OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2009 FROM 1:00 PM TO 4:30 PM
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.
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.(Needs replacing now) 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.
This 3 bedroom,2 bath,2 story cottage is nestled at the edge of the North Georgia Mountains, near the end of the Olympic Rowing Venue on Lake 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(old),this home has a wood burning fireplace, central heat and A/C. The top two floors are approximately 1,200 square feet combined with an additional 750 square feet in the basement.(Gameroom?) The three bedrooms are on the top floor with a full bath.
The lot is approximately 1/2 acre. If you include the Corps of Engineers' shoreline property in essence there is approximately 2 acres. There is 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.
Local schools are White Sulphur Elementary, East Hall Middle School and East Hall High School.

In review,the chalet is liveable now, but is in need of TLC. It is a great fixer upper!
We will not post the address here as we prefer to have established communications with any prospects.
We will not spam you,this condition is to prevent nonrespective individuals from randomly coming on the property.
We will have a preprepared universal reponse we will in turn reply with which will include address, driving directions,and a cell contact number.
We are prepared to write a contract on Sunday, and a cash deposit of $5000 will be required.
Being this is the first time this property has been on the market for 10 years and is priced to sell, we do expect a contract by the end of the day.
Also, the property was used as a weekend rental previously,prior to the recent tenant that was there for the past 5 years, renting for about $850 per week. The new owner may want to consider this concept again.
The dock permit lottery was last Wednesday, Nov. 4th, and there are no more dock permits available on Lanier. We do expect properties with dock permits to skyrocket in the Spring, hence there is not a lot of negotiation room.
