during seasonal winter drawdowns, the dock remains highly functional, supporting continued use for pontoons, ski and wake boats, jet skis, and other shallow-draft recreational vessels-a meaningful benefit that preserves year-round enjoyment and long-term value. Enhancing everyday convenience, the home is located just approximately five minutes by boat from Athens Boat Club, providing immediate access to on-lake fuel, marina services, and waterfront dining. This exceptionally short run eliminates long trips across the lake, making spontaneous outings, guest use, and weekend entertaining effortless while maintaining the privacy of a quiet residential cove. A COE-deeded mowing permit further elevates the offering, allowing owners to maintain open lake views and enjoy the rare privilege of golf-cart access to the shoreline-an amenity seldom available and highly prized among Lake Lanier properties. Together, these features create a lakefront estate that delivers privacy without isolation, recreation without inconvenience, and luxury without compromise-a compelling opportunity for discerning end users....
