Just two hours from Atlanta, Lookout Mountain is renowned for its fresh air, scenic beauty, and history, as well as its natural features, including waterfalls, streams, and mountain trails offering plenty of rock climbing, mountain biking, and horseback riding.

GOLF: Named “Best 18th Hole in America Since 2000” and referred to as “likely to become one of the most recognized holes in American golf” by Golf Digest, the Course at McLemore offers players of all levels a comfortable range of tee boxes and three distinct hole types: canyon, highland, and cliff-edge. McLemore’s six-hole short course is a relaxing complement to the 18-hole course, allowing guests and members the opportunity to warm up before a round or to simply hone their skills.

The Creag also offers curated bourbons, whiskeys, craft cocktails, and an international wine list.

Each of the custom homes and home sites of McLemore is thoughtfully designed and enabled with a host of up-to-date utilities, including fiber-optic internet with speeds of up to one gigabit.

Bespoke Design

Old Castle Design Center

Twelve years ago, we recognized a market need for a bespoke design service specializing in kitchen and bathroom design and full renovations. With the aspiration of becoming the best design and renovation company in northern Atlanta, Old Castle Design Center was founded in Johns Creek in April 2008.

Since then, we achieved our vision by offering diverse, quality products for the home, excellent service from a knowledgeable design team, and a steady, loyal clientele. The successes we enjoyed in the Johns Creek area prompted us to relocate to an expanded, central location in the heart of Atlanta’s art and design district—Miami Circle in Buckhead.

The reimagined Old Castle Design Showroom is a 25,000-square-foot kitchen and bathroom gallery. We are your one-stop-shopping experience for home products. We continue to extend full-service kitchen and bathroom design to dedicated clients and those who are discovering our Buckhead showroom.

We are an exclusive dealer of Composite—fine and modern, Italian-made cabinetry. Pictured here is the elegant Maxima collection. For those who prefer traditional and transitional styles, we represent quality U.S.-made cabinets by Masterbrand: Omega, Décora, and Kemper.

Our appliance brands are the best, including La Cornue, Gaggenau, Miele, Sub-Zero, Wolf and Cove, Thermador, Vent-A-Hood, Perlick, Bertazzoni, Fulgor Milano, and Bosch. Our plumbing brands—Gessi, Graff, Franke, and Toto—balance high design with quality. We also offer artistic, unique Dune and Versace tile collections.

We invite you to our showroom to explore beautiful products. Meet our talented designers who will make your dream kitchen and bathroom a reality.
