Just a few minutes out of Athen or Watkinsville you will find Lane Creek Plantation, a golf, tennis and swim community. The community is over 300 homes on nicely wooded lots from 3/4 of an acre to seven acres. These homes and  lots are situated along streams, overlooking lakes or along the golf course. Lane Creek Plantation is convenient to shopping and dining in Athens and Watkinsville, as well as the University of Georgia, and Highways 78 and 316 to Atlanta and other areas. You can play golf, lounge by the pool on a hot day, play tennis, or just kick back in your own yard. There is also an entertainment pavilion with full cooking facilities. So, if you are looking for a quiet community for an active, or a laid back, lifestyle, Lane Creek Plantation just might be the place for you. Ho... 10/05/2009
