Looking for a Mid-Lake Lanier waterfront family estate of a Main home plus a Lakeside Cottage and Pavilion to enjoy for generations to come?

One of the home’s most impressive spaces is the expansive screened porch overlooking the property and lake, offering generous sitting and dining areas that create a true outdoor living room for year-round enjoyment. During the fall and winter months, the surrounding hardwood canopy opens to reveal more expansive panoramic lake views, while spring and summer provide a lush, private waterfront backdrop. The main-level primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with spa-inspired bath, while the unfinished terrace level already includes HVAC, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure ready for future expansion, recreation space, guest quarters, in-law accommodations, or a future second kitchen. Adding even greater flexibility and value, the fully renovated grandfathered lakeside cottage with gorgeous lake views offers approximately 930 square feet with one bedroom, one bathroom, full kitchen, laundry, wraparound deck, and private dock access. Positioned remarkably close to the shoreline, the cottage creates an authentic old-Lake Lanier experience rarely available today and is ideal for guests, extended family, caretaker quarters, executive retreat use, or potential income opportunities. At the shoreline, the grandfathered boathouse pavilion creates an unforgettable setting for entertaining with covered lounge and dining areas, grilling and prep space, dry storage for lake toys, a rec room with half bath, and effortless access to all three docks for boating, fishing, paddleboarding, swimming, and memorable sunset gatherings. Opportunities offering this level of shoreline, dock capacity, grandfathered improvements, and future potential have become increasingly rare on Lake Lanier.
