3114 Lake Ranch Drive

Welcome to your Lake Lanier retreat....where the setting is serene, the water is close, and the lifestyle feels effortless. Nestled along a quiet, deep-water cove, this home enjoys a natural advantage many buyers seek yet rarely find: calm, usable water that's ideal for everything from kayaking to smooth morning runs for seasoned skiers and wakeboarders. The cove's depth has proven remarkably consistent over time, maintaining excellent boat access even during drier seasons. This location is truly special for those who value lake convenience without the upkeep of a private dock. Inside, natural light floods the open-concept main level with seasonal views from the kitchen, and living areas. The kitchen features a spacious island, breakfast bar, and plenty of cabinet space. Two separate living areas mean everyone gets their own space to relax. With two private primary suites, each with a walk-in tiled shower... comfort and privacy are front and center. The split bedroom plan makes hosting guests a breeze, and a central laundry room with cabinetry keeps daily life organized. Downstairs, the full daylight basement (nearly 1,900 sq. ft.) is a blank canvas - already stubbed for a bath, featuring a wood-burning stove, and ready to transform into anything from a recreation haven to additional guest space. Outside, soak up lake breezes on the two-story decks or unwind in the hot tub after a day on the water. A spacious 20x40 detached garage/workshop with bath stub is perfect for boat storage, weekend projects, or even extra living space. Located minutes from Gainesville Marina, Don Carter State Park, and the heart of Gainesville's shops, dining, and entertainment, this home offers no HOA, no rental restrictions, and optional $100/year shared dock access...giving you Lake Lanier living without the maintenance. Whether you're seeking a year-round home, weekend getaway, or income-producing rental, this property delivers the ultimate "Lake Life" experience.
