5188 Watchmans Cove presents a rare combination of modern construction and lifestyle-focused design in Stephens Point, a gated 55+ active adult community moments from Lake Lanier. Listed at $729,000 (MLS 10756121), this 2022-built home provides 4,264 square feet of finished living on a low-maintenance 0.16-acre lot in Hall County and delivers four bedrooms, three full bathrooms and zero half baths across an adaptable single-level plan with a fully finished walk-out terrace.
Outside, the property is arranged for privacy and low upkeep while still feeling like a wooded retreat. A covered rocking-chair front porch welcomes guests and frames quiet mornings, while the fenced backyard combines a covered rear deck, an open paver patio and a luxury spa surrounded by mature trees for a private outdoor entertaining zone and serene wooded outlooks.
Step inside to wide-plank luxury flooring that flows through principal rooms and sets a contemporary tone. The kitchen is built for serious entertaining and everyday ease, anchored by a dramatic granite island that exceeds nine feet in length. Clean white cabinetry, a subway tile backsplash and upgraded stainless appliances including a convection oven and gas cooktop deliver a crisp, efficient workspace that opens to a bright dining nook and a comfortable family room with trey ceiling and a gas fireplace.
The main-floor primary suite is thoughtfully appointed with a generous sitting area and its own outdoor balcony for treetop views. The ensuite bath features dual granite vanities, an oversized walk-in tiled shower and a large walk-in closet with direct access to the laundry room, creating streamlined daily routines and resort-style comfort without compromise.
The finished terrace level acts as a second living wing and expands the home's flexibility. This walk-out lower level includes a second family room, a game area and a well-equipped wet bar with a beverage refrigerator, ice maker and large wine cooler for effortless entertaining. Additional spaces include a guest bedroom with an adjacent full bath finished with a custom-tiled shower, a dedicated home gym and an expansive home office that includes a walk-in closet for storage or dual-purpose use.
Stephens Point is built around active adult living and waterfront amenities. Residents enjoy a clubhouse with lake views, a large community pool, lighted pickleball and tennis courts and a private 14-slip courtesy dock on deep water for easy Lake Lanier access. The neighborhood of 174 homes supports a full calendar of clubs, social activities and events for those seeking community connection.
Location and schools support a balanced lifestyle: short drives bring you to historic downtown Flowery Branch and Gainesville, and I-985 provides quick access to regional shopping, dining and the North Georgia mountains for weekend recreation. The home sits in the West Hall High School district, with West Hall Middle School and Everwood Elementary serving younger students. Annual taxes are listed at $4,920.
