The Estates at Donath Lake is more than a place to live, it’s a lifestyle.

Residents enjoy private access to Donath Lake for paddleboarding, kayaking, sailing, and fishing, while the lakeside gathering area provides a welcoming setting for both quiet moments and shared experiences. With an inviting patio, firepit, beach area, and boat dock, it's a place to start the day with calm waters and end it watching the sun set over the lake.

What began as a vision has now fully come to life. We’re proud to reintroduce The Hawthorn at The Estates at Donath Lake.

Inspired by timeless Southern architecture and thoughtfully designed for modern living, The Hawthorn brings together refined craftsmanship, elevated materials, and a seamless connection to the outdoors. Every detail was intentionally considered to create a home that feels both distinctive and deeply livable.

As the fifth Passive House–certified residence within the community, The Hawthorn also reflects our continued commitment to creating homes that pair beauty, comfort, and long-term performance.

The newly completed residence still offers select opportunities for customization within the outdoor living spaces and finished lower level.

Now available for private showings.
