Lake Lanier Real Estate and Lake Lanier Homes
Lake Lanier was built in the 1950s primarily for flood control, a source of hydroelectric power and for drinking water, but what has sprung up is a virtually unrivaled center for recreation and scenic beauty, tucked away in rustic northern Georgia but just a short drive from bustling Atlanta, less than 30 miles away.

Laid-back luxury
Covering an area of some 60 square miles (three times the size of Manhattan), Lake Lanier has nearly 700 miles of shoreline dotted with beautifully built, comfortable homes and subdivisions offering a lifestyle of laid-back luxury. The lake itself was named for famed Georgia musician and poet Sidney Lanier, whose well-known works include “The Song of the Chattahoochee.”
A recreation destination
A major reason that Lake Lanier is a prime real estate market is that it offers year-round attractions. In the summer months, the inviting waters are filled with hopeful fishermen and nearly every kind of boat imaginable. In fact, more than 7.5 million people make Lake Lanier a vacation destination at some point during the year. Many love to time their arrival with a stunning holiday display, called Magical Nights of Lights, which boasts of more than six miles of festive decorations.
Freshwater marinas
Besides these natural attributes and unique attractions, the Lake Lanier area also has two of the world's largest inland marinas to provide services and amenities to boating enthusiasts. Holiday Marina, a landmark since 1957, is in nearby Buford, GA, and Aqualand Marina is located in Flowery Branch.
Lake Lanier Real Estate information and an education on values.
We often find ourselves trying to educate persons on
On Lake
Old
fishing cabins and trailers that are likely to be bought, torn down,
and replaced with nicer homes in the future. These are the properties
that are not so high priced at this point - 200 - 300K.

When you get over the 500K range Lake Lanier homes become much nicer.

Using
the old real estate saying "location, location, location" could be
enhanced by "on the water, on the water, on the water". We often kick
ourselves for not buying a beach front condo - they were always too
expensive - 5 years ago, 10 years ago, 20 years ago.
When we
get calls from prospects that are not familiar with the Lake Lanier
market, we can almost always predict what is wanted - "a nice view of
the water, a nice 3 bedroom / 3 bath home, garage, a gentle slope with
grass to the waters edge, and a single slip boat dock, in the $300,000
range". If these were available, we could sell them all day long. It
is awkward trying to tell a prospect that his wishes are not realistic,
so we end up proving it, often spending several days riding around the
lake to view those bargains only to find out that the prospect is going
to have to do one of three things: go up in price, settle for
accomodations that are less than he is accustomed to, or look for
property that is not on the lake. With nearly 500 miles of shoreline,
you can run yourself crazy chasing after bargain priced Lake listings
only to find out that they are priced low for a reason (narrow cove,
shallow water, steep slope, no view, or no dock permit)!
Keep
in mind when using my Listingware property search, that if you find a
bargain on the Lake that seems too good to be true, it probably is!
This is especially true with lake lots and smaller cabins under 300K -
they probably have no dock or just a swim platform, shallow water, a
narrow cove, no view, or a steep slope.
One more thing, Lake
Lanier has been the playground for the Atlanta Metro area weekend
warriors for over 50 years now. Most of the lots that would make good
building sites (gentle slope, deep water, wide cove, good view) are
already built upon, those that have not been developed and that are on
the market are priced accordingly.
