Welcome to a once-in-a-lifetime, enchanting lakefront home that looks like a castle in the shire meets the Garden of Eden! It features whimsical olde English architecture, magnificent blooming grounds that have been featured in magazines & sublime privacy - all on the south end of beautiful Lake Lanier. The home’s many assets include artistic designer fixtures & finishes, imported pro appliances, storage drawers under the stair steps (so cool!) & a massive screened porch w/ breathtaking sunset views (you’ll live out there); but it’s the enchanting grounds that set this property apart from all others. There’s a huge Koi pond w/ a gorgeous waterfall, fountain, deck, bungalow over the water that rents for $2500/mo & tranquil walking trail around the pond and through a bamboo forest for restorative nature immersion. Enjoy the ultimate in forest bathing in the large English garden w/ seating & lake view, private water garden, real orchid garden, zen barefoot moss garden for reading & calm reflection, playground/tree house, detached 3-car garage, workshop, custom iron gate & more. Very easy path to your nice dock on great water. Furniture negotiable. Magical, tranquil & truly unforgettable!
