We Say Goodbye To This Wonderful Lake Lanier Cottage At 1092 Chestatee Point In Dawsonville!

Yesterday, we said goodbye to this wonderful Lake Lanier cottage located on the shores of the Chestatee River at 1092 Chestatee Point in Dawsonville.

This quaint cottage was a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home located just off Harmony Church Road in Dawsonville. Custom built by its original owners, the home featured deep, open waters on the Chestatee River. It had a versatile, open floor plan, with two complete living spaces, and even included two gorgeous kitchens with breakfast bars. It also had an enormous upstairs loft, a flexible living area, a cozy Tennessee River Rock fireplace, hardwood floors, exposed beams, and a rustic charm that was simply captivating! Outside, there was a relaxing 16 by 14 screened porch with scenic Lake Lanier views of the Chestatee River. The property was located on a level lot with easy access to the single-slip, grandfathered boathouse.  This home had a lot of lake and mountain character. It was simply a fantastic buy!  The final sales price on the home was $400,000.  Many thanks to James Lyons of Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby's International for his expert representation of the purchasers in this transaction.  Here's a look at the property video!

The Scenic Waterfront Lot At 8082 Beachwood Drive In Murrayville On Lake Lanier Has Sold!

Yesterday, we celebrated the sale of the scenic, waterfront Lake Lanier lot listing located at 8082 Beachwood Drive in Murrayville. This property is a wonderful, buildable lot with a relatively level topography located on the northern arm of the Chestatee River. Our sellers originally purchased the lot back in the 1990's as a family getaway and a place to go to enjoy the lake, fishing and other lake recreation that Lanier offers.

Over the years, however, our clients' children grew up, graduated from high school, moved to other areas, and the family gradually found themselves going up to the lake retreat less often. After considering their dwindling use of the Lake Lanier lot that they had once enjoyed as a family, they decided to sell the property early this year. The family that purchased this waterfront property yesterday will soon build a wonderful new home that their family can use to enjoy recreation at Lake Lanier. So in a way, this sale was both a little sad, and yet very happy. We will witness the full cycle of purchasing, owning, selling and now the purchasing process again, as the cycle goes for many properties on this lake. 

Congratulations, to the new owners of 8082 Beachwood Drive! As we understand it, Whitmire Homes in Gainesville will be the chosen builder for the new home that is planned for this lake property. Expect to see a groundbreaking in the next couple of weeks, and then a new, wonderful, Lake Lanier home in approximately 8 months. A happy ending for sure, and a new beginning for a family looking for good times and memorable, family outings on Lake Lanier!

Autumn Was Breezing In Along The Chestatee River At Lake Lanier This Morning As We Showed Lake Lanier Homes For Sale!

It's another gorgeous Autumn weekend here at Lake Lanier.  It was absolutely wonderful to get outside and show property this morning along the Chestatee River in Gainesville on Lake Lanier. While it was a bit overcast, it was cool, breezy and very much like Fall in North Georgia.  I was able to pick off a few photos of the Chestatee River as I looked out across the deep water towards Hall County. The leaves have not peaked with their dramatic color change just yet, but in a few weeks it will certainly be upon us.  Here's a short video from this morning!

U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers Pitching First Marina On Lake Lanier In 30-Plus Years!

Wow! Could this news really be true? This news article just came across my desk courtesy of Jeff Gill with the Gainesville Times. If this news were to become true it could be huge for the northwestern side of Lake Lanier along the Chestatee River. I have a home in this area and personally would love to see a marina and a gas stop along this stretch of the lake. For years, residents in this area have looked only to Athens Boat Club as the only gas stop around. Athens Boat Club was not mentioned in this article, but has always done a fine job in their own right for providing gasoline to boaters on this area of Lanier.  A new marina at Bolding Mill Campground, however, would be so convenient and could really be special if it had a dining area for visitors. Now this is just my opinion, and I know that many others residents of the area may not share it. Here is the link to the article by Jeff Gill. What are your thoughts? Feel free to leave a comment below!

Lake Lanier Photos From Today's Boat Ride Near Dawsonville!

It's sure starting to feel like there is a touch of Autumn in the air here on Lake Lanier.  Temps today were in the low to mid 80's and the lake was incredible!  With schools back in session Lake Lanier was far less crowded today.  As a matter of fact, on most of our boat ride today, it seemed more like a week day than a Saturday!  We started out in Gainesville at about 2:30 P.M. and headed north on the Chestatee River all of the way to Murrayville.  Simply gorgeous!  Here are a few photos from our trip!  With these temps and a quiet lake, we'll be back out tomorrow for some more incredible Lake Lanier boating.  Now is one of the best times to enjoy the lake!

Lake Lanier Father's Day & Lake Homes Sales Information

   














We had a relaxing weekend here on Lake Lanier.  Things were kind of quiet with Father's Day, but there was plenty of boating activity in our area of the Chestatee River on Lake Lanier.

As we evaluate recent selling activity on the lake, we noticed that lake home sales last month had an unusually strong sales price point.  Our data shows that the prices of homes sold on the lake last month averaged in the $500,000 price range. That is great news for sellers!  With that in mind, we thought that it might be a good idea to take a look at homes for sale on Lake Lanier in the price range of $500,000 to $600,000.  These homes all have a dock/dock permit on the lake.  If you are shopping for homes on Lake Lanier, and you see anything in this group that is appealing, feel free to contact us to arrange a showing!  We're always here to help!

Athens Boat Club & North End

Friday was a quiet day, and a beautiful one on the lake. We made our way to the north end of the Chestatee River on Lake Lanier and took these photos of the lake as we went. Some beautiful homes, gorgeous shoreline and a photogenic canine!
