Forsyth Homes with Lake Community Features

Welcome to exceptional **deep-water Lake Lanier living** in Chestatee Landing. Privately positioned on a quiet cul-de-sac, this meticulously maintained Craftsman home pairs a beautiful lake setting with a fabulous floor plan, extensive outdoor living, thoughtful hardscape and landscaping, and a standout **two-level private dock**. The lake experience is the true centerpiece. A beautifully designed stone terrace with fire pit overlooks the water, creating an incredible gathering space beneath the trees, while stairs lead directly to the private dock. The dock features a covered lower level for boating and water access plus a spectacular upper sun deck with **sleek glass railings designed to preserve the sweeping lake views**-an ideal setting for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying sunsets over the water. Thoughtful lake access sets this property apart. A **third attached garage accesible on the terrace level is designed for golf-cart use**, connecting to a paved path that runs along the right side of the home and continues to the lakeside landing, fire pit terrace, and dock access. This creates an exceptionally convenient route for transporting lake gear, coolers, guests, and supplies from the home directly toward the water. Another significant advantage is the property's **low U.S. Army Corps of Engineers line**, allowing much of the backyard to remain within the homeowner's property and offering greater flexibility for landscaping, improvements, and selective tree removal, subject to applicable requirements. Combined with the extensive hardscape, mature landscaping, and direct lake access, the outdoor setting has been exceptionally well planned for both beauty and function. Inside, the home is equally impressive. The open, inviting floor plan features rich hardwoods, substantial millwork, custom cabinetry, and exceptional craftsmanship throughout. The well-appointed kitchen includes a **Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking appliances**, granite countertops, a striking copper farmhouse sink, abundant custom cabinetry, and a cleverly concealed walk-in pantry providing outstanding storage. The main-level primary suite offers privacy and convenience, while generous living spaces flow easily for everyday living and entertaining. The finished terrace level is a destination of its own, featuring handsome wood beams, a stone fireplace, expansive gathering space, a dedicated billiard area, multiple walkouts to the outdoors, and a beautifully designed full bar-perfect for game days, lake weekends, and hosting family and friends. Covered porches, mature landscaping, extensive stonework, and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces create a seamless connection from the home to the lake. This is a rare opportunity to own a **meticulously cared-for Lake Lanier property with deep-water access, exceptional golf-cart access to the waterfront, a high-end two-level dock, expansive usable backyard space, and outstanding indoor and outdoor entertaining areas** in the highly regarded Forsyth County School District.
