About this property

Luxury Chateau With Soaring Views Over Lake Lanier

In an expansive but private cove overlooking a scenic view of tranquil blue waters of Lake Lanier, there is a luxurious sanctuary where time stands still.
Gated masterpiece ten-bedroom estate instilled with Old World charm is the epitome of elegance and comfort. Extensive grounds are yours to explore, numerous picturesque sceneries such as a fire pit area, and scenic terrace, swimming pool and heated spa.

Entering the custom-made castle doors at the main level, you will find the two-story impressive foyer framed by a curved staircase. An arched entrance will lead you into the two-story grand room crowned by a stone fireplace and floor to ceiling windows overlooking an open terrace with breathtaking views of the lake.

In a fully equipped Tuscan-style gourmet kitchen you will find a build-in authentic italian pizza oven, professional-size griddle, and built-in warming trays. Your guests can enjoy picturesque views from a spacious breakfast area or sit down in a more formal dining room at the 12 foot dining table. You can nestle in for a quiet conversation, a good book or a game of chess by a fireplace in the paneled, English-style library or the cozy rustic log-framed family room.

The master suite on the main level provides a private and spacious space with two sitting areas equipped with a wet bar, his and hers separate closets, a massive master bathroom with jacuzzi bath built into a travertine pedestal.

A curved set of stairs will lead you to the west wing of the upper level that hosts a cozy study and five unique luxuriously set private bedrooms, each equipped with its own separate full bath. In the east wing of the house, there is a large game room and an adjacent nautical style private bedroom suite with a separate kitchen, a private bedroom with a queen-size bed and a full bath, as well as another separate room equipped with 4 bunk beds.

The terrace level is an elegant spacious area with exquisitely crafted bar with antique mirrors, a paneled billiard room, poker table, Parisian style salon, and a movie theater that fits perfectly for hosting lavish social gatherings. Through two sets of French doors, the indoor space blends beautifully with the lower terrace area overlooking the lake. A private hallway will lead you to another beautifully appointed bedroom with full bathroom privately tucked away.

With accommodations and amenities that will comfortably meet the needs of up to 30 in-house guests, it can serve as a perfect option for large family gatherings and corporate retreats that will turn into the memories of a lifetime.

the Master Bedroom on the main level, 8 bedroom on the upper level, 1 bedroom on the lower level (designed for elderly). no elevator. however, there is an easy slope to the lower level from the back of the house.

Beautiful Home in a beautiful setting
The home is amazing and it was such a great place to bring a large group. As other reviews have said, it could use some updates, but we thoroughly enjoyed the place and will comeback next year! The property is not in Buford and it was listed as such. It is in Gainesville on the backside of the lake. Hopefully VRBO corrects this. The owner was great to work with.

Good venue for big family gathering
Our family of about 30 enjoyed a week here at the end of December. The house is so big, it is almost disorienting at first! Our people loved the large bedrooms with baths; the play spaces inside and out; the short walk to Bethel Park with 3 great foot trails and boat ramp and beach access; the commercial quality kitchen with a griddle big enough for 15 pancakes at a time and real commercial pizza oven. And the spaces you could go for a bit of quiet. The owner met me at the check in, which I really appreciate. And he responded quickly when the Jacuzzi was not working on day one, getting a repair person out same day which is great. But overall communications with owner were sparse and not very responsive in the 10 or so months between contract and our stay. He only communicates through the vrbo app. So, he responded when I really needed him to. Several mattresses (7 of 10) need replacement, some very badly. If you have a group with sensitive backs, this is deal breaker. As others have noted, there are some mice in the pantry (so put food in tubs). I wish we could have gotten the fireplace in the library working. It was ideal fireplace weather, and that is a beautiful retreat. Also, we had one game table that was already broken collapse while there. We took pictures and notified him and the owner was good about not having issues with it. Thanks for an excellent stay with great memories!

Awesome house but need major TLC!
The house is huge & accommodates many people with lots to do but it needs major updating & a better cleaning service. We had to run straight out for cleaning supplies to clean mold off toilet seats & get Drano for many sinks that wouldn’t drain. The pool table had sticks with no tips so my husband fixed those. We never got the fireplaces working & it took quite the effort to get the hot tub running. They need new couches all through the house. They should be embarrassed by the wear & tear of them!!! The kitchen is large & great for space but was a challenge to cook thanksgiving dinner in. They need new appliances badly. Bring extra bath towels & paper products if you choose to rent here. Also.. it’s lake view but not lake access. We didn’t realize that. Great view though! So overall we just felt like for the money we spent to rent this house it should have been updated & felt nicer. The kids all felt like we were in a run down castle. It was kinda sad really! But our family time was still great and we will rent another big house again.. just not this one.

Family vacation
What a perfect place to gather our family and celebrate a chance to be together. With ages 1 to 85, our 22 member family enjoyed all the wonderful space and comfort of this expansive home! Places for work meeting when needed and lots of tables for puzzles and games. Great gathering places everywhere and rooms for movies, basketball, ping pong, etc - no end to the activities availability. Bedrooms and bath choices to accommodate everyone in comfort. Lots of cooking with an amazing pizza oven and large griddle plus the “normal” kitchen. A pantry filled with many sizes of cooking equipment and various electric appliances. Oodles of dishes and silver. Perfect for a large group. Of course, the pool was busy every day and the hot tub a nightly past time. Lots of visiting on porches and the beautiful views of Lake Lanier - a few days with a boat rental and fishing added to all the fun. All in all - a perfect place. Thanks to Victor for his timely attention. Thanks for a great week!! Tom and Pat

Large home
It was very roomy. Many broken parts and outdated decor. Two tv's working with apple for the whole house. Pool was great as well as location. Not spotless. Toilets clogged easily. Many ants by the pool. Landscaping was not optimal. Loved the pizza oven. Ice makers didn't work anywhere but the laundry and it was small for a place that could sleep 30. Sleeping that many required sofa beds. Absolutely great entertainment....chess, roulette, poker and pool table, badmitten, volleyball, theater room, dance room, some pool toys, hot tub.
