A rare opportunity to own in Hickory Lakeside, an exclusive gated Lake Lanier community designed for elevated lakeside living. With only 52 homesites, resort-style amenities, and an assigned boat slip included with the home, this is an exceptional offering for those seeking privacy, convenience, and access to the lake. Residents enjoy a clubhouse, pool, tennis and pickleball courts, a fire pit, golf-cart paths, and a thoughtfully planned community centered around Lake Lanier. This beautifully improved luxury home offers refined design, smart efficiency, and outstanding future potential. The sophisticated interior features wide-plank white oak flooring, 10-foot ceilings, vaulted architectural details, shaker-style doors, fresh paint, designer lighting, and custom John Shadburn cabinetry. The chef’s kitchen is designed to impress, with quartz countertops, a large island with seating, a Wolf six-burner gas cooktop, KitchenAid double ovens, warming drawer, separate ice maker, and large pantry. Every bedroom includes an en-suite bath and custom closet, while the main-level primary suite provides a private retreat with elevated finishes and direct access to the screen porch with a seasonal lake view. Enjoy effortless indoor-outdoor living from the screened sunroom with custom Sunspace Weathermaster collapsing windows and the covered grilling deck, already connected to natural gas. Set on a private .59-acre lot backing to Lake Lanier Corps of Engineers property, the home offers a peaceful wooded setting, seasonal lake views, six-zone irrigation, and room for a future custom pool. The full 2,436 sq. ft. unfinished walk-out terrace level offers substantial value and flexibility, already stubbed for a bath and supported by 400-amp electrical service. Create the space that suits your lifestyle—a media room, golf simulator, wellness retreat, guest suite, workshop, pool bar, or extended living area. A lower-level garage door provides easy storage for golf carts, lake gear, and equipment, while the main garages feature Guardian polyaspartic flooring. Additional features include Ecobee smart thermostats, Ring doorbell, tankless water heater, spray-foam attic insulation, Wi-Fi-enabled garage doors, and a Tesla Universal EV charger. Convenient to the GA 400 corridor, Atlanta, Buckhead, Avalon, Alpharetta, Halcyon, North Georgia mountains, and wineries, this Forsyth County home also offers access to highly regarded schools, favorable taxes, and excellent parks. Offered under $2 million, this is a compelling chance to enter one of Lake Lanier’s most private and amenity-rich communities. Experience Hickory Lakeside in person to fully appreciate this rare find.
