Overview
Positioned directly on the shores of LAKE LANIER with immediate water access and exceptional dock usability, this private and beautifully landscaped 1.5-acre estate delivers a rare opportunity to experience true luxury lakefront living in one of the lake’s most desirable and navigable shoreline corridors. Blending privacy, usability, and long-term value, the residence offers the elevated lifestyle discerning Lake Lanier buyers seek—without compromise. Inside, the home showcases an expansive open-concept layout filled with natural light, soaring ceilings, and seamless flow throughout the main living spaces. A spacious fireside family room anchors the home, framed by walls of windows that capture tranquil wooded lake views and create an effortless connection to the outdoors. The gourmet kitchen is thoughtfully designed with premium appliances, generous prep space, and an inviting layout ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. Formal dining, multiple gathering areas, and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions create a home equally suited for intimate evenings or large-scale hosting.
The main-level owner’s suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a spa-inspired bath, walk-in dressing area, and direct access to the resort-style pool terrace. Additional guest suites and flexible bonus spaces provide versatility for multigenerational living, work-from-home functionality, or extended-stay guests.
Outdoors, the property transforms into a true private lakefront resort. Enjoy a heated pool with sun shelf, expansive stone terraces, covered entertaining spaces, and a fully equipped outdoor grilling kitchen—all designed for elevated outdoor living and effortless entertaining. The property’s rare gentle topography provides exceptional usable yard space, a significant advantage over much of Lake Lanier’s steeper shoreline and a feature that enhances both functionality and long-term desirability. A defining feature of this estate is its exceptional year-round lake usability. Supported by Lake Lanier’s historically stable water levels, the dock comfortably accommodates pontoons, wake and ski boats, center-console vessels, and personal watercraft throughout peak boating season. Even during seasonal winter drawdowns, the dock remains highly functional for continued recreational use—an increasingly valuable characteristic that enhances both enjoyment and long-term value retention. Adding to the convenience and lifestyle appeal, the property is located approximately five minutes by boat from Athens Boat Club, providing immediate access to on-water fuel, marina services, and waterfront dining without requiring long runs across the lake. This unique proximity allows for spontaneous outings, effortless entertaining, and easy guest access while still preserving the privacy of a quiet residential cove.
Further elevating the offering, a valuable COE-deeded mowing permit allows owners to maintain open lake views and enjoy the rare privilege of golf-cart access directly to the shoreline—an amenity seldom available and highly coveted among Lake Lanier properties. Together, these features create a compelling lakefront estate that delivers privacy without isolation, recreation without inconvenience, and refined luxury directly on the water in one of Lake Lanier’s most sought-after settings.
