Braselton, GA
Home of Chateau Elan Winery and Resort
Owners of Braselton homes know there are more than just a few treasures to discover in Historic Downtown Braselton and new ones are coming! There will be even more when the town finishes the redevelopment plan it has designed to revitalize the existing downtown area. The historic buildings that have been renovated maintain the charm and small town feel that owners of Braselton homes love and have been known for since the Braselton Brothers first opened their store over 100 years ago. After being owned by the Brasleton Brothers, the town was bought for around 20 million in 1989 by actress and Georgia native Kim Basinger.
Braselton has a rich heritage and spans it’s location not only in one county, but four. If you dream of Braselton homes, you have Jackson, Hall, Gwinnett, and Barrow counties to choose from. The charming town is the home to the world class amenity, Chateau Elan Winery and Resort. Braselton is also home to the family oriented YearOne Car shows and to the Mayfield Dairy visitor center where you can see the state of the art milk production systems.
Braselton’s growth has been rapid. The population increased 284% between 1990 and 2000 to 7,500 citizens in 2010 and is now at approximately 10,000. The Town continues to expand as development of Braselton homes and businesses moves north from Atlanta up Interstate 85.

MAYFIELD DAIRY FARMS
Visitors Center
In 1910, when T.B. Mayfield Jr. purchased 45 Jersey cows and began delivering milk to customers in his hometown of Athens, Tennessee, little did he know that four generations later, his family milk and ice cream business would become one of the nation’s favorite dairy brands.
After T.B. Jr. retired, the next generation of the Mayfield family picked up where he left off, and in 1950, under the leadership of owners Thomas B. Mayfield III and C. Scott Mayfield Sr. Mayfield built the Southeast’s most modern milk plant. Today, Mayfield is one of the nation’s leading dairies, using advanced technology to bring the best products and innovative packaging to their customers.
