Lori Lane Presents North Georgia's Hidden Gems: Lakefront Escapes and Mountain Retreats Await

As the President of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Georgia Properties New Homes Division, Luxury, and Global, Lori Lane has spent years curating some of the most exquisite properties in North Georgia. Her expertise in luxury real estate is unmatched, and she believes that North Georgia's lakefront and mountain homes offer a unique combination of serenity, sophistication, and natural beauty. "These homes aren't just about the view," Lori says, "they're about a lifestyle that blends modern elegance with the tranquility of nature. It's a rare combination, and North Georgia does it so well."

In Georgia, known as the Empire State of the South, many luxury-loving individuals can find a plethora of peaceful yet palatial homes highlighting the region's lakes and mountains. For those in search of an expensive escape by the lake or a relaxing retreat to the mountains, these hidden gems are wonderfully worthwhile. 

As you traverse the state of Georgia, you’ll find this new Six Mile Creek construction on Lake Lanier. The waterfront location offers deep-water access and a double slip-covered dock. Unifying the lake’s serenity with modern sophistication, potential buyers will meet a gorgeous estate with substantial parking options for guests and residents alike. Upon entering the home through the custom steel front doors, an elegant atmosphere awaits. The kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, loads of cabinetry, a personalized vent hood, and a spacious hidden pantry, extending plenty of space for family and friends. The home's bedrooms and bathrooms offer abundant convenience with a built-in office, studio, gym, theater, bonus room areas, and a quick walk to the nearest grocery, presenting stunning lake views from the second and third levels. 

"Lakeside living is a dream for many, and this property encapsulates that dream perfectly," says Lori. "The attention to detail here is remarkable, from the custom steel doors to the deep-water access. It's a true gem on Lake Lanier."
