Sit quietly and you’ll spot several families of deer that meander through the yard every day – including fawns! Off the dining area is a cozy room with stacked stone gas fireplace (no mess, just flip the switch for instant crackling fire). Through the glass doors is the screened-in porch, with its own TV, perfect for watching the big game. The indoor porch swing queen-sized daybed is steps away from these main living areas – perfect for a quiet moment with a book, afternoon nap or close the doors and float to sleep for the deepest sleep of your life!

Upstairs there is another media loft with 65" TV, as well as the primary bedroom and two secondary rooms. Enjoy the romantic balcony off the primary bedroom, or indulge in the spa-like en suite bathroom. The two secondary rooms share a bathroom with separate pocket doors for privacy.

The finished basement has a large "forest" living area for movies or groups to gather, plus the large bonus room with king bed and a desk for a quiet, dedicated work space if needed. Step out the French doors from the basement and gather at the fire pit, perfect for s'mores and tall tales. Don't miss the magical kids hideout under the stairs!

Also out your back door, explore the wooded, pristine nature preserve next to the house with a picnic or walk down to the lake cove where you can use our kayaks. Put your boat in just down the road at a gated boat ramp, with complimentary card access.

Excitement is minutes away at Margaritaville water park, Lanier Islands golf course, and the resort's Tranquility Spa. Discover Buford's historic downtown or enjoy a night on the town at the theater or Main Street's night life.

Perfect for reunions, traveling groups, out-of-town wedding guests, and family getaways.
