Congratulations To Our latest Lake Lanier Home Buyers On The Purchase Of This Log Cabin Getaway On The Chestatee River In Dawsonville!

The Wonderful & Charming Lake Lanier Cabin At 344 Tom McGinnis Road In Dawsonville Has Sold!

The Wonderful & Charming Lake Lanier Cabin At 344 Tom McGinnis Road In Dawsonville Has Sold!  We had a strong feeling when we listed this idyllic little waterfront getaway that it wouldn't take long for it to capture the hearts of a new family of owners.  The property was originally listed on July 1, 2015 and was under contract 19 days later.  Today was our closing day.

The Lake Lanier Cabin At 344 Tom McGinnis Road In Dawsonville!

The quaint kitchen and dining area!

The cozy great room! 

Rustic porch setting at 344 Tom McGinnis on Lake Lanier!

Easy & relaxing dock setting along Thompson Creek!

What a fun property to market and sell!  This home had incredible charm, a true historic Lake Lanier getaway feeling, a great water/dock setting and a memorable, rural character.  It just had a way of taking you back in time!  As a matter of fact, during the title examination, it was determined that the first community road agreement was created in the early 1900's for these classic cabins along Tom McGinnis that is still a meandering gravel road that follows the shoreline of Lake Lanier!




Many thanks to my colleague and Realtor partner, Mandy Hooks, who directed her clients to this wonderful setting!  I just know that the new owners will have years of fun times and the making of new memories in this classic Lake Lanier cabin!

Congratulations To Our Most Recent Lake Lanier Home Buyers On The Purchase Of Their Villa Home In The Overlook At Harbour Point Yacht Club!

Congratulations To Our Most Recent Lake Lanier Home Buyers On The Purchase Of Their Villa Home In The Overlook At Harbour Point Yacht Club!

This fantastic property was located at 3476 Marina Crest Drive in Gainesville in the well-known resort community of Harbour Point! What a fantastic section of the Harbour Point community, where yard maintenance is included in the quarterly dues and the lifestyle is easy-going with the option for a slip at the community marina. This home was very well-maintained and had many extras.


Originally built by John Wieland Homes in 1998, this home included four bedrooms, three full baths and one half bath on three living levels. There was a full finished basement, a bonus room/office upstairs, a recreation room and additional office/study on the terrace level, an open kitchen, great room, and separate dining room.  All on a beautifully landscaped lot with a lush courtyard.



The homes in The Overlook are known for being deceptively large yet somewhat compact on smaller lots. They have drive under garages and easy access to the tennis courts, clubhouse, swimming pool, cafe, gym, and marina.  All of these amenities are inside the gates of the community right on Lake Lanier!This home was originally listed in 2013 and was on the market for quite some time. Our buyers were able to get an excellent deal on the property and move right in!  This helped in making it an easier transition for them to relocate from their former home in Houston, Texas.

This lovely Harbour Point property was expertly listed by Linda Morris of Harbour Point Realty at $379,900.  Many thanks to Linda and her staff for her representation of the sellers and for facilitating a smooth transaction!

Congratulations To Our Latest Lake Lanier Home Buyer Clients On The Purchase Of This Incredible Waterfront Home At Thompson Creek On Lake Lanier!

Congratulations To Our Latest Lake Lanier Home Buyer Clients On The Purchase Of This Incredible Waterfront Home!

1886 Kilough Church Road in Dawsonville On Lake Lanier

The single-slip covered dock with party deck and boat hoist!

Open kitchen and dining area with hardwood floors!

Bright secondary bedroom!

Another relaxing bedroom!

View of Lake Lanier and the dock from the upstairs deck off of the master bedroom!

Located in the highly desirable Kilough Church Road area of Dawsonville, our Lake Lanier home buyers got an excellent property at 1886 Kilough Church Road, which was originally listed at $474,900. Located in the cul-de-sac and on a point lot, this property had a level walk, grass to the waters edge, and tremendous views of excellent deep water along Thompson Creek at Lake Lanier!





The Home included three bedrooms and three full baths. It was originally built in 1981 as a cottage in the upscale lake neighborhood of Sunrise. This was a two story home with hardiplank exterior, lots of hardwood floors, an open kitchen and tremendous views of the lake from the great room and from the big screen porch out back. The master bedroom was located on the second floor in the back of the home, and had a large deck also overlooking the lake!  The neighborhood of Sunrise provided another unique feature in that there is a homeowners association in place and there is access to tennis courts and an outdoor pavilion. 

This home was built on an approximate one third acre lot with very few trees, except for a few hardwoods that provided some very nice shade areas for sitting out on the back lawn. With a setting like this one, you never wanted to leave!  So our clients elected to stay!  Even after establishing the contract to purchase, the home continued to get many desperate inquiries and verbal offers which proved a testament to the incredible lake setting of the property.  

I would like to extend a big thank you to Terry Cooksey with Harry Norman Realtors for his skilled service in representing the sellers in this transaction!  Terry was always polite and easy to work with! That always makes it easier for us when we represent our buyers at Lake Lanier!

Congratulations To Our Most Recent Lake Lanier Home Buyers!

Congratulations to our most recent Lake Lanier home buyers on the purchase of their waterfront home located at 7975 Lanier Drive in Cumming, Georgia. This waterfront home located in the subdivision of Deer Creek Shores was originally built in 1976 as a ranch home with a full basement.

The house was a four bedroom, three bath home with four side brick construction. It was situated on one of the rare lots on Lake Lanier where the private property actually goes beyond the sea wall and into the lake. It included an over sized dock with deep water access and two slips. It also included a small screened outbuilding which featured a kitchenette and electricity all located down near the shoreline. This property was one of the rare finds on the south end of the lake surrounded by multi-million dollar homes. Our buyers plan a large renovation and remodeling but hope to keep much of the original look and feel of the home. With nearly a 1 acre lot, there will be plenty of room for expansion. With approximately 130 feet of shoreline this property will make for an excellent getaway home and eventually a full-time residence. We can't wait to see the remodel and the reinvention of this classic Lake Lanier home in a fantastic neighborhood!

The property was originally listed at $519,900. Our buyers came away with an excellent purchase at $485,000! Many thanks to the co-op listing agent Pat Junod with Dorsey Alston Realtors for her hard work on the seller's behalf.

Our Most Recent Lake Lanier Home Sale! See The Chestatee River From This Wonderful Lake Lanier Chalet!

We want to congratulate our clients who closed on their fantastic Lake Lanier home on Wednesday April 30th of last week. Located at 7725 Elm Cir. in Murrayville Georgia, this Lake Lanier home was located on a point lot in the subdivision of Mountain View Lake Estates.

Lake Lanier View From 7725 Elm Circle in Murrayville, GA. 

Built in 1982 this one-and-a-half story A-frame, chalet had three bedrooms and two baths. Two bedrooms and one full bath were located on the main level and a loft style bedroom with full bath was located upstairs. There was a large wall of windows facing the lake which provided an excellent long-range view down the Chestatee River towards Chestatee Golf Resort. With a wraparound deck and a full unfinished basement, this little A-frame was hard to beat for the money. Located on a .34 acre lot this property included approximately 162 feet of waterfront footage on Lake Lanier. Also included was a single slip, covered boat dock on very nice, deep Chestatee River waters.

Overall, this property was an excellent value at the sales price of $320,000! With the position of the house on the lot there is plenty of room to expand the footprint of the home, possibly enlarging the kitchen and expanding the decks. There is a small cove off the main body of the Lake along the right side of the property, and out back just an the enormous view of the Chestatee River.

We feel certain that this will prove to be a wise investment as Lake Lanier properties continue to appreciate over the long-term. Buying wisely means paying attention to the dirt first and the structure is secondary. This purchase was a prime example of picking a property in an excellent setting with a superb view and good Lake Lanier waterfrontage and depth in order to effectively resist drought conditions and dry weather patterns.

Lake Lanier Real Estate, Waterfront Lake Lots, And A Lake Property Sale!

We had another great day in Lake Lanier real estate yesterday, as we closed on a very nice Lake Lanier waterfront lot in Murrayville, Georgia.  This was a great deal for our buyer on a gently sloping lot listed at about .28 acres with a single-slip dock in place.  The original listing date was September 2010, so this lot was on the market for a long time, just like so many other lake lots.  Why such a great deal?  Well, consider the history.  This Lake Lanier lot sold for $160,000 in 2007, and our buyer picked it up as a short sale yesterday for a very cool $62,900!

Full Listing Report & Photos For 7731 Elm Circle, Murrayville, GA.

This Lake Lanier waterfront lot is located at 7731 Elm Circle in Murrayville.  It is a cove lot on the northern end of the Chestatee River in Hall County.  Now, before you rush to quick judgement about the ease of purchasing a Lake Lanier lot at a steal of a price, consider your financing or your ability to buy without financing.  This is one of the main reasons for the pricing.  It is still fairly difficult to obtain financing on raw land and lots.  Unless you are getting a very short term loan from your bank or building immediately on the lot via a construction loan, you'll probably need to pony up the cash!  A HELOC could be an option as well.  Without a doubt, market conditions and sales of Lake Lanier lots are still very much affected by the limitations in available financing for these kinds of properties.



View Larger Map

So with all of that said, now is a great time to buy waterfront lots on Lake Lanier!  The deals are there and it is a buyer's market.  However, just remember to have your financing ready or cash in hand before you start down the road to buy one of these very nice properties.
