Press Release: Acadia Homes and Neighborhoods Makes Hall County Debut at Sterling on the Lake

Atlanta, November 6, 2014 – After just four years on the Atlanta housing market scene, Cobb County-based Acadia Homes & Neighborhoods has steadily grown its influence throughout the metro area with a strong presence in Cobb, DeKalb, Forsyth, Fulton, Jackson, Gwinnett and – most recently – Hall County. With the introduction of a number of stylish ranch floorplans, Acadia Homes is proud to become a part of one of Atlanta’s best selling master planned communities – Sterling on the Lake in Flowery Branch. Located in northeast Georgia, approximately 50 miles from downtown Atlanta, this sprawling 1,000 acre community developed by Newland Communities will comprise 2,000 homes from a variety of well-respected builders upon completion. Given the beauty of its surroundings and wealth of resort-style amenities, Sterling on the Lake will prove an excellent fit for Acadia Homes & Neighborhoods.

“Sterling on the Lake already has everything we look for in a community and more – from its tapestry of tranquil lakes, open greenspace, lush forests and rolling hills to its state-of-the-art recreation center, delightfully decorated lakeside clubhouse, and community activities on the Village Green,” explains Gregg Goldenberg, President and CEO of Acadia Homes & Neighborhoods. “Right down the road, the shops and restaurants of the historic Flowery Branch square await, and I-985 provides a quick commute to I-85 with Atlanta to the south and Gainesville to the north. In addition to its close proximity to Lake Lanier, Flowery Branch is also well-known as the home of the Atlanta Falcons Team Headquarters and Training Facility. A favorite pastime for many Hall County residents is to attend free open practice sessions during the Atlanta Falcons training camp in the summer. We are honored to partner with Newland Communities on our newest venture, and feel Sterling on the Lake is the ideal backdrop for Acadia Homes & Neighborhoods’ special brand of affordable luxury.”

Acadia Homes & Neighborhoods is now pre-selling 30 homesites in Sterling on the Lake with a choice of five ranch floorplans. Homes are priced starting from the $300,000’s and boast an extensive number of upscale features such as gourmet kitchens with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, open living spaces, expansive owner’s suites with spa-inspired master baths, spacious secondary bedrooms, and more. The surrounding community features over 200 acres of both passive and active open space, complete with 75 acres of lakes, extensive hiking/biking trails, streams and waterfalls, forested sites, rolling topography, and a custom children’s tree house. Sterling on the Lake’s expansive Village Center features a full-time Activities Director, Property Manager, fitness center, 27-seat Movie Theater, several outdoor pavilions, competition pool with infinity edge and waterfall, a free form pool with zero entry edge, children’s waterslide, wading pool and Water Park. Peppered throughout the community are 10 lighted tennis courts in three amenity centers, which also include children’s playgrounds, a basketball court, and an additional pool.

“Inspired by tradition and surrounded by nature, Sterling on the Lake is a modern, master-planned community,” says Burkhard Schaelicke, Sterling on the Lake Neighborhood Sales Manager for Acadia Homes. “It is THE community in Hall County where discerning homebuyers want to live or even find their forever home in which to enjoy their retirement. Acadia’s three- and four-bedroom plans are generously appointed ranch homes featuring brick with stone and shake accents on beautifully wooded lots. Beyond touring our homes and available home sites, Sterling on the Lake is a community that has to be seen to truly understand its scope and wealth of offerings. I look forward to introducing prospective home buyers to Acadia Homes and Sterling on the Lake.”
