LAKE LANIER

ake Lanier is known for many memorable moments, and this home, reminiscent of a property in the Hampton’s on Long Island, is a beauty to never be forgotten. Built in 1995, the home sits on 18 acres nestled right up to North Georgia’s own Lake Lanier. The exterior gives you a Hampton style feel as soon as you come down the long private drive—with the soft, grey tones found in the paint color to the stone work surrounding the entry to the rustic shingles, all framed with bright, white trim. The location provides the ultimate convenience—you do not have to travel farther than North Georgia to enjoy the luxurious feel, while still enjoying lake-living at its best.

The main house has four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, perfectly decorated with no nook or opportunity missed. The guest quarters sits above the detached garage area, housing two bedrooms, one bathroom and a full kitchen. This large property sits on an impressive lake front lot with a double slip dock allowing easy access for boats and the perfect place to take a dip in the lake. The owner purchased the property in 2008 and splits its use between sharing it with elite vacation goers who are looking for a luxurious stay, while being steps away from everything the lake has to offer. The property can accommodate up to 20 overnight guests, allowing it to be used for events such as weddings or dinner parties. HOME Living
