What’s more important: a $60,000 brand-new dock or the charming lake cottage that comes with it? Built by Martin Docks, this masterpiece doesn’t just float—it elevates your lake life with an upper-level party deck and year-round deep water access. It's your launchpad for endless boating, fishing, and kayaking adventures, and just a gentle stroll from your backdoor—no treacherous drop-offs to tumble down after your fourth ranch water. Tucked away in a quiet cove, this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom retreat is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle. Breathe in crisp, clean air with your morning dark roast. Forget Atlanta traffic; remote work is infinitely better when you're living on the lake. The wraparound deck both screened-in and open-air, offers a front-row seat to watch the mist rise off the lake as the sun peeks through. Stress? What stress? Mondays here feel like Fridays, and time? That's for someone else to keep track of. Located in the coveted Thompson's Creek area, you’ll have easy access to the Athens Boat Club & Marina for quick fill-ups, snack runs, or a jaunt to Pelican Pete’s for some lakeside dining. Not in the mood to boat? Hwy 400, the North Georgia outlets and a variety of restaurants are just minutes away. But the real magic happens on that upper deck, watching the sun dip below the horizon, as "Free Bird" plays in the background, drink in hand. Inside, the cottage is cozy and perfectly appointed, featuring a generous master suite that opens to a screened porch—ideal for sneaking away to watch the game or just savor the night air. On crisp fall nights, snuggle up in the vaulted sunroom, your favorite room in the house, where the walls of windows frames the lake like a living work of art. Watch as deer tiptoe through the backyard to drink at the water's edge. This isn't just a lake house; it's a North Georgia mountain escape. Whether your'e paddling on the water, hiking nearby trails, or simply soaking in the serenity, this location has it all. And if you're dreaming bigger, there's an additional lot available-- deeded separately and ready for your imagination to run wild. The only thing left? Planning your next adventure. Call today, and let's make lake life your life.
