Crystal Lake Community Defies The Trend With 72 Luxury Home Sales During 2007

For those thinking that 2007 was a down year for real estate in Henry County, Crystal Lake Golf & Country Club has a different message: "It definitely wasn't a down year for us".

Sharon Patterson, the broker for Crystal Lake Realty LLC, which is handling sales in the community, said that according to data released recently by SmartNumbers, Crystal Lake Golf & Country Club had 72 home sales in 2007, more than twice the number reported for its closest competitor in the $295,000 and up price range.

Developed by Lake Erma LLC, the 750-acre gated, luxury home community, which is located on North Mt. Carmel Road in the Hampton area, offers an 18-hole golf course, 80-acre lake and a swim/tennis/playground amenity area with a covered pavilion for residents' use.

The seven custom builders active in the community have model homes available for prospective buyers and market homes for those buyers who need a home right away. With the current price range from $308,000 to $1,650,000, the selection is there for most prospective buyers looking for a luxury home.

The development's premier custom builder team is composed of Black Hawk Builders, Collins Communities Inc., Hunter Homes & Properties Inc., Loran Conner Inc., Next Generation, Oxford Custom Homes LLC, and RHB Inc.

This family-oriented community has interior, golf and lake homesites, many of which will accommodate a basement. Some of the standard features of the homes include granite counters and vanities, stainless appliances, hardwood floors, security systems, full sprinkler systems, wrought iron railings, and three-car garages. The most popular plans have two master suites.

Crystal Lake is located just two miles west of Exit 221 of I-75 and is less than a mile from the Dutchtown schools. It is a short distance from Henry Towne Center, the area's newest shopping center.
