Rare opportunity to create a custom estate on approximately 2.05 wooded acres in established Sandstone Estates. Located at 5221 Sandy Shores Court in Lithonia, this expansive homesite offers approximately 89,298 square feet of land surrounded by substantial custom residences, mature trees and a picturesque lake setting. With approximately 206 feet along the street and roughly 440 feet of depth, the property offers the space and flexibility to envision a substantial custom residence set back from the road while preserving mature trees for additional privacy. The parcel is zoned R-100, providing an ideal setting for a single-family estate home designed to complement the scale and character of the surrounding community. One of the property's most distinctive features is its relationship to Kelly Lake, with the rear portion of the property extending toward the lake and creating the potential for a beautiful waterfront-oriented homesite. Imagine designing your future residence around the natural setting with expansive windows, outdoor living areas, a pool, terraces and views toward the water. The seller has also had a soil test previously performed, with information available for review. Whether your vision includes a private wooded retreat, grand custom residence or an estate designed around indoor-outdoor living, this property provides something increasingly difficult to find in Metro Atlanta: acreage, privacy, an established neighborhood and a lake setting all on one homesite. Bring your architect. Bring your builder. And bring your vision to 5221 Sandy Shores Court.
