Waterfront Homes Lake Lanier Real Estate - To those of us who have the luck and privilege to live on and around Lake Lanier, I say congratulations. This lake is truly a gem that man has made and God has smiled upon. The lake was formed in 1957 and covered many acres of farmland and homes. If you live on or around the lake you might say that its main purpose is recreation. If you live down stream you might think of the lake as a source of drinking water. The other purposes of this beautiful lake include flood protection, power production, fish and wildlife management and navigation. The 692 miles of shoreline gives us a remarkable place to live and play. The lake spreads into 4 counties of north Georgia. They include Forsyth, Hall, Dawson, and Gwinnett counties. Frontage on the lake provides a home owner with more than just the pleasure and joy of seeing and using the lake, it also provides a monetary value. The cost of Lake Lanier real estate has risen in value over the years and will continue climb. The current water concerns have impacted the growth of real estate in areas where the water is very low. Real estate in Dawsonville, Cumming, Gainesville, and Buford has seen a steady growth increase due, in part, to our lake. People ask about the dock situation on Lake Lanier. People who own Lake Lanier real estate are often able to have a dock and while not everyone has one and there are restrictions, you do have a good chance of having your own private dock. The U.S. Army Corp of engineers decides who can have a dock and who cannot. This decision is based on many different criteria and there are very few dock permits left and then the Corp will stop issuing new dock permits. The dock permit and the ability to get a dock are very important factors in the value of lake front real estate. The Corps is very willing to work with property owners to decide if your property will qualify for a dock permit. The rules are made so that everyone can enjoy Lake Lanier and all it´s glory. The lake is a great asset to the North Georgia area and we want to keep it that way. It´s very important that potential home buyers use an agent who has knowledge of the lake and the rules regarding land and dock use. The laws in place for dock permits are varied and not knowing what they are could cost a buyer plenty. Lake Lanier real estate is booming and values remain high. Even if you don´t own Lake Front real estate you can still use the many parks and boat ramps, full service marinas are also available!
