About This Home

Offering one of the best price-per-square-foot values in the area!! This extraordinary, fully renovated and custom-expanded 5-bedroom, 5.5-bath Lake Oconee estate was taken down to the studs and rebuilt with all new plumbing, electric, HVAC, and septic—no detail overlooked. Fully furnished and completely turnkey, it delivers high-end luxury, elevated design, and an unbeatable lakeside setting. A dramatic foyer with an elegant staircase sets the stage for the home’s refined style. The showstopping chef’s kitchen is designed for entertaining, boasting an oversized island, premium appliances, custom cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and a beautifully appointed wet bar. Expansive windows and sliding doors fill the main level with natural light and capture stunning lake views throughout. Four spacious en-suite bedrooms with walk-in closets offer privacy and comfort, while the oversized bunk suite—sleeping up to fourteen with its own full bath—creates the perfect retreat for hosting large groups. High-end finishes, custom lighting, and thoughtful details shine in every room. The entertainment wing is a true standout, featuring a game room with pool, shuffleboard, darts, a full wet bar, a popcorn-and-candy station, and a private gym. Outside, the home lives like a private resort. Enjoy the custom pool, private dock, volleyball court, doggie splash pad, expansive patios, and multiple covered porches ideal for gatherings or quiet lakeside relaxation. Lush landscaping and direct lake access create a seamless indoor–outdoor living experience. Ideally located just minutes from the new Publix, the boutiques and dining at Harmony Crossing, and both the Cuscowilla and Great Waters golf courses (Cuscowilla membership available), this property combines luxurious lake living with everyday convenience. A rare, fully furnished turnkey opportunity at an incredible new price—this Lake Oconee estate delivers exceptional style, comfort, and the ultimate waterfront lifestyle.
