Lake Sidney Lanier Homes And Arthur Prescott - Buying & Selling Lake Lanier Homes For Our Clients Since 2001!  Throwback Thursday!

Today, as part of our throwback series, we are highlighting this Lake Lanier waterfront home located at 3511 Point View Circle in Gainesville, Georgia.  We assisted our client in purchasing this newly constructed Lake Lanier home in June of 2005!  This was a beautiful, well-built, high-quality home located on a very nice lot with seasonal views and great water.  Our clients purchased the home and immediately added a new, covered, double-slip dock and shoreline steps which really allowed the home to have easy lake access and a tremendous waterfront setting.  At a time when the lake market was booming and competition for purchasing waterfront homes was super-strong, we knew we had a great deal on this newly built home with modern features and build quality.

Today, as part of our throwback series, we are highlighting this Lake Lanier waterfront home located at 491 Sams Road, Dawsonville, Georgia.  We assisted our client in purchasing this lightly remodeled Lake Lanier cabin in May of 2005!  This was a small cabin located on a very private, wooded lot uniquely located on both sides of Sams Road.  The home was actually located across the street from the lake, but as our property survey revealed, the lot actually included a small parcel on the waterfront across the street!  There was a platform/swim dock included which made the home a perfect pick for clients wanting a place to keep kayaks and a small boat.  A ride down Sams Road today is almost like a trip back in time as you pass by similar old cabins across the street from the lake, but with lake access.  This one was a deal at $210,000!

MLS Property Description:

Lake home on .87 acres.  New vinyl siding and a new roof, hardwood floors throughout.  Lake view.  Short walk to platform dock with possible upgrade to single slip.

Lake Lanier Water Level Rising Really Quickly!  The Rain Keeps On Coming!

It's been chilly, rainy, dreary, wintry, nasty weather here at Lanier for the past week.  So much rain that the water level today is up to nearly five feet over full pool!  This has a dramatic effect on Lake Lanier homeowners when the lake rises this quickly.  Here are a few shoreline photos from my waterfront this afternoon.
