Yesterday, we said goodbye to this wonderful Lake Lanier cottage located on the shores of the Chestatee River at 1092 Chestatee Point in Dawsonville.
This quaint cottage was a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home located just off Harmony Church Road in Dawsonville. Custom built by its original owners, the home featured deep, open waters on the Chestatee River. It had a versatile, open floor plan, with two complete living spaces, and even included two gorgeous kitchens with breakfast bars. It also had an enormous upstairs loft, a flexible living area, a cozy Tennessee River Rock fireplace, hardwood floors, exposed beams, and a rustic charm that was simply captivating! Outside, there was a relaxing 16 by 14 screened porch with scenic Lake Lanier views of the Chestatee River. The property was located on a level lot with easy access to the single-slip, grandfathered boathouse. This home had a lot of lake and mountain character. It was simply a fantastic buy! The final sales price on the home was $400,000. Many thanks to James Lyons of Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby's International for his expert representation of the purchasers in this transaction. Here's a look at the property video!
Today, we completed the sale on this charming lakefront cottage located on Linger Longer Road in Cumming, just three miles from Georgia Hwy. 400. This property was situated on an exceptional deep water lot on the south end of Lake Lanier. The home was fully renovated and expanded in 2005. An additional $70,000+ upgrades were added since 2011. This wonderful Lake Lanier home included two master suites, one on the main and another on the terrace level. There was also an additional bedroom on the main. It featured three completely renovated full baths.
As you can see, from the photos below, this property had fabulous year-round lake views on both levels! It also included three incredible decks with fantastic water views! There was even a detached two-car garage, making it very suitable as a full-time residence!
With a short, gentle path to the water, grass to water's edge and a location on a quiet no-ski cove this was an unbelievable acquisition. The property included an oversized single slip dock with party deck, boat lift, electrical power, lighting, a premium 10+ year dock surface coating, and many more features! This was indeed a rare find and an exceptional value on the south end of Lake Lanier! These trophy properties do not come along often! We were very fortunate and very excited about assisting our clients in the purchase of this incredible Lake Lanier property!

Congratulations to our buyer clients from Florida, who closed on their Lake Lanier home on Wednesday! The property located at 9315 Long Hollow Road in Gainesville has to be one of the most charming Lake Lanier cottages that I have ever come to know. A true diamond on the waterfront with a history of local, Forsyth County craftsmanship dating back to the 1950's when Lake Lanier was a rural dream and few knew it for more than a distant, country getaway. This lake home presented itself like a museum of history and immediately stole our hearts and imaginations. During my last visit and final walk prior to closing, I snapped a few photos of the exterior and grounds. I am certain that many memories were forged in this old camp which will be improved and yet preserved by the new owners. My guess is that this old cottage will one day find itself on record as a fabulous display of rural life in the 1950's along the shores of Lake Lanier!

Years ago, I stumbled across this wonderful south lake cottage on Lanier. I ran into the owners shortly after their acquisition of this charming home, and we talked about the lake and how much they were enjoying this neat little place. I was very excited about their purchase! The property was level to the lake, had great views, very deep water and was conveniently located in Cumming near Hwy. 400.
Fast forward to today. The owners of this traditional lake cottage find themselves ready to move on to other adventures, and they no longer use the home for the lake like they once did. So, once again, I visited the property and the owners and found myself completely blown away again. If you are a true Lake Lanier advocate and believe that lake living must be enjoyed close to the water and with wonderful views, then this home at 2190 Cove Trail is for you!
Granted, this is no McMansion or grand estate! It's simply a quaint, charming cottage/cabin in a fantastic south lake location, on a fabulous lot, with tremendous water and an extraordinary dock and lake setting. As you've probably heard, at Lanier "It's all about the water and the lot!" Well, this property has it! It takes you back to simpler times! It takes you back to the '70's, when times were different on Lanier. When great lots were just being developed and views of the water were more easily found.
2190 Cove Trail has two bedrooms, two baths, a big open kitchen and dining area, and a nice big den! It has a nice back deck, a brick fire pit for grilling, and a great view of the water! Yes, it's all about the lake! It does not have a wine cellar, a home theater, or a four car garage. It's all about the lake! Charm! And weekends on the water! This property has a massive double slip dock in great condition. It has a party deck that begs for lounging. It has a big covered sitting area. It has jet ski ports. It has an extensive rip rap shoreline. It is beautiful! And calm, with its no-wake zone!
Do you want south lake? Great water, great views? A charming cottage for your weekends? You should come visit 2190 Cove Trail and see what lake living is all about!
