MOUNTAIN LAKE GETAWAY COTTAGE FOR SALE!

The unique feature of this property is that it has the feel of being in the North Georgia Mountains in the fall and spring, while also being a lake house in the summer.  Being in a mountain like setting overlooking the lake, you have the best of all worlds. There is a series of steps down to the dock through a lovely wood setting.

I have owned this property for several years and I am now offering it For Sale.  The first 2-1/2 years it was rented by the week at $900 per week as a vacation getaway cottage.  The last 4 plus years it has been and still is leased by a very good tenant. The check is always in the mail on time and I never get calls regarding repairs, etc.

The cottage/chalet could use some cosmetic repairs including paint and carpet for example.  The ideal thing to do to this property is to replace the shingle roof with a metal roof, replace the siding with Hardy board and replace the back deck, which can be enlarged. I think the new owner should pick the colors of the roof and siding.  I am offering it for sale as is; or I will do improvements that will be added to my asking price.

I will supply driving directions by email or fax with verification of the inquiring party. This property is currently rented and I will respect the rights, privacy and desires of the tenant as a condition of this sale.

$5,000 earnest money and a contract could have you owning this property in 30 days. I will gladly meet anyone at the property that is ready to contract if they would like an inside walk through.

Due to the fact that Lake Lanier properties with a dock in the $200,000's are extremely rare, I have priced this property for fast sale.

If interested, contact Jim Jordan, Monday - Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at 770-889-3000 or by email any time at AmericanAtlanta@aol.com.

Entry is on the main level into the living room, which contains a wood burning fireplace (1st & 2nd Pictures).  Off the living room toward the kitchen on the right is a full bathroom with a claw foot bathtub.  Past that is the dining area on the left (3rd Picture) and kitchen on the right (not shown).  Note:  These pictures were taken when the house was furnished.  It has been rented for the last 2-1/2 years and will be sold unfurnished.)

3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, Front Porch, Back Deck and Boat Dock

This 2 storey cottage is nestled at the edge of the North Georgia Mountains, near the end of the Olympic Rowing Venue on Lake Sidney Lanier and offers a fantastic, quiet setting.  The cottage is located in Gainesville, Georgia.  Miles of undeveloped navigatable Chattahoochee River exists just North of this location.

Carpeted throughout, this home has a wood burning fireplace, central heat and air-conditioning.  The top two floors are approximately 1,200 square feet combined with an additional 750 square feet in the basement.  The three bedrooms are on the top floor with a full bath (2nd bath is on the main floor.)

The lot is approximately 1/2 acre.  If you include the Corps of Engineers' shoreline property in essence there is 1 and 1/2 acres.  There is a community association as well as access to a private boat ramp.  The cottage is near the end of the road, hence minor traffic.

The dock is a 26 foot by 26 foot facility with a covered boat slip (10 x 22) with good water.  It is located near the end of a cove and offers considerable privacy.  It is also protected from high winds, storms, and rough water from other boat traffic.

Stove and refrigerator are included.

Local schools are White Sulphur Elementary, East Hall Middle School and East Hall High School.

Above is pictured the dock, the cove and the dock, and a view through the woods overlooking Lake Lanier from the back deck (during the winter).  Below are more pictures of the house, the view and the steps leading from the dock to the house.
