Overview
Description
Looking for a true lakefront retreat in Athens? This 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath home sits on a full acre in the gated Waters Edge community, with direct frontage on a private 328-acre lake — and it's ready for its next chapter. A grand oak tree welcomes you before you even reach the door, setting the tone for a property built around calm, connection, and water views. Inside, oversized windows pull the lake into nearly every room, so the scenery never feels far away. This home was designed to flex with how you live: three separate living areas give everyone room to spread out, while the sun-drenched kitchen, breakfast nook, and great room form one easy, connected hub for everyday life and weekend gatherings alike. A private sauna adds a spa-like touch you won't find in most lakefront listings. Every bedroom includes its own bath and generous closet space, and the primary suite is conveniently located on the main floor for single-level living. Storage is no afterthought here — the attached garage and abundant additional space mean kayaks, paddleboards, and all your lake gear have a home too. Step outside and the real magic happens. A two-story dock puts lake activities steps from your door, while the fire pit sets the scene for evening s'mores and stories under the stars. Morning coffee on the water, sunset gatherings with friends — this backyard does it all. As a Waters Edge resident, you'll also enjoy a resort-style pool, pickleball courts, a wildlife preserve, and a private marina — all within a secure, meticulously maintained neighborhood just outside Athens. Schedule your private showing today and see why 5848 Lago Vista is the true private lakefront lifestyle you've been searching for.
