5 Lake Oconee Waterfront Estates and a Southern Sporting Retreat

Along the water’s edge at Horseshoe Bend in Reynolds Lake Oconee, this custom, like-new lake house frames wide views of Lake Oconee, with sightlines across to the 16th hole of the Jack Nicklaus Great Waters course. Set on over an acre with 170+ feet of water frontage, evenings unfold around multiple patios with an outdoor fireplace, an oversized spool, and sunset skies—plus a front-row tradition for July 4th fireworks across the lake. Inside, the foyer opens to big water views, a covered porch, and an open-concept sequence of great room, dining room, keeping room, and kitchen. Contemporary detailing continues with high ceilings, five oversized suites, a multi-generational suite, and a bunk room. The kitchen pairs a leathered quartzite island with custom cabinetry, Thermador appliances, and a separate prep kitchen—designed for easy, effortless hosting.

Along the water in Horseshoe Bend, this new-construction showhome pairs lake views with meticulous, modern-minded craftsmanship. A brick and stone exterior with limestone accents sets the tone, while wide plank antique French oak floors, custom millwork, oversized 9-foot solid wood doors, and vaulted shiplap ceilings with oak beams lead to a dramatic 27-foot great room. The chef’s kitchen is built for gathering, with oversized dual islands, custom cabinetry, a hand-crafted hood, Sub-Zero refrigeration, a Wolf dual-fuel range, Cove dishwasher, and custom stone surfaces, plus a separate scullery with secondary and convection speed ovens. A floor-to-ceiling limestone fireplace wall anchors the main living area, and a cocktail lounge adds Taj Mahal leathered quartzite, wine and beverage refrigeration, and shelving. Outside, sliding glass doors open to a heated saltwater infinity-edge pool and spa, outdoor kitchen, fireplace, and covered porches with heaters and oversized fans—finished with a deeded assigned boat slip for days on the lake.

With the lake as its backdrop, this Calvert & White custom home pairs a private setting with luxury finishes and high-end materials throughout. The Downsview Kitchen Design centers on a huge marble island, Miele, Sub-Zero, and Wolf appliances, and custom cabinetry beneath vaulted wood ceilings and carefully chosen lighting. Six fireplaces and expansive walls of casement windows shape bright, comfortably scaled interiors, while an elevator connects the levels with ease. Four bedroom suites include a primary suite featuring four walk-in closets, a dressing/makeup area, and an enclosed tub room with lake views. Downstairs, a second kitchen, bar area, and walk-in wine room invite long, lingering evenings. Porches and patios extend from the suites, opening to a resort-style pool, expansive patio areas, and stone walls. Upgraded geothermal systems, a whole-house generator, spray foam insulation, solid wood doors, and Pella windows complete the experience in Greensboro.

Just minutes from historic Madison, Georgia, Sweetgrass unfolds as a 96-acre Southern sporting and equestrian estate shaped around land, tradition, and unhurried days. The property encompasses three residences set amid beautifully tended grounds, along with a remarkable equestrian facility and a dedicated sportsman’s barn. Stocked ponds and carefully managed wildlife habitat—including irrigated food plots—support the rhythms of sporting life, from crisp autumn mornings in a deer stand to afternoons spent shooting clays or casting a line. Pastures invite time on horseback, while muscadines and pecan trees frame easy gatherings as family and friends drift back from the day’s adventures. Here, luxury reads as space, craftsmanship, and hospitality—experienced in simple rituals like coffee on the porch and long, open-air rides.

Along the water’s edge in Reynolds Lake Oconee, this lakefront estate unfolds across nearly three private acres with an impressive 365 feet of shoreline. Positioned in a deep-water cove with sweeping main lake views—and neighboring a 10-acre tract—the setting feels notably quiet, with minimal boat traffic and a sense of having the cove to yourself. Inside, an extensive renovation brings vaulted ceilings, new hardwood flooring, newer roofs, and thoughtfully updated baths, including a redesigned primary bath and secondary baths with granite countertops, slate tile floors and surrounds, and cast-iron tubs. The 2024 kitchen pairs a Sub-Zero refrigerator with a 36-inch Bosch gas range, Bosch dishwasher, custom cabinetry, and black-and-brass knurled hardware. A finished terrace level adds a fireside family room and entertainment bar, while a bonus suite above the three-car garage includes a kitchenette and half bath. Outside, days revolve around the maximum-size dock with boat lift, fire pit seating, and sunset views over the lake. Golf Membership available.
