7+ ACRE GATED ESTATE | LAKE LANIER | PRIVATE DOCK | POOL | 8-CAR GARAGE | NO HOA. Some properties are simply landmarks, and this is one of them. Perched behind a gated circular drive on more than seven private acres along the south shore of Lake Lanier, this Mediterranean-inspired estate—with its distinctive clay tile roof and elevated position among the trees - stands as a landmark in one of the most sought-after areas on the lake. Freshly updated exterior, including professional landscaping, and a grand circular drive complete the arrival, setting the tone for what lies beyond the gate. The location is as practical as it is coveted: Forsyth County, minutes from GA-400, and directly across the water from Margaritaville Resort, putting you at the heart of Lake Lanier's most desirable corridor. Pass through the gate, and the outside world quietly disappears. The grounds tell the story of a property built for living well. A private path leads down through mature hardwoods to a refurbished dock with a party deck, deep-water slip, and triple jet ski port — south lake access at its finest. Back on land, extensive custom stonework frames a saltwater pool with a new StoneScapes pebble finish, six-person spa, fire pit, and a fully equipped covered outdoor kitchen. There's room to add a sports court, and two four-car garages offer serious space for a collector's fleet. The acreage — wooded, private, and unrestricted — is equally suited for hunting, hosting, or simply escaping city life behind a gate and surrounded by trees. Inside, the home delivers the same caliber of experience as the grounds surrounding it. A two-story great room anchors the main level, flowing into a formal dining area and a chef's kitchen with Viking appliances and custom cabinetry. The lake-view primary suite offers a private deck, sitting/dressing room, and a spa bath with steam shower and Jacuzzi tub. Three spacious secondary bedrooms (two ensuite), a semi-private in-law suite with separate access, and a fully finished terrace level — complete with home theater, fitness room, game room with wet bar, and additional guest space — ensure every need is met without compromise. Gated. Private. No HOA. Eight garage bays. A private deep-water dock. Seven-plus acres on south Lake Lanier with one of the most convenient drives to and from Atlanta — this is the kind of estate that defines the lake lifestyle and rarely becomes available.
