After four years of ownership, Zac Brown has decided to part ways with his Georgia retreat perched atop the south shores of Lake Lanier in his hometown of Cumming, about 45 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta . The founding member and frontman of the Grammy-winning country/rock group Zac Brown Band —probably most known for the hit songs Chicken Fried , Knee Deep , and Same Boat —is asking $3.25 million for the waterfront spread, which he acquired for $1.
8 million in June 2020. Built in the early 1990s, the white wood-sided and stone-accented structure features seven bedrooms and five baths in a little more than 9.400 square feet of living space on three levels boasting surround sound and automated window treatments.
Outdoors, the woodsy grounds span almost an acre and include a heated infinity pool flanked by a waterfall and spa, a cedar-clad dock with a party deck up top, a separate boathouse, and 150 feet of waterfront footage, plus a detached five-car garage. Main-level highlights include a formal dining room and a spacious double-height living area sporting picture windows, a built-in entertainment center, and a stone fireplace stretching to the ceiling. An adjacent kitchen outfitted with quartz countertops, an eat-in island, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and a walk-in pantry connects to a fireside breakfast room that flows out to a screen porch with water views.
A spacious primary suite holds a seating area warmed by a fireplace, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a shower. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a loft-style lounging space that segues into a library hosting a wet bar, while the terrace floor has two more bedrooms with access to a kitchenette, as well as a sauna-equipped gym and a movie theater that comes complete with professional lighting, tiered seating, and multiple TVs and gaming systems. There’s also a recreation room with a seated bar, a fireplace, and French doors spilling out to an expansive deck.
Per listing agent Katie McGuirk of Ansley Christie’s International Real Estate , the 46-year-old musician—who is also widely known as a songwriter, producer, record label head, and philanthropist—purchased the lakefront home during the Covid-19 pandemic so he could have a place to make music and unwind with friends and family. “This has been an incredible home for me and my family, with a great location that feels like it’s a world away from the city,” said Brown in a press statement. “We’re sad to let it go, but I look forward to passing it on to new owners who will fill it with new memories.
