About Three Springs Realty

Some partnerships are built on opportunity. Others are built on decades of friendship, mutual respect, and a shared passion for serving others. The partnership between Dan Easton and Holly Nelson is exactly that.

With nearly 30 years of experience each, Dan and Holly have spent their careers helping families find not just houses, but places to call home. Their combined knowledge of the North Georgia, Tennessee, and Western North Carolina markets represents more than three decades of real estate expertise, making their collaboration one of the most experienced and trusted partnerships in the region.

For years, their paths crossed as respected professionals who shared the same values—honesty, integrity, hard work, and an unwavering commitment to their clients. Their friendship naturally evolved into a business partnership that simply made sense. Together, they recognized the opportunity to create something even greater: a real estate experience centered on relationships, local knowledge, and exceptional service.

As Holly became the Principal Broker of Three Springs Realty, Dan found the perfect person to help carry forward the legacy he spent decades building. While Holly has long been known for mentoring and leading her own successful real estate team, she is the first to say that there is always more to learn. Working alongside Dan—whose wisdom, professionalism, and steady leadership have earned him tremendous respect throughout the industry—has been one of the greatest privileges of her career. His mentorship continues to shape the future of Three Springs Realty while preserving the values that have defined it for decades.

Together, Dan and Holly have created an unstoppable force in Mountain Real Estate.

Whether assisting first-time buyers, luxury home clients, investors, or families searching for their forever home, they believe every client deserves genuine care, honest guidance, and a trusted advocate from beginning to end. Their approach has never been about simply completing transactions—it has always been about building lasting relationships that often become lifelong friendships.

Outside of real estate, both share a deep appreciation for the beauty of the mountains they proudly call home. Exploring scenic backroads, discovering hidden waterfalls, enjoying local communities, and simply spending time outdoors are reminders of why they love helping others find their place here. Their passion for these mountains extends far beyond business—it is a way of life.

As Dan begins to slow down and enjoy more time exploring life's adventures, he does so with complete confidence, entrusting Holly's leadership as Principal Broker and the Holly Nelson Team, Engel & Völkers North Georgia Mountains as Three Springs Realty's primary referral partner. It is a transition rooted in trust, friendship, and the belief that the company's reputation for excellence will continue to thrive for generations to come.

Today, Three Springs Realty stands stronger than ever—built upon decades of experience, unwavering integrity, trusted relationships, and a genuine love for serving its neighbors throughout Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina.

For Dan Easton and Holly Nelson, real estate has never simply been a career. It has been a lifelong commitment to people, community, and helping others write the next chapter of their story.

And together, that story is only just beginning.

Exceptional Lakefront Building Lot - Scenic Shores Phase 1 Rare opportunity to own approximately 2.87 acres of exceptional lakefront property in the prestigious Scenic Shores Phase 1 subdivision.

Extensive Shoreline Improvements: The property has undergone substantial improvements designed to enhance the usability of the shoreline and building site. The shoreline has been stabilized and reinforced, with improvements engineered and permitted as required. The owner has invested in the construction of a substantial Stone Strong retaining wall system, constructed with the involvement of engineers and contractors. The retaining wall extends around the lower portion of the property, creating a more gradual slope to the usable waterfront area. A commercial-grade safety fence has also been installed along the top of the retaining wall. The retaining wall is both functional and aesthetically appealing, providing access along the shoreline and around a large, expansive point. The improvements also create the potential for a level backyard and a lakefront home with a walkout basement, while taking full advantage of the property's lake and mountain views. The 1007 foot elevation line has been marked & identified on the property. Shoreline and Lot improvements above and below this elevation were engineered, approved, and permitted as required. An existing road constructed above the 1007-foot elevation provides convenient access along the shoreline and leads to a large, circular point.

Some people collect fine art. Others acquire rare automobiles. The most discerning collectors understand that the rarest thing in the world is something that cannot be recreated. There is a place in the heart of Franklin that feels almost impossible to have survived. Behind a private gate at the end of a quiet no-exit road, just beyond Historic Downtown Franklin, nine extraordinary acres unfold—open pasture, mature trees, a historic barn, and the Harpeth River. This is not simply acreage near downtown. It is a rare convergence of land, water, history, and location, with a gated, grandfathered entrance directly into the 200-acre expanse of Harlinsdale Farm. Miles of trails and riding arenas become an extension of the property itself. To the south, the land meets the Harpeth River, creating a private relationship with the water rarely found in the heart of Franklin. Fish from the shoreline, launch a kayak, or wade into the river on a hot summer day. And then, almost remarkably, town begins. The Factory is within easy walking distance. Main Street is minutes away, with restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and cultural life just beyond the gate. A golf cart makes it effortless. The existing barn offers stalls, hay loft, tack room, and generous space for tractors, equipment, or antique automobiles. A fully remodeled 1970s residence provides warmth and nostalgia with wood beams, a gourmet kitchen, commercial-grade refrigerater, and quartz countertops. For those envisioning something entirely their own, plans are available for a 6,000-square-foot residence, with a builder already in place. City water, sewer, and natural gas provide the convenience of town while preserving the freedom of country living. Nine acres. Riverfront. Harlinsdale Farm. A barn. A residence. Room to create. And Main Street Franklin just moments away. Properties like this are extraordinarily rare. And once this one is gone, there may never be another.
