About 5021 Elrod Circle
For sale as RESIDENCE or as POTENTIAL COMMERCIAL. Two parcels 256-113 and 256-176, approximately 5.01 acres with custom-built home, oversized garage, and finished pavilion overlooking a private stocked pond. Located just minutes from Lake Lanier and approximately 5 minutes from GA-400, the property offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and accessibility. The secluded setting is surrounded by mature trees and centered around a private underground spring-fed pond stocked with fish. The pond area includes swimming, fishing, boating, a rope swing, fire pit, antique working "dinner" bell, and expansive open grounds. The large finished pavilion (approximately 2,000 square feet) sits directly beside the pond and has been used for church services, Vacation Bible School, church camps, retreats, and entertainment events over many years. The pavilion includes central HVAC, a kitchen, and two full bathrooms, and has previously accommodated sleeping arrangements for several dozen guests during camps and retreats. With its scenic waterfront setting and flexible layout, the property also offers strong potential as a wedding venue, photography venue, retreat center, event space, or other entertainment-related enterprise. The home itself was custom built in 2000 by the owner, a licensed general contractor in the State of Georgia. The residence features four bedrooms, three and one-half baths, with additional flexible space in the basement suitable for extra sleeping areas, recreation, storage, or other uses. Interior features include hardwood flooring in the living room and primary bedroom, a fireplace with gas logs, custom tile in the kitchen and dining area, and custom tile work in the primary bathroom. Multiple porches overlook the pond and surrounding property, including a large covered and screened porch directly off the dining area with exceptional water views. Exterior features include HardiPlank siding and an architectural shingle roof. The detached garage is approximately 1,395 square feet and includes a working car lift, 80-gallon air compressor, and extensive storage space. Quite a lot to offer at this secluded retreat!
