A Once-in-a-Generation Opportunity on Lake Lanier. Some homes are renovated. Others are completely reimagined. Welcome to one of the most remarkable transformations ever offered on Lake Lanier—a hidden gem where neighbors become lifelong friends, children still run down to the dock for a quick dip, and homeowners often stay for decades. Originally redesigned as a personal residence, this extraordinary home has been rebuilt with a level of craftsmanship, detail, and intention rarely found in today's market. Every decision was made for the owners themselves—not for resale—creating a residence that feels both breathtakingly luxurious and deeply inviting. Privately positioned on the point, this stunning home offers two levels of thoughtfully curated living space, blending timeless architecture with modern luxury. The heart of the home is an unforgettable chef's kitchen designed for gathering. Anchored by a six-burner gas range, custom cabinetry, oversized island, stainless appliances, and exquisite quartz surfaces, the space flows effortlessly into a vaulted fireside family room with breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Lanier. Lake views from every room! Throughout the home, new finishes create a warm sophistication that photographs simply cannot capture. The Dining Room space is anchored by a 10-foot panoramic folding glass wall that completely opens the home to the outdoors, creating a seamless connection between indoor elegance and outdoor entertaining. Down the hall, spacious ensuite bedrooms provide comfort and privacy, while the primary suite serves as a true retreat with luxurious spa-inspired finishes and carefully crafted details throughout. The terrace level may become your favorite part of the home. Designed for entertaining and relaxation, it features a guest suite, beautifully appointed bath, fireplace, game room, media space, and gathering areas so welcoming you may never want to leave. Outside, enjoy expansive entertaining areas, and the serenity that comes from living on the lake with your own private covered dock. Lot is large and there is room to add a pool, and room to trailer your boat in the off season. Enjoy close proximity to the Port Royale Marina for dining at Pelican Pete's or Sunset Grille, nearby parks and trails, while still feeling tucked away in a peaceful, nature-filled setting. Then life changed. The owners' plans shifted before they could move into the home they meticulously created for themselves. That unexpected turn has created a rare opportunity for the next owner to enjoy the benefits of a truly custom renovation, not yet lived in, that is simply not a just a home, it is a one-time opportunity to own a residence that may never be duplicated.

If you've been searching for a Lake Lanier lakefront home with a year-round deep-water private dock and no HOA, your search ends here. On a lake where dock-permitted waterfront properties are genuinely hard to come by, 6265 Reives Road delivers the access and lifestyle Lake Lanier buyers are after — at a price that reflects real value in today's market. The home is a 4-bedroom, 3-bath ranch with a finished walk-out terrace level on nearly an acre along the south shore of Lake Lanier in Forsyth County - one of the most convenient and coveted stretches of the lake. Major systems have been addressed so you can focus on the lake, not a to-do list. A brand-new 2026 HVAC system pairs with a 2023 roof, open-cell spray foam insulation throughout, 2022 siding, gutters, and exterior paint, and all-new double-hung tilt-in vinyl windows. Smart home features - Honeywell thermostat, smart garage doors, door locks and doorbell, exterior lighting, and security cameras - round out the updates. Inside, the living room opens to a cathedral ceiling with shiplap accent walls and beamed ceilings that set a comfortable, relaxed tone. The eat-in kitchen features a granite island and counters, a 5-burner Frigidaire range, and a Fisher & Paykel 2-drawer dishwasher, with a separate dining room alongside. The main-level primary suite includes a fireplace and a whirlpool tub - a proper retreat after a day on the water. Custom shelving and closet organizers run throughout the home, and recessed lighting keeps things clean and bright. Downstairs, the walk-out terrace level includes a home theater with a built-in fireplace and multi-room sound system, a kitchenette with full-size refrigerator, a game and living area, a bunk area with Eno hammocks, and a storage area with utility sink - all on low-maintenance stained and scored concrete floors. The real story is the water access. The private covered single-slip dock with party deck sits in proven deep water - even at lower lake levels, you can launch and go. A drivable golf cart path connects the home straight to the dock, which has both water and electric on site. From there, you're less than a half-mile to Six Mile Creek Park (boat ramp and beach) and just minutes by boat to Holiday Marina, Port Royale, and Pelican Pete's floating restaurant. This is genuine Lake Lanier waterfront living with a private dock to show for it. Outside, the property is laid out for easy lake-life entertaining. A maintenance-free Trex deck on the rear - with 384 square feet of enclosed dry storage below with two barn doors - connects to a covered breezeway and a screened porch that's ideal for morning coffee or winding down at sunset. A fire pit patio anchors the backyard, which is flat, grassy, and has room to add a pool. A detached greenhouse with ventilation system and a separate detached workshop with plumbing and heat give you flexibility - whether you need a potting room, a pool house, or a place to store lake toys. The oversized 3-car garage (with room for a lift) keeps vehicles and gear out of the weather, and upgraded landscaping with heirloom irises adds a nice touch at the edges. Location is one of this property's strongest assets. You're less than 10 minutes from GA-400, top-rated Forsyth County schools, and everyday shopping and dining in Cumming, GA. Atlanta's Buckhead and Midtown are about 45 minutes south, while the North Georgia mountains - Dahlonega, Helen, hiking, waterfalls, and award-winning wineries - are 30 to 45 minutes north. It's a rare address that puts the lake, the city, and the mountains all within easy reach. If you're looking for an honest value in Lake Lanier lakefront real estate with real water access and a solid foundation to build on, this one is worth seeing in person.

7+ ACRE GATED ESTATE | LAKE LANIER | PRIVATE DOCK | POOL | 8-CAR GARAGE | NO HOA. Some properties are simply landmarks, and this is one of them. Perched behind a gated circular drive on more than seven private acres along the south shore of Lake Lanier, this Mediterranean-inspired estate—with its distinctive clay tile roof and elevated position among the trees - stands as a landmark in one of the most sought-after areas on the lake. Freshly updated exterior, including professional landscaping, and a grand circular drive complete the arrival, setting the tone for what lies beyond the gate. The location is as practical as it is coveted: Forsyth County, minutes from GA-400, and directly across the water from Margaritaville Resort, putting you at the heart of Lake Lanier's most desirable corridor. Pass through the gate, and the outside world quietly disappears. The grounds tell the story of a property built for living well. A private path leads down through mature hardwoods to a refurbished dock with a party deck, deep-water slip, and triple jet ski port — south lake access at its finest. Back on land, extensive custom stonework frames a saltwater pool with a new StoneScapes pebble finish, six-person spa, fire pit, and a fully equipped covered outdoor kitchen. There's room to add a sports court, and two four-car garages offer serious space for a collector's fleet. The acreage — wooded, private, and unrestricted — is equally suited for hunting, hosting, or simply escaping city life behind a gate and surrounded by trees. Inside, the home delivers the same caliber of experience as the grounds surrounding it. A two-story great room anchors the main level, flowing into a formal dining area and a chef's kitchen with Viking appliances and custom cabinetry. The lake-view primary suite offers a private deck, sitting/dressing room, and a spa bath with steam shower and Jacuzzi tub. Three spacious secondary bedrooms (two ensuite), a semi-private in-law suite with separate access, and a fully finished terrace level — complete with home theater, fitness room, game room with wet bar, and additional guest space — ensure every need is met without compromise. Gated. Private. No HOA. Eight garage bays. A private deep-water dock. Seven-plus acres on south Lake Lanier with one of the most convenient drives to and from Atlanta — this is the kind of estate that defines the lake lifestyle and rarely becomes available.
