Clarkesville provides the idyllic atmosphere that is perfect for summer vacationers, retirees, and even families.

Both new construction properties and older properties can have a single or multi-story floor plan. Square footage is also quite generous, with bungalows starting at over 1,000 square feet and multi-story homes starting at 2,200 square feet. Of course, this changes from property to property, with a significant portion of the homes on the market soaring over those numbers. Acreage is also a factor, and many homes have significant land attached to the homes themselves.
