Some properties are listed. This one is unveiled. Behind private electronic gates, 3.76 fully fenced acres of manicured lawn roll gently to the deep waters of Lake Lanier - and to a lakefront lifestyle that cannot be replicated: open big-water views, a permitted single-slip dock with sundeck and swim platform, and a brand-new resort pool complex - infinity-edge design, sculpted fountains, a flaming fire bowl, sun-splashed tanning deck, and private spa - completed just this summer. The residence is a 2024 architect-designed European masterwork - 4,762 square feet of true single-level living beneath a skyline of 10-to-16-foot ceilings: modified vaults, double treys, tongue-and-groove and coffered wood. Underfoot, polished concrete floors shimmer with hand-applied gold fleck; overhead, cascading custom light installations spill from the foyer, living, and dining rooms. Authentic Versace designer tile, interior French doors, bespoke millwork, and smart lighting complete a level of finish rarely attempted, let alone achieved. The kitchen commands attention: a sculptural faceted island, Sub-Zero refrigeration, double ovens, pot filler, custom cabinetry, granite and quartz surfaces, and a full butler's service with wet bar for effortless entertaining. The living room's water-vapor fireplace dances behind glass - one of two, the second warming the primary suite. And what a suite it is: a private wing with its own lake-view sitting room, two custom-fitted dressing closets, and a bath conceived as a personal spa - four sinks across two floating double vanities, a sculptural free-standing soaking tub, and a double-headed shower wrapped floor to ceiling in designer tile. Four additional bedrooms, three further designer baths and a jewel-box powder room, a laundry suite with dog-wash station, and a fitted mud room complete the plan. Security and self-sufficiency are absolute: ballistic-rated exterior doors, windows, and garage doors; dual water heaters; dual electric panels; full irrigation; and aluminum perimeter fencing with electronic gated entry. More than 1,100 square feet of covered porches with wood-inlaid ceilings frame the water - and now overlook poolside evenings lit by firelight. A four-car garage with custom glass doors - plus parking for six more - welcomes a collection. No HOA. New construction of this caliber, on acreage, on deep water, with dock in hand, arrives on Lake Lanier perhaps once in a generation. Private tours by appointment.

Two Ways to Hunt

Browse it yourself,
or hand us the brief.

A portal shows you what is listed. A private search puts a person on what you actually want, including the houses that never make it to a portal.

Every Listing, Full Treatment

What a Rykman
listing page carries.

When live inventory connects, each property opens into a page built like our listings deserve. Here is the anatomy.

The Story

Presentation first.

Editorial photography, the property's point of view, and the facts that make its value legible in the first thirty seconds.

The Numbers

The full picture.

Price history, taxes, schools, and area context in one place, so you evaluate the deal, not just the photos.

The Move

One tap to act.

Book the showing or text the question directly from the page. Speed matters when the right house surfaces.

Ready When You Are

Never house-hunt
alone again.

The search is the easy part. The read, the offer, and the win are where representation earns its keep.
