Description

Experience the very best of Lake Lanier living with this exceptional LAKEFRONT RETREAT, where peaceful mornings begin with coffee overlooking sparkling deep water & evenings end with unforgettable sunsets, laughter around the fireplace, & the gentle sounds of the lake. Designed for those who love to entertain as much as they value quiet moments, this lakefront home features 6BR & 3BA, generous gathering spaces, large bedrooms & seamless indoor-outdoor living. Expansive windows invite natural light & showcase the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Whether hosting holiday celebrations, summer weekends with friends & family, or multiple generations under one roof, everyone has room to relax and feel at home. At the heart of the property is one of its most coveted features ~ a private DOUBLE SLIP DOCK with 2nd story sundeck, tucked into a quiet cove that always has DEEP WATER, with easy sloped access from the house via walking or golf cart. This is waterfront living without compromise. The terrace level features a 2nd kitchen, living area & fireplace along with access to the screened in porch & lower deck & hot tub! After a day on the water, gather on one of the two decks & unwind beneath the stars, enjoying the peaceful privacy that only true lakefront living can provide. An attached garage & an additional garage/workshop offer abundant space for boats, golf carts, lake toys, recreational equipment, & every lake hobby imaginable. Perfectly positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac & just minutes from Gainesville's restaurants, shopping, & everyday conveniences, this home offers the rare opportunity to enjoy luxury lake living while remaining close to everything you need. Whether you're searching for a full time residence, an extraordinary weekend escape, or an income producing Short-Term/Vacation Rental, this is more than a home ~ it's where traditions begin, lifelong memories are created, & every season is experienced from the water's edge. Life moves differently on Lake Lanier. Welcome home!
