5 Luxury Georgia Estates for Resort-Style Lake and City Living

In the heart of Brookhaven’s coveted Oak Forest Hills neighborhood, this like-new 6-bedroom, 5-bath residence balances everyday ease with a true resort-style backyard. The private outdoor setting is a showpiece: a saltwater pool with waterfall and diving rock, covered stone patio, mature landscaping, a flat lawn for play, and a natural wooded buffer that enhances privacy. Indoors, natural light moves through a thoughtful floor plan with 10-foot ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and custom finishes. A new chef’s kitchen opens to the family room with coffered ceilings and a stone fireplace, complemented by formal living and dining rooms. A main-level guest suite, walk-in pantry, generous mudroom, and attached two-car garage add practicality. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a sitting room and spa-inspired bath with treetop views, while a finished terrace level—with media room, kitchenette, and exterior entrance—invites flexible living.

Set on Turnberry Court in Duluth, this residence layers modern luxury with deeply sourced craft. In the den and kitchen, massive beams and reclaimed material from an 18th-century dairy barn in Northeast Wisconsin pair with 9” solid wood shiplap for a richly textured backdrop. The den adds quartersawn white oak cabinetry built in place, alongside an invisible theater-grade sound system with six ceiling speakers and a concealed front speaker. In the living and dining rooms, fireplace mantels reclaimed from a pre-Civil War estate in Newnan, Georgia bring a sense of Southern history. French Oak flooring—hand-finished in Versailles parquet and 10” planks—runs across the main level, with parquet and plank designs continuing above. Two kitchens include a 2021 reimagining with exotic marble and Thermador appliances, plus a 2022 lower-level remodel with a solid-walnut island, home theater, indoor sauna, and a 2,000-bottle wine room with dual HVAC and app control, all supported by recent systems updates and a pool with new equipment.

Along the water’s edge in The Landing at Reynolds Lake Oconee, this retreat unfolds across more than 1.5 acres, where mature trees and lush landscaping create a rare sense of privacy. Cypress wood construction and stone accents set a timeless tone, echoed inside by vaulted ceilings, abundant windows, and a cozy fireplace that anchors the main living spaces. The layout spans two levels and is designed for both full-time ease and effortless weekends away. Step outside to large decks on the main and terrace levels—natural extensions of the home that invite slow mornings, outdoor meals, and easy entertaining. With Lake Oconee nearby and world-class amenities just minutes away, daily life here balances quiet waterfront living with the option of a club membership when you want more.

Along the water’s edge in The Peninsula on Jackson Lake, this new-construction estate pairs refined craftsmanship with the relaxed cadence of lake life.

Expansive windows draw in beautiful lake views, while a screened porch extends daily living outdoors—an easy place for quiet mornings, sunset watching, and year-round enjoyment. Created for both everyday comfort and grand entertaining, the home also includes a three-car garage and the option for a private pool to complete a personal retreat. Set within a prestigious gated community near Monticello and within easy reach of the Lake Oconee area, it offers a natural, recreation-forward lifestyle—boating, kayaking, fishing, and waterfront dining—followed by a return to lakeside calm.

With Lake Oconee as its backdrop, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath lake home in Great Waters at Reynolds Lake Oconee is set on a mid-cove lot designed for calmer views—away from heavy boat traffic—where sunsets take center stage.

Downstairs, the terrace level extends the gathering spaces with an inviting bar suited to larger entertaining, plus a fourth bedroom and bath that functions like a second primary suite.
