This magnificent, elegantly rustic, custom built Lake Lanier estate on 6.78 acres includes a Main Home, a Carriage House, and 2 attached Guest Houses on deep water with a double slip party dock, along with a stream, multiple waterfalls and water features, covered gazebo, and stone walking paths, is like no other property you've experienced! It could easily function as a private estate, investment opportunity, or corporate retreat. The refined gated entrance and tree lined drive over the stream welcomes you to the Main Home reminiscent of a log home in the mountains. Once inside, you'll appreciate the family room with gorgeous, hand hewn logs and beams, pine floors taken from an 1800's cabin, both joined with wood pegs, wood ceiling, stone fireplace, and an open porch leading to a stone patio that captures beautiful lake views. The kitchen boasts a stone backsplash, Viking appliances of a 4 burner with griddle gas range and refrigerator, a Bosch dishwasher, built-in pantry, a second stone fireplace in the dining area, and lake views. Just off the kitchen is a laundry room, and a hall full bath with SteaMist shower. Walk past a spiral staircase (reclaimed from a ship) and you'll find a generous Guest bedroom with ensuite offering a third stone fireplace, built-ins, lake views, and French doors to a private screened porch. The bath includes a gorgeous stone accent wall and a huge, dual head shower. Upstairs, the Primary bedroom with ensuite offers a cozy sitting/office area featuring a wood burning stove against a stone accent wall. Built-ins and a spacious morning bar lead into the luxurious bath with a makeup area, SteaMist shower, and stone floors. Within the bedroom, a fourth stone fireplace, huge walk-in closet with built-in storage, and French doors leading to your private deck overlooking the lake, combine to enhance the beginning or ending of your day. An additional bedroom/office with 3 closets, a sitting area, and a fifth stone fireplace will warmly welcome guests. Two hall closets and a hall, full bath completes the upper floor. The Carriage House features a 2 bay, heated and cooled garage with an interlocking tiled floor. Upstairs you'll enjoy the convenience of a full kitchen with a Thermador 4 burner gas range, 2 Subzero under counter refrigerators, a Bosch dishwasher, granite counters, stained cabinets, wood walls and ceiling, and wide board pine flooring. A spacious dining and living area focuses on a stacked stone accent wall with wood burning stove. A full bath, linen closet, and closet, along with a loft bedroom makes a perfect space for your guests. Should there be a power loss, a Generac generator supports the Main Home and the Carriage House. The Guest Homes allow for additional family or guests to feel right at home. Each home features 2 garage bays that are heated and cooled with separate thermostats, with 1 bay hosting an EV charger. Upon entering the homes, you'll find a laundry room with glazed cabinets, Travertine tile floors, granite countertops, and a sink. Before you walk upstairs, look up! You won't want to miss the stunning, light-filled, wood ceiling. Once upstairs, you'll find that both living spaces are private, yet conveniently connected. They each offer kitchenettes with Kitchen Aide refrigerators, drawer dishwashers, and microwaves. The family and dining areas are intimate, and both have ample bedrooms with ensuites. Stone paths from the Main home and the Guest Home lead past the stream, waterfall, and pond to a covered gazebo with beautiful lake views. The 32x32 double slip, covered dock is teak and has been recently pressure washed and oiled. Included at the dock are a boat hoist and 4 jet ski ports. The dock electrical was also recently rewired. This amazing property also features stone accent walls. A walkable paved cart path that leads to the adjacent vacant lot with a concrete drive allows for overflow parking, an RV or trailer for your watercraft, and a separate gated entrance.
