A golf and lake community on the Chestatee River arm of Lake Lanier, combining fairway living with real marina and boat slip access.
Chestatee gives you both sides of the North Georgia lifestyle in one community — golf course frontage for some homes, marina and boat slip access for others, and the option to enjoy both regardless of which lot you choose. It sits on the Dawson County side of the Chestatee arm, one of the quieter, more scenic sections of Lake Lanier.
It's positioned as a gateway between the lake lifestyle and North Georgia's mountain terrain, which gives it a genuinely different feel from the busier Hall County lake communities.
Expect a mix of golf-course and lake-adjacent homes, with marina access being a real differentiator from inland Dawson County communities.
Because it combines golf and marina amenities in one gated community, Chestatee tends to draw buyers who want both lifestyles without choosing between two separate communities.
This pulls live from MLS, so what you see is what's actually on the market today — not a stale snapshot.

This is the quieter, more mountain-adjacent side of Lake Lanier. If you want the busier boating traffic and amenities of Marina Bay or Harbour Point, those sit in Hall County instead.
Chestatee's two amenity sides genuinely feel different. Let's tour both before you decide which lot type fits you.
