Across Georgia, this quintet of properties shares a retreat-minded approach to luxury, where privacy, recreation, and design take precedence. From a 48-acre equestrian estate with barns and a richly appointed entertainment level to a 21+ acre two-residence compound traced by dual creeks and a trout stream, the collection leans into land and leisure. Lake life is equally central, spanning a bold, no-HOA Lake Lanier waterfront new build and a Reynolds Lake Oconee homesite with 200+ feet of main-lake frontage. Even in-town, a reimagined Morningside mid-century modern delivers Palm Springs-style indoor/outdoor living.

Surrounded by 48 acres in Griffin, this equestrian estate centers on a two-story stucco-and-stone residence where log beams and heart pine floors set a warm, grounded tone. The Great Room rises to a 30-foot vaulted ceiling, anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. In the gourmet kitchen, a 9-foot island, three-basin copper sink, and walk-in pantry support everything from quiet mornings to larger gatherings. Two owner’s suites add flexibility, including one with its own stone fireplace. Downstairs, the finished basement turns entertaining into an art form with an Irish-imported bar, theater room, wine cellar, fitness center, craft room, and an additional bedroom or bonus room with full bath. Outside, a salt-water Gunite pool and spa share the spotlight with a veranda lounge offering an outdoor kitchen and fireplace, plus three barns, a riding ring, and seven paddocks.

A gourmet kitchen with solid surface countertops, a large island, modern appliances, and a concealed walk-in pantry connects seamlessly to the family room, while a formal dining room, additional bedroom, full bath, and sizable laundry room round out the level. The primary suite on the main floor offers deck access and an en suite with make-up vanity, jetted tub, separate shower, and generous closet. Upstairs: a den, three bedrooms, and two full baths; below, an unfinished basement awaits customization. The guest house adds a wrap-around porch, finished back patio, and a garage converted into a man cave with an additional finished bath—ideal for unhurried days in Ball Ground.

Along the water’s edge on Lake Lanier, this new-construction waterfront retreat pairs bold contemporary design with the calm of its natural setting—without an HOA. Inside, soaring ceilings set an airy tone, while wide-plank engineered oak flooring brings warmth underfoot. Dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows pull in abundant natural light and thoughtfully frame seasonal lake views, creating a daily rhythm that feels connected to the landscape beyond. With expansive heated living space and generous covered area under roof, the layout is designed for both quiet mornings and easy entertaining, all anchored by a sense of openness and flow. It’s a rare kind of lake living in Gainesville—modern in its lines, serene in its outlook, and made for lingering a little longer as the light shifts across the water.
