Every now and then, a property captures the very essence of lakeside living, this is that place. Set behind a private gate at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this extraordinary Lake Lanier retreat rests on 1.5+/- acres with over 300 feet of deep-water shoreline and breathtaking west-facing views that frame unforgettable sunsets. A charming winding drive leads to the residence, while outdoor living takes center stage with a heated infinity pool and spa, multi-level slate patios, and a gorgeous wood-burning stone fireplace beneath a covered pavilion with rough-sawn pine beams and tongue-and-groove ceiling. Just below the pool, a second stone fire pit near the shoreline invites evening gatherings under the stars. Down a gentle, landscaped path lies a newer 32x32 double-slip party dock, the largest size allowed on Lake Lanier plus an additional guest dock, both in year-round deep water. Inside, natural light and lake views fill every corner. The primary suite offers a private sitting room and sunroom. With four bedrooms and four and a half baths, the home combines comfort and function with smart updates throughout, including three brand-new highly energy efficient 2.5-ton, 15-SEER two-stage HVAC systems coupled with all new smart thermostats for year-round climate control. Located just 10 minutes to downtown Buford, where charming boutiques, local restaurants, and live music fill the historic square. A short, scenic drive connects you to several of North Georgia’s acclaimed wineries, offering weekend escapes just beyond your doorstep. A three-car garage with workshop, expansive covered two-car carport, and brick driveway provide ample space for guests, watercraft, and weekend gear. Whether a primary home, family retreat, or luxury short-term rental, this property captures the spirit of Lake Lanier living - peaceful, inviting, and impossible to forget.
