5 Georgia Luxury Homes from Lake Oconee to Lake Burton

Within the gates of Reynolds Lake Oconee, on a quiet cul-de-sac just over an acre, this custom lakefront home is framed by lush, mature landscaping designed by a certified Master Gardener owner. A hand-pump-style water feature babbles toward the lake, while lake-fed irrigation keeps the grounds thriving. Life centers on a main level that lives like a single-story, where the primary bedroom unfolds into two separate dressing suites—each with its own full bath and walk-in closet—alongside a dedicated office and a vaulted great room with three skylights and a marble fireplace. The chef’s kitchen pairs quartz countertops with a six-burner pro range, double wall ovens, a warming drawer, and display cabinetry opening to the gardens. Downstairs, a walk-out terrace level functions like a second residence with bedrooms, a stone-fireplace lounge, a full bar, and a climate-controlled game room. Outside, a dock, rebuilt seawall, and sunset views complete the rhythm of lake days.

Just moments from the Virginia Highland border to the south and Morningside Village to the north, daily life can unfold on foot, with restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and parks close at hand. It’s a rare pairing of striking modern design and genuine neighborhood connection, where thoughtful planning supports everything from laid-back mornings to evenings spent hosting.

Along the water’s edge on Lake Burton, 1006 Perrin Cove delivers big-water frontage with sunset mountain views, approached by a meandering gravel road and a private setting at the south end of the lake.

From the gangway, landscaped grounds lead to a stately Cape Cod-style home with a contemporary lake-camp sensibility. Inside, the main living space combines kitchen and living room beneath beamed maple ceilings, while a spacious screened porch extends daily living outdoors. Suites on multiple levels capture lake views, and outdoor living spaces include an outdoor masonry fireplace and wet bar. A recreational-room breezeway links the main house to the original cottage with additional living areas, kitchenette, laundry, bedrooms, and shared baths—ready for a creative refresh or easygoing enjoyment, especially on fireworks nights.

The main residence offers 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, with an office on the main floor that could serve as a 5th bedroom. Outside, the setting shifts between pasture, wooded acreage, and open land—peaceful, private, and highly functional. Multiple road frontages, including Hartwell Road (Hwy 77) and a side street, add an uncommon dimension for residential, commercial, or investment use, from retail and office to restaurant or event space. Life here feels expansive, grounded, and full of possibility.
