Don't miss this deal! Partially renovated lakefront ranch home with unbeatable Lake Lanier views! Unfortunately, a tree fell on the roof while renovating so the owners are selling it AS-IS. You can't beat the year-round views & close proximity to the lake. Easy & short path to single-slip party dock in deep, open water. Enjoy an additional parking pad at the top of the driveway when entertaining guests. PLEASE use caution when touring, this is a "construction zone" due to the tree debris. Structural engineer's report & quote for repairs are provided. Excellent location, close to GA 400, Dawsonville & Gainesville amenities.
