Lake Lanier Courtyards, Concerts & Docks

Our dock has found its way home!  Thanks to Marine Specialties, our dock has returned to its home position.  We had moved it a little further out the cove last Fall when the Lake Lanier water level dropped a bit.  However, with the lake seeming to hold its 1064 mark, we decided to bring the dock back in for the summer.  This sure makes for a more convenient access for boat rides and fishing!

A couple of photos from our blooming courtyard at Lake Lanier!  Summer brings out the Cone Flowers and Lillies!

Lake Lanier Islands continues to bring the fun to the lake with the following new concert series:

Happy Father's Day

It's the weekend! Happy Father's Day! Enjoy the weekend here on Lake Lanier!

Lake Lanier Real Estate Today!

Gosh!  Sometimes I am really amazed at what money can buy in real estate in our Lake Lanier market area.  I constantly monitor low price homes in our area to see what might be available for first time home buyers or investors looking for rental properties.  Today, I ran across this gem of a property located just off of Browns Bridge Road in Gainesville, Georgia Hall County.  This is a 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath, brick home with a fenced yard and a carport.  Kinda' reminds me of the home I grew up in.  It's a HUD property priced at $39,000!  Really?!  Check it out! 6 Cherry Cir. Gainesville, GA. 30506  And it's just a few miles from the lake, boat ramps and downtown Gainesville.

The market is still tough for Lake Lanier waterfront lots.  But today, our searches revealed three new lot listings on Lanier that could be worth a look.  All are priced below $200,000 and provide good water, views and access to the lake with boat docks.  You can see the details on each at the following links:

3645 N River Road, Gainesville, GA.
63 Julian Creek Road, Dawsonville, GA.
6068 Wellington Avenue, Gainesville, GA.

Do you have a pet that loves to be on Lake Lanier?  A dock dog or cat?  A water dog?  Here's our dog, Beignet, enjoying a lake cruise.  Please send us some pics of your Lake Lanier pets!  It's just proof that the lake is fun for the entire family.

Lake Lanier Real Estate Today! Lake Lanier Real Estate Report

We're drilling down on some statistics for Lake Lanier home sales today.  I just ran a scan of our local FMLS system and found a total of 313 homes for sale on Lake Lanier.  Looking at the sales from last month (May), the homes sold appears to be 19.  That would not include mobile or modular homes.  So, not bad for May!  A few more have been recorded this year in May versus last year in May, so I suppose we can say that things are improving!

Lake Lanier Weekend Photos By Arthur Prescott

We had a great weekend this past Saturday and Sunday.  The weather was gorgeous Saturday, but a bit overcast and rainy on Sunday.  Lake Lanier is in need of the rain, so we're not complaining.  With the good weather on Saturday, we took the two following photos.  No matter where you are on Lake Lanier, it seems there are always nice settings for great photos!  This coming weekend should be a photogenic one as well.  Are you going to be at Lake Lanier for Father's Day?!

Lake Lanier Real Estate Today!

We were back out showing Lake Lanier real estate yesterday!  We showed a tremendous Lake Lanier foreclosure home in Harbour Point, and a waterfront lot in Gainesville.

The home in Harbour Point was not waterfront, but did take advantage of some tremendous Lake Lanier views that could be accessed from the outdoor deck.  Harbour Point has some very nice elevations, which provide long range views of Lake Lanier and the North Georgia mountains.  Many of the homes can also take advantage of having a boat slip in the Marina, which is centrally located inside the community.  We showed the home located at 3554 Waterfront, in Harbour Point.  It's a John Wieland home and one of the Colonnade products.  Very nice indeed!

Our Lake Lanier waterfront lot showing was at Lot 28 Hawks Nest Drive, Gainesville, Georgia.  A nice property at the end of the street with good privacy and potential build site.  The lot includes a single slip dock with party deck and has just been reduced over $100,000!  It is currently for sale for $195,000.

We'll be back out on the lake today showing more properties and walking the shores of Lake Lanier!  Please contact us if we can show Lake Lanier real estate to you and your family!

Lake Lanier Recreation, Dining & Real Estate!

We are enjoying extensive boat rides, dining and photography on Lake Lanier this week.  Part of our summer staycation as it might be called.  Today we went to lunch at Skogies Restaurant at Gainesville Marina on Lake Lanier.  Known for their delicious Grouper dishes, Skogies did not disappoint.  Fantastic food and service as always.

After lunch, we boated north to Wahoo Creek in Gainesville on Lake Lanier.  It was a long ride, but the views were truly memorable on this more rural and remote area of Lake Lanier.  Here's a look at today's photos and some of the high end real estate along Wahoo Creek.  The home photos are from a neighborhood called Cherokee Forest in Gainesville.  The following link will show homes for sale in Cherokee Forest on Lake Lanier.

Lake Lanier Real Estate Today!

We were out on the lake yesterday and out on the town last night.  It was a quiet day on Lake Lanier yesterday during the day.  Naturally, the busy weekends turn to quiet weekdays out here on the water.

Last night we headed into downtown Gainesville for a little dinner on Historic Green Street.  I took the following photos of one of our favorite spots for pizza.  Can you guess where?  It's some of the best pizza you'll find anywhere around the Lake Lanier area!  Check out the photos for a hint!



Today, we were out showing a couple of Lake Lanier homes in Forsyth County near Brown's Bridge Road in Gainesville.  We viewed two very nice homes on great water.  Check out the details on these properties by clicking on the following links:

9130 Four Mile Creek Road, Gainesville, GA.
9030 Beaver Trail, Gainesville, GA.
