Property Description
Tucked away on a peaceful, cul-de-sac lot, 6800 Thunder Trail offers the privacy, character, and a Lake Lanier lifestyle buyers are searching for-along with extensive renovations and a private dock ready for lake days. Here, the Lake Lanier lifestyle begins right in your backyard. An easy walk leads to your private, permitted single-slip dock with party deck in deep water. The dock is exceptionally well equipped with full power supplied by a brand-new solar electric system, an 8,000-pound boat lift, and approximately 17 feet of clearance beneath the party deck, providing plenty of room for boats with ski or wake towers. Once you reach the bottom of the steps next to the home, the remaining approach to the dock is level. Spend your days boating, swimming, fishing, or relaxing on the party deck before heading out on the water. Pelican Pete's is approximately a 20-minute boat ride away, putting one of Lake Lanier's favorite destinations within easy reach. Back at the house, this three-level lake home has been professionally renovated down to the studs and is ready for its next chapter. Recent improvements include a brand-new metal roof, beautiful site-finished hardwood floors, fresh interior paint, and a brand-new upper deck. The HVAC system and hot water heater were replaced approximately in 2024, while the kitchen features brand-new appliances with factory warranties. The unique floor plan offers both openness and privacy. The entire upper level is dedicated to the owner's suite, featuring a private full bath and loft-style balcony overlooking the living room below. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath are located on the main level, along with a screened porch-an inviting place for morning coffee or peaceful evenings surrounded by the trees. The terrace level offers additional finished living space along with an exciting opportunity for customization, allowing the next owner to create a space tailored to their lifestyle. Imagine a bunk room for lake weekends, game or media room, home office, fitness area, or additional gathering space. With room to bring your own vision to life, this level adds flexibility and endless potential to expand the way you enjoy the home. A detached one-car garage provides additional space for storage, lake gear, a workshop, or recreational equipment. Whether you're searching for a weekend lake retreat or full-time Lake Lanier residence, 6800 Thunder Trail delivers a hard-to-find combination of privacy, extensive renovations, deep water, and an exceptionally well-equipped private dock with party deck. The work has been done-pack your bags and start enjoying the Lake Lanier lifestyle!
