This grand lakefront estate is located on perhaps the most beautiful point lot on Lake Lanier. With over 400 feet of shoreline, this home is half surrounded by water. Residents can enjoy long-water views from almost every room in the house. But in contrast to other properties with million-dollar views, this home has a flat, very short, easy walk to the water. It even has its own beach. The 32x32 dock permit is the largest currently allowed on Lanier, and it sits virtually in open water; so, it's absolutely drought-proof. The builder left room for a pool overlooking the lake. There is also a relaxing, natural-looking waterfall that trickles pleasantly into a lovely koi pond. Also on the grounds, you'll find a fabulous multi-level fire pit overlooking the lake. As you walk through the custom mahogany doors, you immediately see that this is no ordinary house. To the left is a two-stop elevator and in front of you is a magnificent family room with two-story palladium windows filled with long-water views of the lake. There are two spacious masters in this large, impressive home. One is on the main floor, and one is on the terrace level. Both have fabulous views, fireplaces and well-appointed luxury bathrooms. The large professional grade gourmet kitchen has every feature you'd expect in a luxury home including work island, walk-in pantry, extraordinary amounts of storage, custom cabinetry, granite counters and so much more. The keeping room offers a huge dining and sitting area, all showcasing the phenomenal lake views. There is a lovely office that could be used for many other purposes, and a must-have mud room. Every room in the home is built to accommodate guests comfortably. Each bedroom is oversized with its own private bathroom, and most have their own fireplaces. If you like to entertain overnight guests, this home was made for you. Though once they see the view, they might not leave. On the terrace level, you'll find the second en-suite master. In addition to the other upscale features, you'll appreciate the fireplace and view of the koi pond. There is also a nursery on that floor, a distinctive media room and a huge family room with cozy fireplace. This property also offers exceptional outdoor spaces including a massive deck overlooking the lake, a covered patio and a lofted honeymoon cottage with lake view. For folks with kids or grandkids, the honeymoon cottage would make an adorable playhouse.
