Though the Town of Braselton is only 45 minutes north of Atlanta, things run at a different pace here. Sometimes it’s slow—like a European spa treatment at Chateau Elan Winery and Resort or al fresco dining in historic downtown. Sometimes it’s fast—like a 130-mph Ferrari at Petit Le Mans or karting at Lanier Raceplex.
The Town of Braselton is located in Jackson, Barrow, Gwinnett and Hall counties along Interstate 85, only 45 minutes northeast from downtown Atlanta and about 60 minutes from Atlanta International Airport. The area has an excellent system of roads, highways and an interstate highway. Principal routes used are Georgia Highways 211, 53, 60, 124 and Interstate Highway 85. There are two interchanges, (Exits 126 and 129) from the Interstate into the town limits of Braselton. The nearest rail lines are in the City of Jefferson, ten miles to the east. Jackson County has a small airport with two runways. The nearest commercial air charter service is in Athens, approximately 40 miles to the southeast.
