About this home

Rare north Lake Lanier opportunity where every feature buyers chase actually exists in one place. This approximately 7,800 square foot custom estate sits on a beautifully tiered, mature acre that descends gracefully to a true level lawn at the water’s edge, a feature almost never found on Lanier, and continues to a private deep-water dock that holds water year-round, complete with hydro boat lift, jet ski platform, and multi-level entertaining decks. No HOA. Unobstructed water views frame nearly every room, and the property’s north-side location places owners minutes from the dining, shopping, and commerce of Gainesville, Cumming, and Dawsonville, with quick GA 400 access and highly regarded Forsyth County Schools. The main- level primary suite is a true retreat with panoramic water views, private deck access, marble bath with double-head shower, oversized jacuzzi tub, and a spacious walk-in closet. Real hardwoods run throughout the main level, anchored by a stacked stone fireplace and a thoughtfully designed kitchen with custom cabinetry, pullout drawers, wet bar, and color- adjustable LED lighting that flows into the living area for a fully customizable ambiance. A dedicated home office, formal dining, expansive laundry with sink, toilet, and chute, and a full- width covered and open-air back deck complete the main floor. Downstairs, the enormous finished terrace level is its own destination: full gym, private sauna, painted brick fireplace, expansive bar, and a game room with pool table, shuffleboard, and air hockey, plus a dedicated theater with projector and A/V closet, two full baths, and a utility room with dual tankless water heaters. Outside, custom wrought iron railings and staircases wind through mature, professionally landscaped grounds to the dock, a Michael Phelps Signature hot tub, outdoor storage shed, and generous space for a future pool. Four bedrooms, four full baths, two half baths, 2.5-car garage, dual attic storage, and a stained and stamped driveway. Year-round deep water, level lakefront lawn, unobstructed views, no HOA, and an unbeatable north-side commerce-corridor location. This combination simply does not come available on Lake Lanier.
