HIGHLANDS AT ECHELON
Milton, Fulton County, Georgia
Highlands at Echelon (commonly known simply as Echelon) is one of North Georgia's most exclusive gated golf communities. Set on a Rees Jones-designed championship golf course just north of Milton, it's waiting for you now.
About Highlands at Echelon
History & Character - Echelon sits just north of the City of Milton, straddling the line where Fulton County meets Cherokee County. The community consists of 108 custom estate homesites arranged around a challenging Rees Jones-designed golf course, with a legendary back nine that has drawn golf enthusiasts from across the Atlanta area. Distinguished custom homes with high-end finishes line the streets, many built to order by top area builders.
Community & Location - Echelon's location is part of its appeal: an Alpharetta-area address that, depending on the specific lot, may carry Cherokee County's lower property tax rates while remaining minutes from Milton, Alpharetta, Roswell, and Buckhead. Residents enjoy the seclusion of scenic horse country alongside quick access to GA 400 and the major employment corridors nearby.
Amenities - Beyond the golf course itself, Echelon offers a gated entrance, tennis courts, and a community built around the lakes and rolling hills that frame the course. The low-density lot layout (many home sites run from roughly an acre up to several acres) gives residents genuine privacy that's increasingly rare in North Fulton's newer developments.
Golf - The centerpiece of Echelon is its Rees Jones-designed golf course, widely regarded as one of Georgia's most challenging and best-rated layouts. Golf and lake views are common from home lots throughout the community, and the course has become a defining feature for buyers searching specifically for Highlands at Echelon real estate.
