New construction on Lake Lanier in the gated Lyonesse Estates community, this single-level ranch sits on a level, grass-to-shore lot with 112 feet of water frontage and unobstructed lake views, where a three-sided vanishing-edge saltwater pool dissolves straight into the water. Built over a fully finished walk-out terrace level, the main floor lives entirely on one level, and a gentle walk-out grade carries you from lawn to shoreline, with a covered boat slip waiting at the community dock and party deck. Inside, 10-foot ceilings, 8-foot shaker doors, and a two-story foyer open to a 16-foot vaulted, beamed great room and kitchen designed by Cotton & Steel Design. The kitchen is a working showpiece: a Wolf 60-inch six-burner gas range with double griddle and wok grate, a Sub-Zero 36-inch panel-front refrigerator with 36-inch freezer columns, a Cove dishwasher, a Miele VitroLine built-in coffee system, a Scotsman nugget ice maker, custom KBDG cabinetry, Azzura Crystal Quartzite counters, a three-sided island, and a full scullery behind it. The primary suite is on the main and faces the water, with a sitting room and office anchored by a gas fireplace, a dressing room with its own island, a three-head walk-in shower with Brizo Invari fixtures and Mr. Steam, a Kohler claw-foot tub, a smart toilet, and a hidden-door safe room. The main level also holds a stone gas-fireplace great room, an en suite secondary bedroom, a mud room, a laundry, a powder room, and a dedicated dog wash and dog run, with a six-car garage handling the rest. Step out to a covered lake-view deck and outdoor kitchen built for entertaining, with a gas fireplace, an Artisan 42-inch built-in grill, an Alfresco two-burner cooking unit and griddle, a Falmac vent hood, and cable railings framing the view. Beyond the vanishing-edge pool, a 12-by-8 raised spillover spa seats twelve, with Jandy gas heat, iAquaLink WiFi control, color-change LED lighting, corner fire bowls, in-floor pop-up cleaning, and a poolside rinse shower. The finished terrace level is a second home of its own: a great room with a custom bar, beverage and wine coolers, a Scotsman ice maker, a gym and game room, a sauna, a media room and home theater, an office, two more secondary bedrooms (one a future bunk room), two full baths, a pool half-bath, stackable laundry, a storm shelter, and closets already framed for a future elevator. Three-sided brick with a stone rear facade, a CertainTeed Landmark roof, Qolsys smart-home control across 100-plus devices, Polk deck and patio speakers, and dual Rheem water heaters round out the build, backed by a one-year 2-10 Buyer Home Warranty. On Lake Lanier and minutes from Port Royale Marina, the setting sits between the city life of Atlanta, with its dining, shopping, entertainment, and travel through Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, and the North Georgia mountains and wineries, with quick GA-400 access putting all of it within reach, plus strong county recreation and parks programs, lakes, and trails for the day-to-day. This is lake living on one level, brand new, with the water at your back door.
