Congratulations To Our Latest Lake Lanier Home Buyers On The Purchase Of This Perfect Waterfront Home On Thompson Creek In Dawsonville!

Congratulations To Our Latest Lake Lanier Home Buyers On The Purchase Of This Perfect Waterfront Home On Thompson Creek In Dawsonville!




Located at 600 Woodland Circle in Dawsonville, this home made a perfect match for our clients as a full time residence with easy access to the waterfront, great lake views of Thompson Creek, excellent deep water and a spectacular 32 X 32 Browns Bridge Dock! The home was previously gutted and rebuilt in 2004, so by Lake Lanier comparisons, it was pretty modern. The home had the perfect open plan, gorgeous new wide plank hardwood floors, modern granite kitchen, a spacious romantic owners suite with veranda, plus two guest rooms. The finished terrace level featured a bonus room and full bath (which could be used as a fourth bedroom or media room), a wet bar, large recreation room & a screened porch with overhead metal ceiling and gutter system! Located on arguably one of the best lake streets in Dawson County at Woodland Circle, this property was one of the greatest values we've seen all year!

Cute front entryway to 600 Woodland Circle!

Originally listed back in 2010 at $790,000 for a short period of time, we knew that this was going to be a hot listing when it hit the market this year at $689,000!  We wasted no time in alerting our clients to the new opportunity, and they jumped at the chance to get this fantastic home at an even lower price.  Many thanks to Sheila Davis of the Norton Agency for her knowledgeable assistance in representing the sellers in the transaction.  We are thrilled that we were able to help our buyer clients secure an excellent full time residence with tremendous features at an excellent price!

Our Newest Lake Lanier Waterfront Home Listing Is The Quintessential Lake Lanier Cabin & The Perfect Lake Hideaway! Come Home To 344 Tom McGinnis Road On Lake Lanier In Dawsonville!

I have to admit that I'm an old softy when it comes to Lake Lanier cottages and cabins from the early days of North Georgia and the historic homes of the 1950's, 60's and 70's.  That's especially true of the classic historic homes here at Lake Lanier!  So when we recently listed 344 Sam's Road, my love of this place, its privacy and history just lured me in!

Take a look at this fantastic representation of a true Lake Lanier cabin originating from that bygone era!  Come fall in love with this charming Lake Lanier cottage with over 1.7 acres of private land, Lake Lanier views and a peaceful waterfront setting which can be enjoyed while relaxing on the spectacular 24X32 foot covered, single-slip dock with party deck.  All of it located on one of the most scenic areas of Lake Lanier at Thompson Creek in Dawsonville, and just a short boat ride away from Athens Boat Club!




This perfectly maintained home includes three bedrooms and 2 full baths on a finished basement with a one car drive under garage.  Complete with hardwood floors, classic tongue and groove ceilings, exposed beams, an incredibly enjoyable screened porch, and a lake setting with vista views to die for! This traditional, classic, historic home has been meticulously maintained and excels in providing all of the joys of true Lake Lanier living!  The way it was supposed to be, the way it was in the early days when this delightful cabin was built in the early 1960's... Come enjoy the experiences at this one of a kind lake home!

Congratulations To Our Latest Clients On The Purchase Of This Extraordinary Lake Lanier Waterfront Home At 5155 Indian Circle In Gainesville!

Last week, we helped fulfill the dreams of our latest Lake Lanier waterfront home buyer clients with their purchase of 5155 Indian Circle in Gainesville on Lake Lanier.

Lake side at 5155 Indian Circle, Gainesville

Backyard 5155 Indian Circle, Gainesville

Grandfathered gravel road to dock at 5155 Indian Circle on Lake Lanier

Double slip dock with party deck!

This was a large family style home with sweeping views of the waterfront, a double slip dock with party deck and a grandfathered road that runs all the way down to the lake! The home was listed with five full bedrooms, five full baths and one half bath for $700,000.  Built-in 2006 this two-story, traditional, craftsman home is an incredible Lake Lanier retreat. The floor plan was light, bright and open! More features included a beautiful, modern kitchen opening to an enormous family room / dining room and fireplace, with French doors on the back of the room for entry to the deck! There were actually three master bedrooms in this home, one upstairs, one on the main, and one on the terrace level. It proved to be the perfect floor plan for our clients' two families.  The property size was between one third and 1/2 acre with 80 feet of water frontage on Lake Lanier.

Large modern kitchen

Greatroom with stack stone fireplace

One of the more important experiences that we encountered while home shopping with these clients was the lack of suitable inventory for them in the $500,000-$600,000 price range. We shopped for a number of months and saw many homes, but it wasn't until we upped the price range to $700,000 that our clients were able to locate this perfect property!  This has been a common occurrence on Lake Lanier this year. With inventory tight and prices starting to climb, many buyers have been forced to increase their price range in order to find the right home on the water. Median prices of homes for sale on Lake Lanier are still coming in around the high $500,000 price range.

Our latest clients are set to create many fun memories of experiences on the water at 5155 Indian Circle on Lake Lanier! Let us assist you in finding your memories and your waterfront home on this great Georgia lake!

Lake Lanier Homes For Sale Under $300,000! Here's What To Expect!

We have been out almost every day for the past week showing Lake Lanier waterfront homes priced in the $200,000 to $300,000 price range.  Most of our visits have been focused on the south end of the lake, in Cumming, Buford and Flowery Branch.  While there are numerous homes available, this price range can often represent a challenge to eager buyers.  The obstacle can be about finding the perfect home that has enough space and separation of living areas, but also has a waterfront lot that will sustain lake activities should the lake drop six feet below full pool.  As of today, Lake Lanier is about a foot over full pool, so all of the properties that we saw had water under the dock and the waterfront was very inviting.

When Fall arrives and cool weather sets in, however, our lake level is likely to drop.  Because of this frequent occurrence, we like to look for properties that have at least five to six feet of water at the dock now, with plenty of room to maneuver and push the dock as the water goes down and out many of these coves.  In the given price range, it can be challenging to find homes that can keep the dock floating during the Fall and Winter, but especially during a dry season and extended drought.  Be careful in your selections, carry your tape measure and measure the water depth at the dock.  Consider the size and type of boat that you will use, and the navigation issues that may be faced during low water times.  Kayaks and canoes can find nice homes in some of these tight coves, but ski boats and cruisers might not. Learn to recognize alternative benefits and activities during shallow water times such as fishing from the bank and walking the shoreline.  I often see shallow water coves that might not be suitable for boats, but offer a spectacular environment for bass fishing!
