Lake Lanier Custom Home Builder

For nearly three decades, Sullivan & Forbes has designed and built custom homes around Lake Lanier and throughout North Georgia. Based in Gainesville, we understand that a lake home is shaped not only by the homeowner’s vision, but by the property, views, topography and relationship to the water.

Our integrated home design and construction approach allows us to consider those elements from the beginning, creating one-of-a-kind homes designed for the way our clients want to experience life at the lake.

Designing a Custom Home for Lake Lanier Living

Building on Lake Lanier presents opportunities that should influence the home from the earliest stages of design. Views, slope, orientation, outdoor living, privacy and the relationship between the home and water can all affect how the property should be planned.

Sullivan & Forbes approaches each lake property individually. Rather than adapting a standard plan to the lot,we work with the homeowners to develop a custom design that responds to the property and the way they want to live—whether that means expansive entertaining areas, quieter private spaces, dramatic lake views or seamless connections between indoor and outdoor living.
