Rare opportunity to own two separate half-acre Lake Lanier lots being sold together in desirable Forsyth County. This unique offering includes an all-brick Lake Lanier cottage on one lot and a completely vacant second lot-each with its own dock permit and coveted mowing permit. The cottage features three bedrooms, one full bathroom, an open family room and dining area, a masonry fireplace, and a spacious screened porch overlooking the lake. The home also includes an unfinished basement offering storage or future expansion potential, plus a detached storage/shop building. The property enjoys beautiful lake views, gentle topography, and consistently deep, calm water-ideal for relaxing and enjoying all that Lake Lanier has to offer. The home is ready to enjoy now while also presenting an excellent opportunity for renovation and personalization. The second, vacant lot includes its own well, dock permit, and mowing permit, creating exceptional flexibility for future use, a custom lake home, guest retreat, or family compound, subject to applicable approvals and restrictions. Dock permits are currently in the process of renewal/reissue, with possible upgrades. Existing docks are unusable and are not to be walked on. Both properties are being sold together in "as-is" condition. Forsyth County public water is already at the house. Offered as two parcels purchased together: Lakefront lot with cottage: $640,000 Vacant lakefront lot: $349,000
