Arguably one of the coolest houses and lots on Lake Oglethorpe just outside of Athens GA. This lake community is home to many UGA related folks, and is one of the area's best kept secrets. The lake is private and has fishing that is stellar and a community dock for gathering and swimming. 199 Lakeside is a lakefront property with its own swim/fish/boat dock as well. This home was custom built for the current owners and was framed by quality craftsmen from Finland with much of the lumber coming from British Columbia. The true lake cabin in the woods feel will have you pinching yourself that you are a mere 20 minutes from campus. The main floor living area has soaring vault ceilings with exposed wood beams, pecky cypress walls, wood floors (throughout), and amazing natural light through custom built windows with views out to the lake beyond the extra large back deck, which is so inviting that we had to use it for our main picture. Gorgeous artisan tile surrounds a perfectly sized wood stove for a cozy, cost saving living experience. The super user-friendly kitchen opens to the great room and has a large pantry and views to the front of the property with its country road style circular driveway with two access points and woods in the middle for maximum privacy from the road (large two-car garage as well!). The owner's suite on main with wood floors has a full bath with a wet/dry sauna included in the original construction. Wood floors are throughout the main and second floor. Upstairs are two more bedrooms and a hall bath. The lake facing bedroom has sliding door access to a walk out deck and is so big that one could see using this room as additional living space rather than a bedroom. The walkout basement (with 10" poured foundation walls) has been mostly finished, and a caretaker lived there for a couple years when the sellers had to relocate to ATL, so there is a fully functioning kitchen set-up with exterior access to a terrace level patio and the backyard and lake beyond that. Great for visiting guests. An adjacent living area with sidelight windows serves as more gathering space, and a fourth bedroom style set up with a full bath is off that room (no window in that room). Loads of storage as well. This home and property have been lovingly maintained with updated HVAC, well equipment, water heater and more. It's literally ready to be moved right into and enjoyed. Rare rare opportunity. Lake Oglethorpe is a private peaceful lake. No gas powered boats allowed (just electric trolling motors) and no air bnb or short term rentals permitted. This tight little community is a step back in time in the finest sense.
