Grab your kayaks and enjoy the gentle stroll to the shoreline at this rare Lake Lanier waterfront retreat, where effortless access to the water invites you to fully embrace lakeside living. Discover a true gem featuring a highly sought-after gentle walk-to-water lot with easy, gradual shoreline access — a rare and valuable find on the lake. Tucked within the desirable Valley Hi community, this beautifully maintained Craftsman-style home offers nearly 4,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space that blends refined comfort with the relaxed charm of everyday lake life.
Embrace the true Lake Lanier lifestyle right from your backyard — launch your kayak for a peaceful morning paddle, enjoy paddleboarding at sunrise, or unwind by the water’s edge just steps away. The smooth, easy path to your private lake frontage makes lakeside living accessible and enjoyable for all ages. Adding to the property’s exceptional functionality is a long second driveway, ideal for boat and trailer storage, with room and potential for the next homeowner to extend it even farther and create a level parking pad perfect for RV storage!
Inside, soaring beamed and vaulted ceilings, hardwood and tile flooring, and abundant natural light create a warm yet elegant atmosphere throughout. The chef’s kitchen serves as the heart of the home, showcasing stone countertops, an oversized island, breakfast bar, dual sinks, and a built-in wine cooler — perfect for entertaining after a full day on the water. Multiple gathering spaces, including the oversized formal dining room, inviting great room, formal living room, and sunroom/flex space, provide seamless options for hosting or relaxing.
The spacious primary suite offers a serene retreat complete with a sitting area, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath featuring double vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. Outdoor living is equally inviting with a welcoming front porch and a back deck ideal for grilling, enjoying lake breezes, or entertaining under the stars. The private, level lot offers ample space for outdoor games, gatherings, or simply unwinding in your own lakeside sanctuary.
Conveniently positioned near some of Lake Lanier’s most popular marinas and waterfront destinations, you’re just minutes from Lazy Days Marina, Holiday Marina, Port of Indecision, Safe Harbor Hideaway Bay, and Lanier Harbor Marina in the City of Buford — making boating, watersports, and sunset cruises effortlessly accessible. Lakeside dining favorites such as Fish Tales Lakeside Grille and the vibrant Margaritaville at Lanier Islands — featuring LandShark Bar & Grill, Bullfrog’s Bar & Grille, and Chill Zone — are just a short drive away, offering the perfect setting for waterfront dining and entertainment.
Additional highlights include a two-car garage, ample storage, and an exceptional combination of comfort, luxury, flexibility, and true waterfront living. Experience the very best of Lake Lanier — where every day feels like a getaway.
