Atlanta country artist Zac Brown put his Lake Lanier home up for sale for $3.25 million last week.
He purchased the property for $1.8 million in June 2020, soon after the coronavirus pandemic began. It’s about 45 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta.
The home, in a gated community on the south side of Lake Lanier, is not far from where he grew up in Cumming.
It has seven bedrooms, five bathrooms and 9,448 square feet of living space.
“The kitchen overlooks an open-concept vaulted living room and a fireside breakfast room flowing to a screened porch with lake views,” the listing describes. “The main level includes an oversized primary suite with vaulted ceilings, fireplace, double vanities, and custom walk-in closets.”

Katie McGuirk is the lead Realtor.
“With beautiful views, a long list of amenities, a light-filled open floor plan and everything Lake Lanier has to offer,” McGuirk said in an email to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, “this home will make a fantastic primary home or lakeside retreat. The surrounding scenery is truly gorgeous in all seasons and it’s an easy drive from downtown Atlanta.”
She provided a brief video testimonial from Brown himself. “This has been an incredible home for me and my family and being this close to Atlanta, but it feels like you’re private and a world away which is great. Sad to let it go but excited for some new memories to fill up the place. It served me and my family well so I think the next one will really enjoy it.”
Brown is in the midst of a divorce with Kelly Yazdi, which lasted four months before he announced they were separating last December 2023. He filed a lawsuit in May alleging Yazdi broke a confidentiality agreement and negatively impacted his public image. A judge denied his temporary restraining order.
She filed her own lawsuit alleging he used actual wedding party footage in the music video for his song “Beautiful Drug” featuring Avicii and inserted an actress to play her in a negative light.
He was previously married to Shelly Brown for 12 years until 2018. They have four daughters and a son.
