Lake Lanier living takes on a whole new meaning when you have room to spread out-on the water and on the land. Set on approximately 2.46 acres across two platted lots in sought-after Pointe South, this distinctive lake property pairs a stately four-sided brick home with nearly 160 feet of shoreline, a private cove, an additional buildable lot, and exceptional possibilities for the future. The lakefront lot is currently improved with a single-slip placeholder dock, while the property is permitted for an upgraded 32' x 32' double-slip dock. A gentle golf-cart-friendly path makes getting to the water easy, and recent shoreline improvements include new rip-rap and newly constructed dock steps to the ramp. Whether your days are spent boating, entertaining at the dock, cruising to dinner, or simply enjoying the quiet of the cove, this is a setting designed for the Lake Lanier lifestyle.

Some lake homes have a view. Others have water. A few have an easy walk to the dock. 2585 Bridgewater Circle brings all of it together - deep open water, a gentle walk to a private dock, beautiful lake views, and a completely reimagined home designed around the Lake Lanier lifestyle. With nearly 4,300 square feet, this residence has been transformed from top to bottom with a focus on creating a home that feels custom, current and intentionally connected to the water. Walls were opened, sightlines improved, major spaces redesigned and virtually every finish reconsidered. The result is not simply a renovated lake house - it is an entirely new living experience. At the center of the home is a dramatic designer kitchen created for both entertaining and everyday living, featuring an oversized statement island, warm custom cabinetry, expansive quartz surfaces and an open connection to the main living areas. Large lake-facing doors and windows draw your eye toward the water and create a seamless transition to the extraordinary covered outdoor living space. The floor plan offers something increasingly difficult to find: two true primary suites. The main-level primary suite provides the convenience of one-level living and a beautifully redesigned spa-inspired bath, while the upstairs primary suite creates a second private retreat. Laundry rooms on both the main and upper levels add another thoughtful layer of everyday functionality. Additional upstairs bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, creating an ideal layout for family and visitors without sacrificing privacy. The finished terrace level expands the home's entertaining and recreation space, providing tremendous flexibility. Throughout all three levels, thoughtful architectural details, custom built-ins, sophisticated lighting, new finishes and major system improvements create the feel of a modern luxury residence rather than a traditional remodel. Outside is where this property becomes truly special. The expansive covered rear living area functions almost as another room of the house - a place for morning coffee, long dinners, football Saturdays and evenings overlooking the lake. Mature hardwoods frame the setting and provide a sense of privacy while preserving beautiful views of the water. From the house, it's a gentle, easy walk to the private dock - no intimidating stairs or steep climb back home after a day on the lake. And then there is the water itself: deep, open Lake Lanier water, offering the kind of waterfront experience lake buyers understand is increasingly difficult to replicate. For buyers who know Lake Lanier, the combination is what matters: Deep water. Gentle dock access. Beautiful lake views. Exceptional design. 2585 Bridgewater Circle delivers all four - wrapped into one completely reimagined Lake Lanier home.

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.
