Hidden within the gated Great Oaks community, this extraordinary lakefront property offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and timeless low-country charm. Surrounded by a small collection of homes overlooking a serene 15-acre lake, this property offers an incredibly private setting with breathtaking waterfront views. A flagstone walkway leads to the welcoming entrance where soaring 20-foot beamed ceilings, refinished wide plank hardwood floors, and a custom fireplace create a warm yet impressive great room. Expansive windows and French doors allow natural light to pour in while showcasing stunning lake views throughout the home. The spacious covered porch and beautifully updated sunroom overlook the private dock and provide the perfect place to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The thoughtfully updated kitchen features granite countertops, updated backsplash, a charming bay window ideal for an herb garden, and an additional nook that could function beautifully as a coffee bar, breakfast space, or butler’s pantry. The main level offers exceptional functionality with three spacious bedrooms, each featuring its own private bathroom. The owner’s suite is positioned to take full advantage of the water views, while an additional flex space on the main floor creates the perfect opportunity for a private office, library, workout room, or additional sitting area. Upstairs, the oversized bonus room with a full private bath offers endless flexibility and could easily serve as a fourth bedroom, guest retreat, media room, or playroom. Ample storage and closet space can be found throughout the home. Outside, the property continues to impress with a barn/workshop, private dock access, and the option for a private driveway entrance from Hwy 82 through an existing easement. Located approximately 12 miles from Athens and within the Jackson County school district, this home offers the perfect balance of convenience and peaceful waterfront living. Properties offering this level of privacy, water frontage, acreage, and architectural character rarely become available. This is a truly special opportunity to own a remarkable retreat in an unforgettable setting.
