Tucked deep into the woods on a winding private drive, this Lake Lanier retreat offers the kind of peace and privacy that's increasingly rare to find. With year-round lake views from most rooms, this spacious updated home is designed for those who want to live surrounded by nature without sacrificing comfort or convenience. The floorplan is flexible and expansive, featuring two primary suite options, an upstairs bonus room with a half bath, and generously sized bedrooms throughout. The main-level bath has been beautifully updated with designer finishes, including dolomite marble. You'll also find rich maple hardwood floors underfoot, elevating the home's warmth and character. A large walk-in pantry offers space for a second refrigerator or freezer and includes a built-in workbench area. Storage is abundant-with spacious closets, epic attic areas, an additional storage building, and under-deck plus encapsulated crawlspace access that goes beyond expectations. Impressive recent upgrades make this home exceptionally low-maintenance and move-in ready, including a new roof, HVAC systems, water heaters, gutters, energy-efficient windows, and freshly painted interiors. Outdoors, enjoy a fully fenced backyard, landscaped front entry, and wide open spaces with room to park an RV, boat trailer, and multiple vehicles with ease. Lounge on the oversized back deck and soak in the quiet, wooded views that stretch to the water's edge. The accessible path around the home leads straight to the shoreline-perfect for launching kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards (no dock). The woodland property is surrounded by deer, wild turkeys, birdsong-and even includes a charming chicken coop for those seeking a touch of homestead living. Whether you're relaxing in solitude or hosting a crowd, you'll find plenty of space, storage, and serenity here. The in-home sauna is negotiable.
