8970 Fields Way

Price improved by $160,000. With the owners relocating, this estate presents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most distinctive lakefront properties on Lake Lanier. This approximately 7,800 square foot residence rests on a beautifully landscaped, tiered lot that descends to a level lawn at the water’s edge, ending at a private deep-water dock that holds water year-round. Direct, walkable lake access from a flat lakefront yard is something rarely seen on Lake Lanier, and the unobstructed view captured from nearly every room is just as uncommon. The property carries no HOA. Custom wrought iron railings and staircases lead gracefully down the terraced grounds to the custom-built dock, which includes a hydro boat lift, jet ski platform, and multi-level entertaining decks. A Michael Phelps Signature hot tub, an outdoor storage shed, and ample space for a future pool round out the outdoor experience. Inside, the main level primary suite serves as a quiet retreat with panoramic water views, private back deck access, a marble bath with double head shower and oversized jacuzzi tub, and a spacious walk-in closet. Real hardwood floors run throughout the main level, anchored by an oversized stacked stone fireplace. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with custom cabinetry, pullout drawers, a wet bar, and color adjustable LED lighting that carries into the living area for a fully customizable ambiance. The main floor is completed by a dedicated home office, a formal dining room, an expansive laundry room with sink, toilet, and laundry chute, and a full-width back deck with covered and open-air spaces. The finished terrace level is built for relaxation and gathering, featuring a full gym, a private sauna, a painted brick fireplace, an expansive bar, and a game room outfitted with pool table, shuffleboard, and air hockey. A dedicated home theater with projector and A/V closet, two full baths, and a utility room with dual tankless water heaters complete the lower level. The home offers four bedrooms, four full baths, two half baths, a 2.5 car garage, two full attic storage spaces, and a stained and stamped driveway. Its setting between Gainesville, Cumming, and Dawsonville provides quick GA 400 access while placing the home within the highly regarded Forsyth County Schools district. The combination of unobstructed views, level lakefront lawn, year-round deep water dock, and absence of an HOA is genuinely rare on Lake Lanier, and with the sellers relocating, it is now offered at an improved price of $3,790,000.
