Lake Laceola – A Custom-Crafted Lakeside Retreat by Sullivan & Forbes Nestled in the rolling foothills of the North Georgia mountains, Lake Laceola is a breathtaking custom retreat where mountain serenity meets lakeside luxury. Designed and built by the esteemed Sullivan & Forbes, this one-of-a-kind estate sits gracefully along the pristine shores of Lake Laceola—just moments from the charming square of downtown Cleveland, Georgia. Inspired by the alpine lodges of Colorado’s Lake Tahoe, the architecture of both the main residence and the matching boathouse captures the rugged elegance of the American West. Lushly landscaped with flowering wisteria and mountain laurel, the grounds offer a vivid natural canvas that changes beautifully with the seasons. The spring-fed waters of the private, no-wake lake glisten under the Georgia sun, where pontoon boats glide peacefully and time seems to move at nature’s pace. This is a place where stillness is sacred and each breeze carries the quiet hum of tranquility. Step inside to a timber-framed haven of sophistication and warmth. The interior exudes artisanal character, with exposed beams, hand-hewn woodwork, stone fireplaces, vintage brick accents, and thoughtful finishes that reflect the builder’s dedication to detail. The open-concept floor plan flows effortlessly, connecting a spacious great room with a gourmet kitchen and inviting dining area —designed for both everyday living and unforgettable gatherings. The kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring a premium appliance suite, custom island, and walk-in pantry—perfect for both casual mornings and culinary celebrations. This space radiates comfort and charm, where every meal is shared in warmth and good company. The owner’s suite is a serene sanctuary, awash in natural textures and calming tones. Its spa-inspired bath includes dual vanities with antique bronze finishes, a generous walk-in shower, and a layout designed for daily indulgence. Additional bedrooms echo the home’s cohesive style, providing peaceful retreats for family and guests alike. Blending indoor and outdoor living, the two-story rear deck frames the home’s idyllic lakefront setting and offers the perfect perch for sunrise coffee or twilight wine. Every vantage point draws the outdoors in, creating a seamless harmony with nature. The boathouse is a standout feature, echoing the main home’s architectural language and offering its own living area, kitchenette, full bath, and gathering space right at the water’s edge. Whether hosting lake days or enjoying quiet solitude, this space is both functional and beautifully crafted. Above the two-car garage, a finished loft includes a stylish bar, additional bath, and generous room for entertainment, hobbies, or a private office. 147 Lake Watch Point is more than a home—it’s a destination designed for those who crave nature, beauty, and the refined craftsmanship only Sullivan & Forbes can deliver. Welcome to Lake Laceola—where mountain air, custom luxury, and lakeside living come together in perfect balance.
