for $825,000 with 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths. This 1,501 square foot home was built in 1968 on a lot size of 0.52.
Tucked away in one of the most desirable areas of Lake Lanier's south end, this charming 1968 lake cottage offers the perfect blend of character, lake views, and true waterfront living. Surrounded by mature trees and overlooking deep water, the home captures the relaxed charm that made Lake Lanier famous. Inside, warm wood tones and natural light create an inviting atmosphere throughout the open main living area. The kitchen flows easily into the living space and dining area, while large sliding glass doors lead out to a wraparound porch where you can enjoy peaceful lake views and fresh mountain air. The main level features a comfortable bedroom and full bath, along with a fun sleeping loft above that adds additional sleeping space and storage - perfect for hosting family and friends on weekends at the lake. The walk-out terrace level brings you even closer to the water and includes an updated bedroom and full bath, offering guests privacy and easy access to the shoreline. Just a short stroll from the home sits the covered double-slip dock with an active permit, located in deep water, making boating and lake days effortless year-round. Adding even more flexibility to the property is a separate Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). The structure includes a studio space on the lower level and a full apartment above with kitchen and bath, along with a carport. The apartment is currently occupied by a long-term tenant who would love to stay, providing an immediate income opportunity for the next owner. Located in a highly sought-after area of the south end of Lake Lanier, the property offers convenient access to Lanier Islands, Margaritaville, and Legacy Golf Course, along with easy commuting to Atlanta. With no HOA, possible short-term rental potential, and the timeless appeal of a classic lake cottage, this property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy lake life, generate income, or create the ultimate family retreat. Whether you're looking for a weekend escape or a full-time waterfront lifestyle, this special Lake Lanier cottage captures everything people love about life on the lake.
