Your South Lake Lanier Escape - Where Every Weekend Feels Like Vacation Some places just feel right the moment you walk in. That's the feeling here on South Lake Lanier. Whether you're looking for a weekend escape, second home, or full-time spot on the water, this property makes it easy to gather with the people who matter most. What started as a simple cottage has been thoughtfully transformed and enlarged over the past 14 years into a comfortable craftsman-style home with just the right mix of charm and function. Every improvement was made with purpose, to enjoy a low-maintenance lake life with family and friends. The 2022 renovation included low-maintenance materials like Trex decking, cement siding, a 25-year architectural roof, upgraded gutters, guards and downspouts just to name a few....and only 3 years old!!!! Inside, you'll find expansive hardwood floors, shiplapped and beamed ceilings and 2 bright family rooms that brings the outside in. The kitchen is well-laid out and inviting, with a large island perfect for meal prep and conversation. The primary suite is a peaceful retreat with a modern but cozy electric fireplace/entertainment center and a 5- piece ensuite bathroom, with jetted tub. The walk-out terrace level was built for fun, complete with a theater area, game space, kitchenette, and a custom bunk room made for Eno hammocks (if you've got kids or grandkids, they'll love it). The basement floor is stained and scored concrete that resembles tile, emphasizing further the low maintenance aspect of this home. It's a place for sleepovers, movie nights, and memories. Outside, there's over 1500 sq ft of outdoor relaxation and entertainment space, whether it's on the Trex back deck and front porch, the screened porch, the exceptionally large breezeway or around the fire pit. The designated grill and smoker patio is ideal for the outdoor chef. A drivable path takes you to a quiet cove and deep-water single-slip dock with party deck - perfect for boating, kayaking, fishing, swimming, or floating the day away. If gardening is your hobby, you'll find a fully equipped greenhouse and plenty of room for a garden. If art or woodworking is your passion, there's an outbuilding with a quarter bath, power and heat. If you're a car enthusiast, the oversized three-car garage will easily fit your full-size pick-up and could be outfitted with a lift, due to the extra-high ceiling. There's plenty of flat property to add a pool near the outbuilding, which could be converted into the ideal cabana. Located in Forsyth County, you're close to 400, Cumming City Center, shopping, dining, and Six Mile Creek Park - and just a quick boat ride to Port Royale and Pelican Pete's. If you're looking for a lake home that feels personal - not just another property - for under $1 million, let's set up a private tour. This one might be the perfect fit. Schedule a Private Showing
