About Lake Oconee
Lake Oconee is Georgia's premier lake destination — a 19,000-acre reservoir surrounded by championship golf, resort living, and waterfront estates that rival anything on the East Coast. Reynolds Lake Oconee is the flagship community, with six championship golf courses, The Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, and estate homes reaching $5M+. This is where Atlanta's executives build their primary residences or second homes.
Beyond Reynolds, the lake offers numerous communities with varying price points — from $400K homes with lake access to $3M+ waterfront estates with private docks and panoramic views. The town of Greensboro provides small-town services and Southern charm. Lake Oconee is a 90-minute drive from Atlanta, making it viable as a primary residence for remote workers or a weekend retreat.
