Amazing water views all year long, a private deep water dock, 1.61 acres with 166 feet of shoreline, and no HOA. This luxury custom built log cabin is the kind of Lake Lanier property buyers wait for. Positioned in the quieter north end of the lake, this retreat offers unobstructed lake views from nearly every room, a rare find thanks to the minimal tree line, along with water access you can enjoy in every season. Whether you are looking for a full time lake home, a weekend escape, or an income producing property, this one checks the boxes with short term rental potential and no rental restrictions. Inside, the layout is ideal for both everyday living and hosting, with two primary suites on the main level creating a great setup for multi generational living or guests, along with open living spaces, vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and hardwood floors that deliver a true lake house feel. The chef’s kitchen features Viking appliances, custom cabinetry, and a hammered copper farmhouse sink, all positioned to take in the views. A loft and finished basement provide flexible space for entertaining, additional sleeping areas, or a game room. Outdoor living shines with covered porches and expansive decks designed to maximize the setting, along with a newly built two story garage with plenty of room for boats, jet skis, golf carts, and all your lake toys, plus an easy path down to the dock. Priced below appraisal, this home offers immediate equity and a rare opportunity to own a standout Lake Lanier property with long term flexibility. Schedule your private tour today and come see what true lake living looks like.
