There's something about living close to the water that just makes life feel a little easier. This one's tucked into the coveted Shady Grove Road peninsula, where you'll be living near some of Forsyth County's most luxurious lake homes! Less than 2 miles away is Young Deer Park & Boat Launch, and Shady Grove Campground is less than one mile away — so "let's take the boat or RV out this weekend" actually happens, instead of staying a someday plan. And here's the detail everyone asks about: there's a cement pad behind the fenced backyard with room for a boat or small RV. No separate storage lot, no negotiating driveway space — just pull out and go whenever the mood strikes.
The home itself has plenty to offer too. It offers TWO living room spaces, 3 FULL bathrooms, and nearly 2000 square feet of finished living space, thanks to a fully finished lower level — great for a 4th bedroom, game room, home gym, quiet office, or space for guests to spread out. Upstairs, you'll find a comfortable primary suite with a garden tub, an eat-in kitchen, and a family room built around a cozy fireplace. Out back, a private fenced yard on over half an acre gives everyone plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. The extra-large 2-car garage is a standout feature, outfitted with built-in cabinets and countertops — perfect for a workshop, hobby space, or serious storage setup. Recent updates include a new roof and new water heater in 2025, fresh exterior paint, and all new windows in 2026, offering peace of mind for years to come! A move-in-ready home with recent major updates, extra finished living space, and unbeatable proximity to Lake Lanier — schedule your showing today!

Lake Lanier is one of North Georgia’s most loved destinations for lake living, outdoor recreation, and year-round natural beauty. The west side of Lake Lanier, especially around Cumming, Gainesville, and Dawsonville, is known for its easy commuting access, quieter coves, and a lifestyle that blends convenience with that “on-vacation” feeling.
Living on the west side of Lake Lanier means you’re close to top-rated Forsyth County schools, major shopping and dining, and fast access to GA-400. This part of the lake is popular with homeowners who want deep-water access, great fishing, low-traffic boating, and sunset views. It’s also home to multiple parks, well-maintained boat ramps, walking trails, and lakeside restaurants that make weeknights feel like weekends.
Residents choose the west side for its balance of privacy and proximity. You can launch a boat within minutes, hike the Sawnee Mountain Preserve, grab dinner in Halcyon or downtown Cumming, and still be close enough to Atlanta for work or travel. It’s ideal for anyone wanting a primary home, weekend retreat, or an investment property near one of Georgia’s most in-demand recreational lakes.
Whether you’re into wakeboarding, kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing on the dock, Lake Lanier’s west side gives you that laid-back lifestyle with all the modern conveniences nearby. Homes and lots here tend to move fast thanks to strong demand, deep water, and the unbeatable location.
