About this home

Watch the sailing regattas from your dock! Amazing and rare 5.48 acres of lakefront paradise with big water views and private dock tucked protectively just off of the main body of Lake Lanier. Over 481' of road front and over 293' of Corp Frontage, the property could be easily subdivided. Could have two lots close to the corp line with over an acre each and the existing house on the rest of the acreage. A producing vineyard, gardens, and natural wildlife provide for this oasis of lakefront living. Forsyth County schools and easy access to Cumming or Gainesville.
