Located on 1.42 fenced and gated acres with approximately 199 feet of Lake Lanier shoreline, this partially updated brick ranch with a finished terrace level combines privacy, usability, and easy lake living just minutes from downtown Gainesville shopping, restaurants, Northeast Georgia Medical Center, parks, and entertainment. Behind the gated entrance with keypad access for guests, the property opens to beautifully usable grounds with multiple outbuildings, fencing, mature trees, and a gentle almost grass-to-water walk or drive leading to the single-slip covered dock in deep water. The dock was recently upgraded with new wood, making this an ideal setup for boating, fishing, swimming, kayaking, and year-round Lake Lanier enjoyment. Inside, the home features completely new Andersen windows throughout, bringing natural light and lake views into the living spaces. The main level offers comfortable ranch-style living with upgraded porcelain tile flooring installed in 2023, a wood-burning stove, updated fixtures, and seven new ceiling fans. Recent major system improvements include new upstairs and downstairs HVAC systems installed in 2024, a newer water heater, and an approximately 3-year-old metal roof designed for long-term durability and low maintenance. The partially finished terrace level provides additional living space, a bedroom and bath with updated shower, recreation space, laundry room, storage, workshop potential, or room for future expansion. Recently installed LVP flooring. Multiple outbuildings offer flexibility for hobbies, lake toys, tools, workshop space, or storage rarely found with Lake Lanier homes. The fenced and gated acreage creates privacy and room for a pool, pets, gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful lakefront setting. Whether you are searching for a full-time Lake Lanier residence, weekend lake house, a home to practice your rowing on Lake Lanier, ST rental, investment property, or private waterfront retreat, this Gainesville lakefront home offers the combination today’s buyers are searching for: deep water dock, gentle lake access, gated privacy, updated systems, usable acreage, no HOA restrictions, and convenient access to Gainesville shopping, healthcare and entertainment amenities.
