GATED PRIVATE 7.14-ACRE WATERFRONT ESTATE on the SOUTH SHORE of LAKE LANIER. 7430 Shadburn Ferry Road, Cumming GA is a 6-bedroom home, with 6 full and 1 half baths across 7,363 finished square feet. One of the true Mediterranean-inspired landmark properties on the lake, set in Forsyth County with no HOA restrictions. A private deep-water dock, saltwater pool, and eight garage bays complete a rare package on Lake Lanier's most active south-shore corridor. Behind a gated circular drive, a distinctive clay tile roof and an elevated, wooded position set the tone, backed by freshly updated exterior landscaping. Once you're through the gate, the outside world disappears. The grounds are built for living well. A private path winds through mature hardwoods down to a refurbished dock with a party deck, a deep-water slip, and a triple jet ski port for true south lake access. Back on land, extensive custom stonework frames a saltwater pool with a new StoneScapes pebble finish, a six-person spa, a fire pit, and a fully equipped covered outdoor kitchen, with room left to add a sports court. Two four-car garages (eight bays total) offer serious space for a collector's fleet. Inside matches the grounds. 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, a sitting and dressing room, and a spa bath with a steam shower and Jacuzzi tub. Three spacious secondary bedrooms (two ensuite), a semi-private secondary suite with its own separate access, and a fully finished terrace level (walkout basement) with a home theater, fitness room, game room with wet bar, and additional guest space round out the home. The location matches the property's pedigree. Set minutes from GA-400 and directly across the lake from Margaritaville Resort, the estate also offers convenient access to Lanier Islands, the Mall of Georgia, North Georgia Premium Outlets, Chateau Elan Winery & Resort, and Alpharetta's Avalon, with Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport reachable via GA-400 and I-285. Gated, private, and free of HOA restrictions, with eight garage bays and a private deep-water dock on 7.14 acres of south Lake Lanier: this is the kind of estate that defines the lake lifestyle and rarely comes available.
