*Accepting Back-Up Offers* DEEP WATER. WIDE, CLEAN COVE. PEACE, PRIVACY, AND A DOCK YOU CAN ACTUALLY USE. Enjoy a 32x32 covered dock in a peaceful, wide cove on 6 mile with exceptional water depth and exceptionally strong protection against losing usable access as Lake Lanier levels change. As of 9/25, the water depth under the dock measured approximately 15', with Lake Lanier 6.5' below full pool. When the lake is down, you can see firsthand how the dock sits in the water and how much separation remains from neighboring docks as they begin to chase the water. The result is remarkable peace of mind: strong protection against losing usable access to your watercraft due to neighboring docks, blockage, or sitting on mud - and that is priceless. The home itself has never been on the market. Tucked into a private drive within an upscale community, this home is not a part of an HOA. Main-level living with a fully finished basement that offers a separate living space complete with its own kitchen, bedroom, full bathroom, living spaces, and outdoor patio. The home is liveable now, but most would want to update the home to more modern standards, which means this is a blank slate for you to choose your own paint, flooring, and fixtures. There is a lake view once the trees shed in the fall. Sought-after location on the Shady Grove Peninsula. Easy access to Hwy 400, East Forsyth HS district in a County that offers a Sr. discount on taxes. Come see!!
