5 Luxury Georgia Homes from Brookhaven to Lake Oconee

In the heart of Brookhaven’s coveted Oak Forest Hills, this like-new six-bedroom, five-bath residence pairs a light-filled, thoughtfully planned interior with an outdoor setting that feels deliberately secluded. The backyard is a private oasis: a saltwater pool with waterfall and diving rock, covered stone patio, mature landscaping, a flat lawn for play, and a natural wooded buffer that brings exceptional privacy. Inside, 10-foot ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and custom finishes carry through a seamless main level anchored by a new chef’s kitchen open to a spacious family room with coffered ceilings and a stone fireplace, plus formal living and dining rooms. A walk-in pantry, generous mudroom, main-level guest suite, and attached two-car garage round out the floor. Upstairs, the primary suite features a sitting room, spa-style bath, and peaceful treetop views, while a finished terrace level—media room, kitchenette, exterior entrance, and abundant storage—invites flexible living. Minutes from Murphy Candler Park and downtown Atlanta, days here unfold with ease and quiet.

Along the water’s edge in the prestigious gated community of The Peninsula on Jackson Lake, this new-construction estate pairs sophisticated craftsmanship with the relaxed cadence of lakeside living. Meticulously designed throughout, the residence offers five spacious bedrooms and 6 1/2 luxurious baths, finished with exquisite details and designer fixtures. Expansive windows draw the lake into everyday moments, while a screened porch sets the tone for quiet mornings, spectacular sunsets, and year-round outdoor living. The layout is designed for both daily comfort and grand entertaining, complemented by a three-car garage and the option for a private pool. Life here centers on Jackson Lake’s natural beauty and recreation—boating, kayaking, and fishing—along with access to popular waterfront restaurants. Close to Monticello and within easy reach of the Lake Oconee area, it’s a setting that invites unhurried days by the water.

Set on Turnberry Court in Duluth, this residence reads like a study in heritage craft and quietly modern performance. In the den and kitchen, massive beams and reclaimed material from an 18th-century dairy barn in Northeast Wisconsin pair with 9-inch solid wood shiplap for a richly tactile backdrop. The den’s quartersawn white oak cabinetry is built in place and hand-finished, while an invisible theater-grade sound system integrates six ceiling speakers with a front speaker hidden within the woodwork. Living and dining rooms are anchored by fireplace mantels reclaimed from a pre-Civil War estate in Newnan, Georgia. French Oak flooring spans the main level in a hand-finished Versailles parquet pattern with 10-inch planks, continuing upstairs in parquet and plank designs. Two kitchens shine: the upper suite (reimagined in 2021) with exotic marble and Thermador appliances, and a 2022 lower-level kitchen with a solid-walnut island, plus a professional home theater, indoor sauna, and a 2,000-bottle wine room with dual HVAC and app control—then, the day ends by the pool with its updated pumps and heater.

The layout spans two levels with four bedrooms and 3.5 baths, designed for the rhythms of full-time living or easy weekends away. A cozy fireplace anchors the main gathering space, inviting unhurried evenings indoors. Outside, large decks on both the main and terrace levels extend daily life into the landscape—well-suited for quiet mornings, relaxed dinners, and unforced entertaining. With club membership available and world-class amenities just minutes away, it’s a calm, comfortable way to live on Lake Oconee.

Along a mid-cove lot on Lake Oconee, this charming lake home in Great Waters at Reynolds Lake Oconee is designed for the easy rhythm of waterfront living—lake views and memorable sunsets, without the feel of heavy boat traffic.
