3551 Dockside Shores Drive, Gainesville, GA – Family-Friendly Gated Home Near Lake Lanier with Gourmet Island

published on May 21, 2026 by Petra Bauer
This nearly new 2022 residence in The Shores at Lynncliff Cove combines contemporary design, generous indoor living space and a private 0.81-acre setting just minutes from Lake Lanier. Priced at $545,000 (MLS 10768347), the 3,050 square-foot plan delivers four bedrooms, three full bathrooms and one half bath across two well-placed levels that support both everyday family life and weekend entertaining.

Arrive through the gated entry into a neighborhood that emphasizes low-maintenance living and community amenities. Inside, bright, open rooms create a comfortable flow from the cooking area into dining and living zones. The kitchen is equipped for serious meal prep with a large granite island for prep and casual seating, stainless appliances, a striking chimney-style vent hood, and built-in wall oven and microwave framed by an upgraded tile backsplash and ample cabinets.

The main floor includes a guest bedroom with convenient access to a full bath, making this level ideal for visiting family or long-term guests. Upstairs the primary suite is a private retreat with a spa-inspired bath and a sizable walk-in closet. A flexible loft on the second floor expands options for a media room, home office, play zone, or fitness area.

Outdoor living is a core part of the plan. A covered game-day porch with a built-in fireplace extends the living area and provides a sheltered spot for grilling, lounging, or hosting friends when the weather calls for a cozy evening outdoors. The lot's 0.81-acre scale offers privacy and room to stage gardens, play areas, or a future hardscape project.

Community features strengthen the Lake Lanier lifestyle: neighborhood pool, playground, community dock, and secure boat and RV storage provide easy access to water recreation without the maintenance of a private dock. Quick access to GA 400 and I-985 makes commutes and weekend escapes straightforward.

Practical details buyers want to know: the home sits in Hall County within the Chestatee High School attendance zone, Chestatee Middle School, and Sardis Elementary School. Taxes are approximately $5,000 per year. There is no finished basement. The home was built in 2022 and offers modern systems and finishes that reduce immediate maintenance needs.

This property is a strong match for families seeking Gainesville GA homes for sale near Lake Lanier, buyers who want a gated setting with walk-up convenience, and anyone who values a cook-friendly kitchen plus flexible living areas.
