Some properties are listed. This one is unveiled. Behind private electronic gates, 3.76 fully fenced acres of manicured lawn roll gently to the deep waters of Lake Lanier - and to a lakefront lifestyle that cannot be replicated: open big-water views, a permitted single-slip dock with sundeck and swim platform, and a brand-new resort pool complex - infinity-edge design, sculpted fountains, a flaming fire bowl, sun-splashed tanning deck, and private spa - completed just this summer. The residence is a 2024 architect-designed European masterwork - 4,762 square feet of true single-level living beneath a skyline of 10-to-16-foot ceilings: modified vaults, double treys, tongue-and-groove and coffered wood. Underfoot, polished concrete floors shimmer with hand-applied gold fleck; overhead, cascading custom light installations spill from the foyer, living, and dining rooms. Authentic Versace designer tile, interior French doors, bespoke millwork, and smart lighting complete a level of finish rarely attempted, let alone achieved. The kitchen commands attention: a sculptural faceted island, Sub-Zero refrigeration, double ovens, pot filler, custom cabinetry, granite and quartz surfaces, and a full butler's service with wet bar for effortless entertaining. The living room's water-vapor fireplace dances behind glass - one of two, the second warming the primary suite. And what a suite it is: a private wing with its own lake-view sitting room, two custom-fitted dressing closets, and a bath conceived as a personal spa - four sinks across two floating double vanities, a sculptural free-standing soaking tub, and a double-headed shower wrapped floor to ceiling in designer tile. Four additional bedrooms, three further designer baths and a jewel-box powder room, a laundry suite with dog-wash station, and a fitted mud room complete the plan. Security and self-sufficiency are absolute: ballistic-rated exterior doors, windows, and garage doors; dual water heaters; dual electric panels; full irrigation; and aluminum perimeter fencing with electronic gated entry. More than 1,100 square feet of covered porches with wood-inlaid ceilings frame the water - and now overlook poolside evenings lit by firelight. A four-car garage with custom glass doors - plus parking for six more - welcomes a collection. No HOA. New construction of this caliber, on acreage, on deep water, with dock in hand, arrives on Lake Lanier perhaps once in a generation. Private tours by appointment.
