Enjoy lake living at its finest at 5281 Laurel Lane on Lake Lanier in Gainesville. Located a little over an hour from downtown Atlanta, Lake Lanier is the largest lake in Georgia, with nearly 700 miles of shoreline spread over 38,000 +/- acres. If you have been looking for waterfront property, this exquisite log cabin home offers the perfect blend of rustic design and luxury finishes to create a home that is both charming and impressive. Nestled on 1.61+/- wooded acres with 166 feet of water frontage, it doesn’t get much better than this!
As you come up the drive, the property’s natural surroundings create a private setting for this wonderful log home. The curved driveway leads to a covered entrance that gives way to the home’s open layout featuring rich detailing throughout. From wood flooring, walls and ceilings to the stone breakfast bar and fireplace, every inch of the main floor was meticulously designed to create warm and inviting spaces using natural materials that bring the outdoors in.
Once inside, you are met with the gourmet kitchen. A true chef’s delight, it features a Viking suite of appliances, custom hardwood cabinets, a hammered copper farmhouse sink and exotic granite countertops. A large breakfast bar provides plenty of seating, perfect for casual meals.
The open-concept floor plan boasts a dining area that is large enough to accommodate 12+ and an expansive great room with a vaulted ceiling. Floor-to-ceiling windows and two sets of double doors on either side of the oversized stone fireplace flood in natural light and provide easy access to the deck, delivering treetop views and glimpses of the lake beyond.
For additional entertaining space, take the open staircase upstairs to find a spacious vaulted loft. Ideal for a pool table, media room or home office, it offers flexible options to tailor the space to your specific lifestyle.
Two large primary bedrooms are located on the main floor, each with loft areas, custom en suite bathrooms with walk-in glass showers and private outdoor living spaces with views of Lake Lanier. These bedrooms make wonderful retreats to rest and recharge. A secondary bedroom with a separate bathroom completes the main floor.
Head down to the daylight terrace level for another full floor of living space. The finished basement features a large family/recreation room, a home gym, an oversized laundry room with built-in storage and project area, a fourth bedroom and a storage area that is plumbed for a fourth bathroom. Two sets of double doors across the front open to reveal a lower-level deck.
As gorgeous as this house is on the inside, the upper and lower level decks provide incredible outdoor living spaces. Whether you are enjoying your morning coffee, grilling, dining al fresco or entertaining guests, the views of the lake from both decks are spectacular. And if you want to take the party closer to the water, head down to the dock. Featuring a newly refinished double boat slip with deep water and a boat lift, as well as a second-level entertaining area, you have everything you need for your water adventures!
Lakefront living requires a lot of storage and the newly constructed three-car garage provides plenty. Designed to complement the main house, it comes complete with its own basement storage area that could be used for boats, jet skis, kayaks, tubes, floats and outdoor furniture. Or consider converting it to a separate apartment, workshop or more.
5281 Laurel Lane takes lakefront living to another level. From its timeless appeal and high-end finishes to its extensive water frontage and lake views, this one is a must-see. Contact Justin Koeniger today to schedule a tour of this property and see how much fun lake life can be.
