The western exposure delivers sunsets that have to be seen to be believed, and the 32x32 custom single-slip party dock sits ready the moment you arrive. This is 5,279 square feet of pure intention. The main level opens into a soaring great room with 22-foot ceilings, anchored by 11-foot Windsor windows throughout the home that frame the lake like a living painting. Custom coffered beam work stretches across the ceiling above you. Two grand fireplaces with gas logs and real bronze mantles anchor the living spaces. Every surface, every fixture, every finish was chosen with the same standard: the best available. The primary bedroom offers exquisite views and the most luxurious spa bathroom. Expansive custom closet with fold out shoe feature has to be seen in person! Kingdom Woodworks cabinetry featuring one inch doors and drawers is utilized throughout the entire home. The kitchen is a chef's showpiece with Thermador suite of appliances, a wine fridge, 2 Ice makers and one-of-a-kind imported countertops butterflied on the island. A dedicated coffee station and water filtration system are just a few of the details the builder considered. A walk-in Butler's pantry carries the same level of incomparable craftsmanship as does the laundry room featuring a dedicated sink with a pet washing station, because no detail was overlooked. Two additional en-suite bedrooms, each with custom closets and extensive lake views anchor the terrace level. A fourth bedroom, equally impressive as a flex space or private gym, and second laundry round out the terrace level alongside a full terrace kitchen with its own ice machine and beverage cooler, perfect for seamless entertaining straight from the lake. Every en suite bath and both half baths showcase exquisite finishes including Porcelanosa tile imported from Spain, Brizo and real brass fixtures, Kohler toilets, and designer wallpaper that elevates every space. Lighting is exclusively Ralph Lauren and RH. Stone walls, custom beam work, and designer wallpaper appear throughout. The limestone carries from the exterior facade straight through the interior. Two-by-six framing and spray foam insulation throughout the entire envelope mean this home performs as well as it looks. A tankless water heater, whole-home custom entertainment system, and generator-ready infrastructure complete the picture. Outside, a top-of-the-line Hot Springs spa awaits. A level, cleared path leads you just steps from the house directly to the brand-new 32x32 party dock, sitting on deep water with privacy that is exceptional and sunsets that are unforgettable. This is the kind of peninsula lot buyers wait years for on Lake Lanier and it has never existed in a home like this.

If you've been searching for a Lake Lanier lakefront home with a year-round deep-water private dock and no HOA, your search ends here. On a lake where dock-permitted waterfront properties are genuinely hard to come by, 6265 Reives Road delivers the access and lifestyle Lake Lanier buyers are after - at a price that reflects real value in today's market. The home is a 4-bedroom, 3-bath ranch with a finished walk-out terrace level on nearly an acre along the south shore of Lake Lanier in Forsyth County - one of the most convenient and coveted stretches of the lake. Major systems have been addressed so you can focus on the lake, not a to-do list. A brand-new 2026 HVAC system pairs with a 2023 roof, open-cell spray foam insulation throughout, 2022 siding, gutters, and exterior paint, and all-new double-hung tilt-in vinyl windows. Smart home features - Honeywell thermostat, smart garage doors, door locks and doorbell, exterior lighting, and security cameras - round out the updates. Inside, the living room opens to a cathedral ceiling with shiplap accent walls and beamed ceilings that set a comfortable, relaxed tone. The eat-in kitchen features a granite island and counters, a 5-burner Frigidaire range, and a Fisher & Paykel 2-drawer dishwasher, with a separate dining room alongside. The main-level primary suite includes a fireplace and a whirlpool tub - a proper retreat after a day on the water. Custom shelving and closet organizers run throughout the home, and recessed lighting keeps things clean and bright. Downstairs, the walk-out terrace level includes a home theater with a built-in fireplace and multi-room sound system, a kitchenette with full-size refrigerator, a game and living area, a bunk area with Eno hammocks, and a storage area with utility sink - all on low-maintenance stained and scored concrete floors. The real story is the water access. The private covered single-slip dock with party deck sits in proven deep water - even at lower lake levels, you can launch and go. A drivable golf cart path connects the home straight to the dock, which has both water and electric on site. From there, you're less than a half-mile to Six Mile Creek Park (boat ramp and beach) and just minutes by boat to Holiday Marina, Port Royale, and Pelican Pete's floating restaurant. This is genuine Lake Lanier waterfront living with a private dock to show for it. Outside, the property is laid out for easy lake-life entertaining. A maintenance-free Trex deck on the rear - with 384 square feet of enclosed dry storage below with two barn doors - connects to a covered breezeway and a screened porch that's ideal for morning coffee or winding down at sunset. A fire pit patio anchors the backyard, which is flat, grassy, and has room to add a pool. A detached greenhouse with ventilation system and a separate detached workshop with plumbing and heat give you flexibility - whether you need a potting room, a pool house, or a place to store lake toys. The oversized 3-car garage (with room for a lift) keeps vehicles and gear out of the weather, and upgraded landscaping with heirloom irises adds a nice touch at the edges. Location is one of this property's strongest assets. You're less than 10 minutes from GA-400, top-rated Forsyth County schools, and everyday shopping and dining in Cumming, GA. Atlanta's Buckhead and Midtown are about 45 minutes south, while the North Georgia mountains - Dahlonega, Helen, hiking, waterfalls, and award-winning wineries - are 30 to 45 minutes north. It's a rare address that puts the lake, the city, and the mountains all within easy reach. If you're looking for an honest value in Lake Lanier lakefront real estate with real water access and a solid foundation to build on, this one is worth seeing in person.
