There are currently several premium lots available including some of the few remaining flat lots in the area and some very nice lots that are perfect for your home plans that include a basement.

In the world of golf and custom home building - Champions are drawn to Champions! Recently a film crew for Samsung selected our 2014 Tour of Homes "Grand Champion" model home in East Lake Estates to create a new commercial with 2013 PGA Champion, Jason Dufner. Even though Dufner has had to withdraw from this year's tournament due to injuries, we'll be seeing plenty of him via the new commercial below.

The spot was created by Synergy Films from Atlanta and the location was scouted with the help of East Lake Estates team member and Prudential Preferred Real Estate Agent, Ryan Edwards. Ryan was prepared to show the film scouts three potential locations for the shoot, but upon seeing the model home (which is currently for sale) the crew decided to go no further. The custom upgrades, interior design and lighting was exactly what they were looking for.

"We're excited to have been chosen for such an fun project," commented custom home builder, Michael Allen Monk. "It's always a joy to show off the hard work that goes into a custom home of this quality."

As you can see from the photo gallery below, it takes a lot of people and a LOT of equipment to get 30 seconds of TV commercial, but the crew was able to get the entire shoot complete in one day.

A second crew was documenting the making of the commercial and you can see that video below.
