“Beating the Rain: How to Offset Its Dampening Effect on Clients”
By Michael Catarevas
“It’s often a great opportunity to see how water flows on the lot, if gutters work properly, how the yard handles water, water intrusion concerns and how the neighbor’s water flow might possibly impact your property. This provides so much valuable insight that a typical home inspection might not catch on a bright sunny day so it is priceless knowledge.”

A Seamless New-Construction Experience
“Lisa provided invaluable guidance as we designed our Del Webb/Pulte home. Her weekly video updates kept us informed throughout construction, and we appreciated her time and insight during the home inspection. She also made the closing process feel smooth and manageable.
As out-of-state buyers, we never felt we needed to travel to Georgia to monitor the build. Lisa was there each week, documenting the progress and sharing videos of every stage.
This was a new process for us, and Lisa made us feel comfortable and confident from start to finish. We’re grateful for her expertise, communication, and care. Thank you, Lisa!”

Real Estate Market Report
From Tee Times to Closing Times: Your Market Advantage
Updated October 22, 2026 · Data sourced from Zillow, Realtor.com®, Redfin, Orchard, FMLS & GAMLS public records
Whether you are buying your first home in Chateau Elan or selling a beloved estate, understanding the numbers gives you the edge. From Tee Times to Closing Times, this snapshot of the Braselton luxury market is compiled from the most recent Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, Orchard, and FMLS/GAMLS public records. For the twelve months ending late September 2026, the Georgia MLS shows a median sale price of $1.29M and $224 per square foot, with a median of 36 days on market and sellers accepting 94% of their original asking price, up 16% year over year. Active inventory held at roughly 38 homes for sale or pending in October 2026, spanning $475K to $2.5M with a median list price near $1.32M. Because Chateau Elan spans everything from maintenance-provided villas in the $400s to custom estates above $3 million, monthly figures vary by source and period, but the trends tell a consistent story: expanded inventory, balanced conditions, and sustained demand at every price tier.

What the Numbers Mean for You
The Chateau Elan market today offers a balanced landscape: roughly 38 homes for sale or pending in October 2026, a median list price near $1.32M, and active inventory spanning $475K to $2.5M. Buyers enjoy expanded choice across every tier, from maintenance-provided villas in the $400s to custom estates above $3M. Through late September 2026, the Georgia MLS shows 41 closings over the trailing 12 months at a median sale price of $1.29M and $224 per square foot, while the average sale price skews higher still, lifted by estate-level closings. Across that same window, sellers accepted 94% of their original asking price, up 16% year over year, a clear sign that disciplined pricing is meeting genuine demand. Year-over-year figures lean on mix as much as momentum: Redfin's most recent monthly window shows a lower median near $775K with more mid-range homes closing, price per square foot is roughly 7% below a year ago, and 27 homes changed hands, up 50% from a year earlier. Well-priced, professionally presented properties continue to attract strong interest from qualified buyers.
For sellers, listing trends show that competitively priced, professionally presented homes continue to attract offers, with well-priced properties moving in a median of about 36 days. For buyers, expanded inventory means more options across every price tier, from entry-level villas in the $400s to $3M-plus Legends estates. From Tee Times to Closing Times, the current market rewards informed decisions on both sides of the table.
From Tee Times to Closing Times, let's find your place in Chateau Elan.

Chateau Elan is a premier gated golf community in Braselton, Georgia, spanning 3,500 acres with luxury homes priced from $750K to over $4 million, 45 holes of championship golf, an award-winning winery and resort, and twelve distinctive neighborhoods offering resort-style living just 40 minutes north of Atlanta along I-85.

As a resident, you benefit from having the resort next door, dining, spa, winery, and events, while living in a community with its own identity. With 45 holes of championship golf, and a vibrant social calendar, Chateau Elan isn't just a place to live. It's a lifestyle.

Cozy, casually upscale, and quietly stylish: a warm wine-bar room with rustic brick, low lighting, and a long bar where bottles sit ready on tap. A 14-seat communal table anchors the center of the dining room, an invitation to share plates and conversation the way an evening in a great wine bar should feel.
Signature Dishes
The Bacon Flight, served on miniature butcher hooks, is the most talked-about plate on the table, joined by Korean Braised BBQ Short Rib, the Fried Green Tomato Stack, Shrimp Bacon & Blue, roasted Brussels sprouts, a small charcuterie board, and Angus burger sliders. Wine on tap is the house signature, with dozens of bottles and a Smoked Old Fashioned worth the drive.
What Makes It Special
A true hidden gem that locals keep to themselves: wine served on tap, which keeps the pours fresh and the prices approachable, plus a chef-driven small-plates menu and a weekend brunch. It is the kind of understated, welcoming room where a casual weeknight easily turns into a three-hour evening, just 20 minutes from the Château Élan gates.

Few communities offer this depth of amenities alongside consistent appreciation. The sale-to-list ratio of 100.76% confirms that well-priced homes continue to sell at or above asking price.
What golf courses are near Chateau Elan?

What are the HOA fees in Chateau Elan?
HOA fees in Chateau Elan vary by neighborhood and typically range from $100 to over $500 per month. It is important to understand that the HOA and the golf club membership are separate. The HOA covers community amenities such as the Sports Club, pools, trails, tennis courts, and social programming. Golf club membership is a separate, optional expense (except in The Legends, where it is mandatory). Some sections include additional amenities or maintenance services that affect the HOA fee. Contact Lisa for current HOA details on any specific neighborhood.
Is Chateau Elan good for retirees?
Absolutely. Chateau Elan is an excellent choice for retirees and active adults. The resort-style amenities, including golf, tennis, pickleball, swimming, fitness, walking trails, spa, dining, and social clubs, create a vibrant lifestyle without needing to leave the gates. Lisa holds the Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation and specializes in 55+ living. Nearby Del Webb communities in the Braselton area offer additional active adult options. Georgia also offers significant tax advantages for retirees: Social Security benefits are fully exempt from state income tax, and residents 65 and older can exclude up to $65,000 of retirement income per person.
How far is Chateau Elan from Atlanta?
Chateau Elan is located approximately 43 miles north of downtown Atlanta, with a typical drive time of 50 to 60 minutes depending on traffic. Buckhead is about 50 miles away (50 minutes), Alpharetta is 22 miles (30 minutes), and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is roughly 70 miles (1 hour). The community has direct access to Interstate 85, making commutes and airport runs straightforward. Most residents find that they are driving against the worst of the traffic flow during peak hours.
What schools serve Chateau Elan?
Chateau Elan spans three counties (Barrow, Gwinnett, and Hall), so school assignments depend on the specific address. Apalachee High School in Barrow County is the primary public high school serving much of the community. The area also offers access to strong public school systems in Gwinnett and Hall counties. Private school options include several established institutions in the Braselton and Johns Creek areas. The University of Georgia in Athens and Georgia Gwinnett College in Lawrenceville provide nearby higher education options.

Yes, Chateau Elan continues to attract builders and custom homesite opportunities. Several sections offer available lots for custom builds, and new construction homes are regularly listed across multiple price points. Buyers can select finishes, customize floor plans, and work with builders to create a home tailored to their vision. Custom new-builds in The Legends and other sections represent the top of the market, often exceeding $3 million. Contact Lisa to learn about current new construction availability and builder options.
What makes Chateau Elan different from other Atlanta golf communities?
No other community in the Northeast Atlanta corridor offers 45 holes of championship golf, a full-service resort with an award-winning winery and spa, eight on-site dining venues, and homes ranging from $750K to $4M plus, all within a single gated address.
