Property Description
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 lot with 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 into 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, huge work island and serving bar, built-in refrigerator, oven, warming drawer, separate gas cooktop, walk-in pantry, and a desk workstation area. Separate formal dining room w/ 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, full custom-built bar, and separate billiards area flanked by radius top windows. The primary wing of the main level is comprised of two massive offices with built-in desk and cabinetry, the primary suite itself with a private patio and of course spectacular views, two primary full bathrooms, two walk-in closets with built-ins, a private laundry room that's loaded with cabinetry and sink. Upstairs has an oversized guest suite with 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 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, 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 spillover, 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 ran 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!

HUD Foreclosures

HUD foreclosures and VA Foreclosures are some of the best homes to buy when price is part of the equation. As with most Americans, price is always a concern. If not buying the same house for less, why not buy more house for the same dollar invested? When looking for a good deal it is hard to do better than the VA or HUD foreclosures market. The simple truth is that there are just more VA and HUD homes on the market, as they represent such a large number of mortgages that are generated each year. This translates into more foreclosures just by the magnitude of difference between all others comparing to the two largest. The two largest also being government owned and operated means that they have less time to wait to make money back on the home. The FHA is especially known for selling HUD homes for less than the average sales price in a given area. FHA foreclosures represent a fraction of HUD but they are still a significant number of homes and both should be considered. VA (Veterans Administration) and HUD (Housing and Urban Development) have different and unique opportunities for the buyer. Both are often forgiven for the local taxes normally associated with the purchase of a home (this is on a county by county basis). Be sure to ask the local title company or escrow company to look into it for you before closing as this is often missed due to their are not used to dealing with the 2 to 3 percent of the market that VA and HUD foreclosures represent.

Foreclosure Listings Increasing

As the market settled after the mortgage meltdown foreclosure listings also settled and fewer homes were on the market with a placard reading “Bank Foreclosure” in big red lettering. This was a good thing for the entire real estate market. Having an abundance of foreclosures brings the entire market down and it makes it harder for home owners, who would like to move, to get the appropriate price for their home as a similar home down the same street was sold for substantially less and the appraiser is using the foreclosure as a comparable sale. This is just one of the problems when there are too many foreclosure listings in any area. Another issue is the television set that sits in everyone’s living room harping about the price of homes based on the number of foreclosures and this constant barrage of negative information makes most people sit on the sidelines waiting for the market to either implode completely or to correct itself. Meanwhile while they wait, others are buying foreclosure listings and making great investments. Whatever the reason, a market can only handle so many foreclosure listings at any given time. The more foreclosures, the lower the market gets and this is a lesson the banks that were foreclosing and selling off realized too late. The market and their investments would have been better off if there had not been a rush to divest themselves of the toxic assets made more toxic by their own actions.
