Lake Lanier Waterfront Ranch with Deepwater Boat Slip. Gated Hickory Lakeside. Cumming, GA 30041. Lake Lanier living with a deepwater boat slip, a new heated saltwater pool, and a main-level primary suite, all behind the gates of Hickory Lakeside on the lake's sought-after south end. This custom 2020 ranch sits on a level, fully fenced .85-acre lot in one of Forsyth County's most private lake communities, with a dedicated covered slip and deepwater access just a short walk or golf cart ride away. Step through 8-foot knotty alder doors into an open, single-level floor plan built for easy living and real entertaining. The chef's kitchen anchors the home: Sub-Zero refrigerator, JennAir 6-burner range with double ovens, quartz counters, walk-in pantry, and a butler's pantry, all flowing into a great room under 10-foot ceilings and rich hardwoods. The main-level owner's suite is a private retreat with a spa bath, freestanding soaking tub, oversized frameless shower, and a custom closet that connects straight to the laundry. With the owner's suite and additional bedrooms all on the main level, the home lives comfortably on one floor, while a private upper-level suite with its own full bath adds flexible space for guests, an in-law, or a home office. Outside is where this one separates itself. A brand-new heated saltwater pool with a tanning ledge anchors a resort-style backyard, tied together by a covered outdoor pavilion built for entertaining: Blaze grill, refrigeration drawers, a large-screen TV, and a bar with seating for 8 to 10. From there, the space flows to a built-in firepit lounge and a screened porch with a fireplace and retractable pocket doors, giving you true year-round indoor-outdoor living. And with a full .85-acre lot, there's still plenty of open, level yard left for a game of catch, cornhole, or tag. The walk-out terrace level is a daylight basement, already bath-stubbed and roughed in with exterior entry, offering roughly 2,950 additional square feet to finish as your own. Built-in shelving already delivers storage galore, and the space is set up and ready for a workshop, with room to spare for a media room, gym, in-law suite, or second kitchen. This home only gets better from here. A 3-car garage, community boating, clubhouse, pool, pickleball, and tennis round out the lifestyle. Zoned for Chattahoochee Elementary, Little Mill Middle, and East Forsyth High, and minutes from GA-400, Cumming City Center, and the coming Crossing at Coal Mountain. Deepwater boat slip. New pool. One-level living. Lake Lanier. Come see it.
