Lyonesse Estates · 8510 Blue Heron DR

Description

Some homes are built - others are composed. Every element chosen with intention, every system engineered for a life without compromise. This home is the latter: a brand-new custom lakefront estate on Lake Lanier where world-class style, resort-caliber amenities, and the tranquility of prime water frontage converge into something truly singular. Situated on a level, walk-to-shore cul-de-sac lot within Lyonesse Estates - a small, exclusive gated community in Forsyth County - this ranch plan over a fully finished walk-out terrace level was designed from the ground up for the buyer who understands that luxury isn't a feature list; it's a feeling. Interior finishes and fixtures were curated by Cotton & Steel Design, and it shows in every detail, from the custom KBDG cabinetry and Azzura Crystal Quartzite countertops to the iron stair railings, stained white oak front doors, and soaring 16-foot vaulted beamed great room and kitchen. The outdoor experience is nothing short of resort-grade. A 41' 25' heated saltwater pool with a three-sided vanishing edge dissolves seamlessly into the lake horizon, while a 12' 8' raised spillover spa - built for up to 12 guests - is ready for year-round use via the Jandy iAquaLink WiFi smart control system. Corner fire bowls, color-change LED lighting, an integrated in-floor pop-up cleaning system, and a poolside outdoor rinse shower complete the picture. The covered lake-view deck features a gas fireplace, cable railings, and an outdoor kitchen - the kind of space where Sunday afternoons stretch effortlessly into evening. A covered boat slip at the community dock with party deck and accessed from the cul-de-sac puts you on the water within minutes. Inside, the chef's kitchen reads like a professional showroom: a 60" Wolf 6-burner professional gas range with dual ovens, double griddle, and pot-filler; a 72" panel-front SubZero refrigerator and freezer column pair; a Miele VitroLine built-in coffee system; a Scotsman nugget ice maker; and a dedicated scullery for seamless prep and post-event cleanup. This kitchen doesn't just perform - it performs beautifully. The primary suite is a private world unto itself. Wake to unobstructed lake views, retreat to a sitting room or home office with a gas fireplace, and dress in an expansive, island-appointed dressing room. The spa bath features a three-head walk-in shower with Brizo Invari fixtures and a Mr. Steam system, a freestanding Kohler claw-foot garden tub, LED-illuminated vanity mirrors, and smart toilet. A hidden-door safe room completes the suite - because true luxury includes peace of mind. The terrace level is a world of its own: a great room with a custom bar and full entertaining area, home theater, gym and game room, private sauna, theater room, two additional bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a pool half-bath for indoor-outdoor flow - all walking out directly to the pool and lake. The home's technology infrastructure is just as thoughtful as its design. The Qolsys Panel 4 wireless smart home system connects over 100 devices in a seamlessly integrated ecosystem that puts control at your fingertips. The six-car garage with LiftMaster MyQ smart doors offers ample space for vehicles, watercraft storage, and weekend toys. Closets are pre-framed for a future elevator, and a 1-year 2-10 Buyer Home Warranty provides confidence from day one. With a prime Lake Lanier location just minutes from Port Royale Marina, convenient access to GA-400, and within the top-rated Forsyth County school district, this isn't simply a new home on the water. It's the standard by which everything else will be measured. A complete features list is available upon request.
