A Rare 55-Acre Lake Lifestyle Opportunity on Lake Lanier with Two 32x32 Dock Permits Included and the potential for multiple boat slip additions Welcome to a property that truly embodies Lake Lanier living. With 500 feet of shoreline, gentle rolling land, and the peaceful feel of Six Mile Creek, this 55-acre estate offers the kind of space and freedom that is getting harder to find every year. For the first time, this family-held property is available. In the heart of Forsyth County and zoned Lake Residential. The location could not be better. You are just 15 minutes from Cumming, Dawsonville, and Gainesville, and only three miles from GA-400. Lake life convenience and everyday ease come together in a way that feels effortless. Developers will immediately recognize the potential. With zoning that allows approximately 40 single-family lots at the required 30,000 sq ft minimum, this land offers a rare chance to design a community that celebrates space, nature, and the lake itself. Two transferable 32' x 32' dock permits with upgrade options add tremendous value, especially as dock rights on Lanier continue to become more limited. The property is a beautiful canvas of rolling hills, open pastures, natural springs, creek views, and wooded privacy. It is perfect for a luxury lakeside neighborhood, a private family compound, or a thoughtfully planned community where lake living takes center stage. An existing four-bedroom ranch home from 1972 sits on the property and could serve as a temporary residence or an on-site development office. Reach out today to explore the full potential of this exceptional Lake Lanier offering. Let’s talk about what this land can become.
