Thoughtfully designed to embrace nature, natural light, and peaceful lake living, this one-of-a-kind property offers deep water, exceptional privacy, and expansive indoor-outdoor living rarely found on the lake. The property features two private docks, including a powered 32x32 main dock and a 20x18 secondary dock, providing exceptional flexibility for boating, swimming, and lakeside enjoyment. Wildlife sightings are a daily experience, with eagles, deer, ducks, woodpeckers, hummingbirds, and golden finches frequently seen throughout the cove. The home showcases classic cedar siding and decking, complemented by a freshly painted interior and exterior (2024), two new HVAC systems (2026), spray foam insulation, and a clean septic inspection. Inside, wood flooring runs throughout, while soaring 25-foot vaulted ceilings with hardwood ceiling detail define the main living area and primary suite. Walls of windows frame serene lake views and flood the home with natural light. Designed for entertaining at scale, the residence includes three full kitchens, one kitchenette, and a dedicated outdoor kitchen. The main kitchen features granite countertops and a walk-in pantry. A hardwired Sonos sound system, security cameras, and a dedicated theater room with projector and surround sound enhance both comfort and functionality. The primary suite is a private retreat, offering its own balcony, a spa-style bath with soaking tub, custom vanities, oversized walk-in closets, and a private laundry. Additional living spaces include multiple guest bedrooms, a bonus room, and a third-level efficiency-style in-law suite with a separate entry. The finished basement adds a full bath and kitchenette, ideal for guests or extended living. Outdoor living is truly exceptional, centered around a heated saltwater pool and spa with swim-up bar, an outdoor kitchen equipped with a Bull pizza oven, grill, refrigerator, and Green Egg smoker, along with two fire features and a lakeside fire pit. An approximately 1,500-square-foot garage provides ample space for multiple vehicles, boats, RVs or recreational storage. Completing the property is a separate 1,000-square-foot luxury cabin, featuring panoramic lake views, vaulted wood-beam ceilings, a gourmet kitchen, and a zero-entry multi-jet shower—ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or a private retreat. With 6,118 square feet of living space, five full bathrooms, one half bath, and no HOA, this Serenity Cove estate delivers a rare combination of privacy, scale, and resort-level Lake Lanier living.
