Build Your Dream Home on South Lake Lanier! Purchase this waterfront homesite at a bargain now and create the Lake Lanier retreat you have always envisioned. Located at 5046 McKinzey Lane, this South Lake Lanier lot offers approximately 150 feet of water frontage along a beautiful natural rock-lined shoreline. The property is situated on a peaceful cove that opens to the main lake near Sunrise Cove Marina, providing a quiet waterfront setting with convenient access to boating, fishing, kayaking and all that Lake Lanier has to offer. McKinzey Lane is a county-maintained road that was recently paved, providing improved access to the property. A permitted private single-slip party dock is already in place. The dock needs redecking, giving the new owner the opportunity to update it for future lake enjoyment.

What makes this property exceptionally rare are the irreplaceable grandfathered improvements near the shoreline - features no longer permitted on Lake Lanier today. The estate includes a lakeside cottage steps from the water, a grandfathered boathouse pavilion with half bath and entertaining space directly along the shoreline, and rare drive-down access nearly to the water's edge. Combined with two separately permitted docks. this offering represents a unique opportunity increasingly difficult to find, especially on the highly desirable south end of the lake. The custom-built main residence was thoughtfully designed to embrace the natural beauty of the lake setting with beautiful seasonal lake and sunset views, expansive outdoor living spaces, and timeless architectural character throughout. Crafted with warm finishes and quality details, the home features soaring ceilings, reclaimed antique doors, a chef's kitchen with leathered granite countertops, vintage-inspired range with pot filler, fireside gathering spaces, and seamless indoor-outdoor living designed for entertaining and relaxed lake living alike. One of the home's most impressive spaces is the expansive screened porch overlooking the property and lake, offering generous sitting and dining areas that create a true outdoor living room for year-round enjoyment. During the fall and winter months, the surrounding hardwood canopy opens to reveal more expansive panoramic lake views, while spring and summer provide a lush, private waterfront backdrop. The main-level primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with spa-inspired bath, while the unfinished terrace level already includes HVAC, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure ready for future expansion, recreation space, guest quarters, in-law accommodations, or a future second kitchen. Adding even greater flexibility and value, the fully renovated grandfathered lakeside cottage with gorgeous lake views offers approximately 930 square feet with one bedroom, one bathroom, full kitchen, laundry, wraparound deck, and private dock access. Positioned remarkably close to the shoreline, the cottage creates an authentic old-Lake Lanier experience rarely available today and is ideal for guests, extended family, caretaker quarters, executive retreat use, or potential income opportunities. At the shoreline, the grandfathered boathouse pavilion creates an unforgettable setting for entertaining with covered lounge and dining areas, grilling and prep space, dry storage for lake toys, a rec room with half bath, and effortless access to all three docks for boating, fishing, paddleboarding, swimming, and memorable sunset gatherings. Opportunities offering this level of shoreline, dock capacity, grandfathered improvements, and future potential have become increasingly rare on Lake Lanier.

This home does not have it all, but it's close. Spectacular Lake Lanier views all year round? Check. Deep water all year? Yes. A cart path from your back garage door all the way to the lake with no steps to descend or climb? Absolutely. A 32' x 32' dock with 2 full slips, a party deck, and a heavy-duty boat lift? Yes, yes, and yes. A completely updated, move-in ready, true lake home with over 10,000 square feet? Check. ONLY 7300 square feet are finished, 3000 square feet remain as either a fantastic storage area or a future expansion project. So what's missing? Just you. You'll wake in the primary suite on the main floor staring up at 15' tall pine vaulted ceilings, if you are a back-sleeper that is. If you're a side-sleeper, you'll wake to an amazing view of the lake before even rising. This home features flooring that's quickly becoming tough to find these days; solid 3/4 inch face-nailed heart pine stained a beautiful dark mahogany color. The primary bathroom is as serene as it is functional, giving spa-like vibes every time you enter. It also has a kitchen on each of the two main floors, both designed to be used, not just admired. On the second level, you'll find an impressive modern wet bar (for smoothies of course) that takes entertainment to a new level, and a huge theater capable of hosting dozens of movie-goers, special events, or even a possible future conversion to a dance or recording studio. There's an unfinished two-story "secret staired room" with concrete walls which make an excellent shelter or if a different door was added...a hidden safe room. There are three bedrooms and two full baths on this level with one of the bedrooms having a view that rivals the primary bedroom. This second level functions as a home of its own with its own kitchen, living space, over-sized deck, and a separation from the main floor that makes it ideal for multigenerational living or long-term guests. The home's custom floorplan flows naturally, and the staircases are intentionally positioned off to the side of the home, out of view from the front door, giving a cleaner, more open first impression. But it's the outdoor living that steals the show. Two huge lake facing decks, a lake facing patio, and a flagstone front porch combine for over 2300 square feet of outdoor covered living space. The upper deck has to be seen! The optics are hard for a camera to capture, but the 13' tall outdoor deck ceiling allows for an unbelievable view of the lake, the starry skies, and on clear days, a distant mountain or two. Facing west as you relax in the evenings will be like watching colorful, ever-changing SUNSETS over the lake on an IMAX screen, this NEVER gets old. When lake levels drop and many get their docks stranded, you'll be floating, boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, or sipping a smoothie in one of the two dock hammocks. You'll be one of the few lake home owners to get excited about low lake levels because when the water recedes, it exposes a natural sandy private beach ideal for sandcastles and beach tanning. Just jump off the top of the dock to get rid of the sand in your shorts! The water is always deep enough. Professionally landscaped and thoughtfully positioned on the lot, you'll sit about 48 yards from the water's edge while lounging on your deck. This estate feels tucked away in complete PRIVACY without sacrificing strong internet and strong mobile signals. If you get tired of swimming in the lake, remember that this little quaint resident managed HOA maintains a crystal clear swimming pool just a short golf cart ride away.
