Secluded waterfront community in the northern section of Lake Lanier
Quiet waterfronts and the Appalachian foothills dominate the scenery in Lakeshore, a community along the northern banks of Lake Lanier. Homes are tucked along forested streets, heightening the outdoors as a fact of life in the community. “Really quiet community up that way,” says Jason Buffington, a Real Estate Team Leader at Keller Williams Lanier with over 15 years of experience. “There’s a lot of inventory in the housing market, plus there’s lots of good people up there.”
Dense forests and the waters of Lake Lanier provide the backdrop for Lakeshore’s neighborhood.

Waterfront houses and cozy forest houses in Lakeshore
Dense forests and the waters of Lake Lanier provide the backdrop for Lakeshore’s streets, creating a sense of privacy and seclusion for residents. Most homes in the area were designed to accentuate their natural surroundings through large windows and open floor plans. Private docks are a common feature of waterfront houses, which tend to be priced higher than other homes. Designs range from single-story ranch-style houses and multi-story Craftsman homes to Dutch-Colonial and split-level houses with as much as two acres of land. Undeveloped tracts provide opportunities for buyers to build their own homes. Prices for undeveloped plots range from $50,000 to $300,000. Prices for single-family houses range from $300,000 to $850,000.

Down the road from Chestatee Golf Club is Smokin’ Mike’s Meats, offering tender pulled pork, brisket and Southern-style dishes. “Living up there, you’re about 10-20 minutes from most places,” says Buffington. Retailers like Kroger in nearby Gainesville keep residents stocked with the essentials.
