Step into a world of refined mountain living at this exquisite contemporary estate in the Summit, a gated enclave just across from shimmering Lake Burton, less than 5 minutes to lake access at LaPrades Marina. Perched on over an acre of rolling, wooded landscape, this 3BD / 3BA modern masterpiece with a 1 BD / 1 BA guesthouse blends sophisticated design with the soothing sights and sounds of nature---offering seasonal lake views, high-end finishes, and the warmth of home around every corner. From the moment you arrive, a striking, well-lit entryway welcomes you, framed by mature trees, fragrant mountain air, and ample guest parking. Inside, the home is a feast for the senses: rich wood textures, soaring vaulted ceilings, and expansive JELD-WEN casement windows that bathe each space in golden natural light. Soft shiplap walls and handpicked designer fixtures create a cozy yet elevated aesthetic, while the stacked stone fireplace crackles with warmth---perfect for cool evenings. The chef's kitchen is a dream of taste and touch: sleek quartz countertops, a deep farmhouse sink, French door refrigerator, gas range, and a hidden walk-in pantry with a full coffee and beverage bar---ideal for quiet mornings and lively entertaining alike. Gather in the glamorous dining room, where massive picture windows frame verdant backyard views and a chic bar area invites evening cocktails. Wander outside to find a stunning custom stone gas firepit, inviting hot tub, and the soothing symphony of rustling leaves, birdsong, and mountain breezes. Retreat to the primary suite, a calming sanctuary with vaulted ceilings, peaceful views, and a reclaimed barn door opening to an ensuite spa bath. Here, indulge in a luxurious oval soaking tub, quartz vanity, infinity-glass shower, and custom walk-in closet---a sensory escape designed for relaxation. On the terrace level, enjoy a second media/living room with a full kitchenette, a spacious second suite, and a third bedroom and bath. Glass doors lead to a stone terrace, surrounded by lush greenery and the scent of pine and wildflowers. The detached 3-car garage is more than a place to park-fully climate-controlled, it doubles as a workshop, recreation space, or dream studio. Above it, the 1BD / 1BA guesthouse is a private, beautifully appointed haven with a full kitchen, airy living and dining areas, a charming reading nook, and its own balcony overlooking the lake---a perfect retreat for guests or lucrative rental potential. With over 1,000 square feet of decks, patios, and porches, this home invites you to feel the seasons, breathe the mountain air, and truly live the lake life---without the waterfront maintenance. And with two whole-house generators, peace of mind comes standard.

This property truly offers the best of both worlds: private, luxurious mountain living with lake access and vacation-like amenities at your fingertips. FEE SIMPLE ownership means flexibility, freedom, and rental potential---an increasingly rare opportunity in this coveted corner of northeast Georgia.
