Nestled on over an acre with panoramic lake views stretching from nearly every room, this exceptional property was designed to embrace the beauty of the water while delivering an unmatched level of comfort, sophistication, and everyday luxury. From the moment you arrive through the gated entrance, the home makes an unforgettable impression with timeless architectural character, curated designer finishes, and a setting built for both elevated entertaining and relaxed lakefront living. Inside, rich textures and warm natural elements blend seamlessly throughout, highlighted by extensive bluestone flooring, exposed wood beams, custom millwork, and designer lighting that adds depth and elegance to every space. At the center of the home, the chef's kitchen is both functional and stunning, thoughtfully appointed with premium Thermador appliances, quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and elevated finishes that create the perfect gathering place for hosting. Expansive living spaces are designed to maximize the connection to the outdoors, including a dramatic garage style glass door that opens the main living area directly to a sprawling covered porch overlooking the lake. Retractable screens allow for effortless indoor-outdoor living while capturing the breeze, views, and atmosphere that make Lake Lanier so special. The outdoor experience rivals that of a luxury resort. An incredible infinity edge pool and spa overlook the water, surrounded by meticulously designed landscaping, multiple entertaining terraces, and a custom outdoor fireplace that creates the perfect backdrop for evenings by the lake. Whether hosting large gatherings or enjoying quiet mornings overlooking the water, every inch of the property was designed to elevate the lake lifestyle. A dedicated golf cart path leads directly to the shoreline, where two private docks offering 3 slips and 2 boat lifts provide an incredibly rare opportunity for boating, entertaining, and enjoying everything Lake Lanier has to offer. The finished terrace level further enhances the home's entertainment appeal with a spacious wet bar, direct walk-out access to the pool area, and an oversized storage and utility space ideal for lake toys, equipment, and organized everyday living. Additional features continue throughout the property, including plantation shutters, artisan-designed custom closet systems, extensive built-in garage cabinetry, and a versatile climate-controlled bonus room above the garage perfect for a bunk room, media space, home gym, office, or additional guest accommodations. Completing the estate is a cedar shake roof, lush zoysia lawn, and a lake-fed irrigation system that helps maintain the beautifully manicured grounds with efficiency and ease.
