2945 Lakeside DR Cumming, GA 30041

Set directly on Lake Lanier in Cumming's Deerwood community, this 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath home has been fully renovated, with every fixture and finish updated throughout. The 0.4-acre lot borders U.S. Army Corps of Engineers shoreline and stays private under mature trees and natural vegetation, with a level, walkable path leading down to the water. At the shoreline, a wood-and-steel dock walkway leads to a private platform dock, ideal for paddleboards, kayaks, or jet skis. A finished, insulated bonus building adds real flexibility beyond the main house: fully climate-controlled with its own mini-split heat and air and two loft areas, it is ready for a studio, workshop, home office, or hobby space. On the systems side, this one has already done its homework: a new HVAC system with all-new ductwork throughout (2024), a new septic tank and drainfield (2022), serviced again in 2026 with a new pump and electric line, supplemental foundation piers added in the crawl space (2020), and an updated underground sprinkler system with new lateral lines and zone valves (2022). Between the studs-out renovation and the mechanical updates, the next owner starts with weekends on the water, not a punch list. Deerwood sits in Forsyth County along the Lake Lanier shoreline, minutes from GA-400 and within easy reach of multiple marinas for fuel, service, and dry storage. From here it's a straight shot down GA-400 into the dining, shopping, and job centers of greater Atlanta, with the North Georgia mountains and wine country waiting in the other direction. A rare combination on Lake Lanier: a fully renovated, move-in-ready home, a private dock, and a bonus building most lake listings can't match. Come see what turnkey lake life looks like.
