A rare Lake Lanier compound where refined living meets relaxed lake life - with two dock permits! Privately gated on nearly 16 wooded acres with over 350 feet of shoreline, this secluded estate offers an unparalleled blend of natural beauty and quiet luxury. The home spans over 5,000 square feet and balances rustic elegance with modern comfort. Soaring beamed ceilings, a two-story stone fireplace, custom built-ins, and walls of glass frame the surrounding landscape and flood the space with natural light. A gourmet kitchen anchors the main level with granite countertops, high-end appliances, an oversized island, and a walk-in pantry with wine storage. A custom "lake blue" vent hood and coordinating bar add subtle sophistication. The flexible breakfast nook is ideal for quiet mornings or creative work. The primary suite features double tray ceilings, two custom closets, and a spa-inspired bath with terrazzo finishes, a soaking tub, and a dual-head rain shower with body sprays. Upstairs, a private guest suite includes its own full kitchen, living area, bedroom, and bath--ideal for multigenerational living or a peaceful home office. The terrace level offers three additional bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, a second kitchen, and a media/game room with walkout access to the covered patio and pool. Outside, a free-form gunite pool with tanning ledge, fountains, and a spillover spa is surrounded by covered porches and patios. An Amish-crafted pavilion with cedar beams, paver floors, stone fireplace, outdoor kitchen, and bar invites effortless entertaining. Nearby, a firepit lounge under cafe lights adds warmth and ambiance. Two private docks--a 32x32 double-decker party dock and a single-slip dock--offer direct access to a quiet cove perfect for paddleboarding, swimming, or sunset cruises. A large barn provides RV and boat storage, with potential for a guest suite, studio, or workshop. Minutes from I-985, Downtown Gainesville, and Flowery Branch, yet worlds away from the bustle, this is more than a home--it's a legacy on Lake Lanier. This residence is also offered on just 4.33 acres, with the double-slip dock--listing #7587577 for more information.
