Experience lake living at its best with this waterfront home in the Turtle Cove community on Jackson Lake, offering direct walk-up access to the water and a private dock with two jet ski docks.
Situated on a beautifully terraced lot, this property provides an ideal combination of relaxation, recreation, and incredible lake views. A landscaped walkway leads through the backyard terraces down to the water, while a paved golf cart path provides easy access from the home to the lake and dock.
Inside, the main level features an open concept kitchen and living area centered around a wood-burning fireplace and a dramatic wall of windows overlooking Jackson Lake, filling the home with natural light and showcasing the waterfront setting. French doors open onto a massive covered deck, creating the perfect space for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying peaceful lake views.
The main floor includes two bedrooms and a full bathroom, offering comfortable living space for family and guests.
The lower level provides additional flexible living space, currently configured as an open recreation area with French doors leading to a covered lakeside patio—an ideal spot for a future hot tub or outdoor lounge area. This level also includes an additional room that has been used as a bedroom along with a second full bathroom, creating great potential for a separate guest or second living area.
A detached two-car garage provides excellent storage for vehicles, a boat, or lake toys. Above the garage is a large bonus room that could easily be transformed into a loft-style bedroom, guest suite, or studio space.
Turtle Cove is one of the most popular communities on Jackson Lake, offering residents a wide range of amenities including a 9-hole golf course, clubhouse, swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts, restaurant and lounge, private lake access, boat ramps, beaches, parks, playgrounds, and community events throughout the year.
Jackson Lake is known for boating, fishing, kayaking, and year-round recreation, making this property an ideal choice for a primary residence, lake retreat, or second home.
Conveniently located approximately one hour from Atlanta via I-20, this property also presents strong potential as a short-term rental investment when not being enjoyed by the owners.
Come experience the lifestyle of waterfront living on Jackson Lake.
