Overview · What Makes Apalachee Farms Special?

Apalachee Farms is a master-planned residential community in Dacula, Georgia, featuring approximately 587 homes. Known for luxury homes with brick and stone exteriors, the community sits just minutes from I-85 and Highway 316, making it a convenient base for commuters headed to Atlanta, Buckhead, or the Gwinnett County business corridor.

The community is divided into five distinct neighborhoods: The Oaks at Apalachee Farms (where 909 Pathview Ct is located), The Terraces, Riverside, Sterling Green, and Clubview. Home prices range from approximately $500K to $1.3M+, reflecting the quality of construction, lot sizes, and amenity access throughout the community.

Built primarily between 1995 and 2005, the community is governed by an HOA with annual dues of $670, which covers maintenance of the swim and tennis facilities, common areas, and on-site security. The centerpiece is the clubhouse and activities center, offering a complete package of pools, tennis, fitness, and family amenities. The name is sometimes searched as Appalachee Farms with a double p, but the correct spelling is Apalachee with one p.

Golfers enjoy access to the Trophy Club of Apalachee, a championship course that winds through the entire community. The course is independently owned and operated, separate from the HOA. Some homes along the fairway offer direct course views, and the course serves as the visual and lifestyle centerpiece of the community.

Lisa Harris dominates this community with nearly 20 years of experience and intimate knowledge of every neighborhood. She has successfully marketed and sold multiple homes here, and her full-spectrum marketing approach, professional photography, cinematic video, drone aerials, and targeted social media campaigns sets her apart from other agents.
