About this home

Welcome to an extraordinary Lake Lanier retreat where luxury, privacy, and breathtaking waterfront living come together in one exceptional property. Perfectly positioned on a private wooded homesite, this remarkable residence captures dramatic lake and mountain views from the back of the home and features a substantial 32’ x 32’ double-slip dock with a party roof, approximately 30+ ft of deep water—one of Lake Lanier’s most coveted waterfront features. Located in the sought-after Chestatee Landing community, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy one of the lake’s most desirable settings. Thoughtfully updated throughout, the home showcases a new roof, recently painted exterior, beautifully refinished hardwood floors, fresh interior paint, updated lighting, and refreshed kitchens on both levels. The main-level kitchen features stylish cabinetry, new counters and backsplash, and new appliances, while the terrace-level kitchen has also been updated with new counters and backsplash. Exceptional craftsmanship and timeless architectural details are evident throughout. The spectacular keeping room is the centerpiece of the home, where soaring cathedral ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and walls of windows create a truly unforgettable space. Filled with natural light and framed by breathtaking views, it offers the perfect setting for both everyday living and entertaining. Expansive windows throughout the home bring the beauty of the lake indoors. The main-level owner’s suite serves as a private retreat with lake views and direct access to the oversized screened porch stretching across the lakeside of the home. Accessible from the owner’s suite, main living areas, and side porch off the kitchen, this exceptional outdoor living space is ideal for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Directly below, an equally expansive terrace-level porch mirrors the footprint of the screened porch above, providing additional space for relaxation and entertaining. The open-air setting is complemented by a private hot tub overlooking the lake. While offering exceptional privacy and a true retreat-like setting, the property remains part of the highly desirable Chestatee Landing community, where residents enjoy access to a community pool, tennis court, and clubhouse. From the dramatic lake and mountain views to the deep-water double-slip dock, extensive updates, exceptional craftsmanship, and outstanding indoor and outdoor living spaces, this is more than a home—it’s a Lake Lanier lifestyle destination designed to be enjoyed for generations to come.
