Lake Burton, GA Real Estate, Lake Burton Area and Community Information

A beautiful lake surrounded by beautiful trees. That's what you'll experience when you buy real estate in Lake Burton. Many rustic homes are available along the lake for anywhere between $595,000 and $7,000,000.

A scenic place to live and to enjoy the outdoors was not the original reason Lake Burton was created. Back in 1913, its purpose was to help provide electricity for the citizens of Georgia. Since that time, it has grown into a place of recreation and quiet living. Covering 2,775 acres, it is the largest of all the lakes in Northern Georgia run by the Georgia Power Company. The lake was named in honor of Jeremiah Burton, who held many local civic positions, including bailiff of the superior court. Talk to a Lake Burton real estate agent to not only find out about Lake Burton homes, but to learn more about the history of this area. Or go to Georgia Lake Information .
