These are the highest-priced home sales reported in Gainesville-Hall County, Georgia for the week ending November 8, 2026, and together the five sold for a combined $8.75 million. Three of the homes are in Flowery Branch, with one each in Buford and Gainesville.
The group spans more than six decades of building, from a ranch built in 1960 to a home finished this year, the only new construction among the five. Lake Lanier runs through much of the list, in private docks, a boat slip and a community built around the water.
No. 1 — $5,500,000 · 6091 Jim Crow Rd, Flowery Branch, Georgia
The top sale of the week is an estate built in 2023 on 5.80 acres along Lake Lanier, the largest lot and the largest home among the five. It sold for $5.5 million. The property has 635 feet of lake frontage, and a level lawn runs down to the shoreline and a 32-by-32-foot covered dock with a party deck.
The home mixes Craftsman and ranch design in stone and concrete, with 9,497 square feet of living space, five bedrooms and eight bathrooms: five full and three half baths. Inside the foyer, beamed and vaulted ceilings rise over an open great room with built-in cabinetry and a stone fireplace. The kitchen has marble countertops, a large island, a six-burner gas range with double ovens, and a separate ice maker alongside a full-size refrigerator and freezer. A dining area with its own fireplace and built-ins opens through sliding doors for meals outside above the lake.
Much of daily life is on the main level. The primary suite has a bath with a steam shower, a rain shower and body jets, two custom closets and its own laundry room, and it opens straight onto a suspended infinity-edge saltwater pool with fire bowls. Two guest rooms with private baths and two offices with built-ins share the floor. The main level also has a fenced dog run with artificial turf and drains, and a dog suite with kennels and a bath for washing.
Stairs and an elevator lead down to the terrace level, which has a custom bar, a gym area, a media room and two in-law suites, each with a kitchen, a living area and a bedroom. A second garage stands apart from the home. A Control4 system tied into Lutron lighting runs the audio, video, climate, motorized shades and security.
