Home Details for 6686 Gaines Ferry Road

Don't miss one of Lake Lanier's crown jewels! AMAZING is the best description for this one-of-a-kind opportunity on this huge, custom-built home with year-round views, offering complete privacy on a 5.45-acre lot with a very gentle walk to a deep-water point that features a covered, double-slip boathouse! As you pull into the gated entry and follow the long driveway, as the home can't be seen from the road, you will get a feeling of entering a secluded oasis. This custom-built home has enormous sq. ft. on the main level, and upon entering the dynamic leaded glass entry foyer with 14' ceilings, it gives you an immediate sense of the size of the home. The main level is comprised of a large kitchen with a floor-to-ceiling rock fireplace, loads of stained cabinetry, a huge work island, serving bar, a built-in refrigerator, oven, and warming drawer, a separate gas cooktop, a walk-in pantry, and a desk workstation area. Separate formal dining room with arched windows and built-in cabinetry. The atrium area off the kitchen has a stairway to the terrace level, and an amazing view of the cupola above. Dual conversation areas off the atrium have walk-out patios and are loaded with floor-to-ceiling windows letting in lots of natural light and great views. An additional separate wing off the atrium includes a theater area with another floor-to-ceiling rock fireplace, a full custom-built bar, and a separate billiards area flanked by radius-top windows. The primary wing of the main level is comprised of two massive offices, with a built-in desk and cabinetry. The primary suite, with a private patio and, of course, spectacular views, boasts two primary full bathrooms, two walk-in closets with built-ins, a private laundry room that's loaded with cabinetry, and a sink. Upstairs has an oversized guest suite with a private bath, accessed by a rear stairway and/or the elevator. There is also a private powder room off the rear hallway on the main level. The terrace level offers a two-story family room and a rock fireplace, tons of windows and natural light, tall ceiling height, etc., so it doesn't feel like any terrace level that you might have seen before. There is a full-size, huge kitchen and breakfast area, built-ins, two large split bedrooms, each with private baths, an additional powder room, as well as a second full-size laundry room. The terrace level also has a separate driveway with ample parking, a private leaded glass double door foyer entry, a huge two-car garage, plus numerous workshop and storage areas. There is also a dog washroom area with yet another powder room. Walk out to the heated gunite pool with pebble-tec flooring, hot-tub with spill-over, cool stamped decking, multiple sun-lounging areas, and endless views make for an incredible entertainment time. Take a gentle walk on the concrete walkway leading to a rare covered double-slip boathouse with power and water run and a party platform above. The deepwater point lot has tons of shoreline, riprap, and includes a mow permit to the water. The grounds are amazing with tons of plantings, shrubbery, trees, and carpet-like zoysia sod. The main level also boasts four garages, in addition to the two at the terrace level. There is nothing like this on the market, especially at the south end of Lanier. It's the total package, with the privacy, views, acreage, custom-built home, pool, covered boathouse, deep-water point lot, and location are all something to be seen before it's gone!
