Lake Oconee Real Estate

Whether you move to the shore of Lake Oconee or choose the surrounding area, you’ll find yourself surrounded by farms, golf communities, and opportunities to enjoy the water. This area, known more broadly as Lake Country, is just an hour’s drive away from Atlanta in one direction, Athens in another, and Augusta in a third. This makes it easy to go see Masters Week in Augusta, or catch the Bulldogs football games at the University of Georgia, as well as to travel into the big city.

It’s easy to enjoy recreation on Lake Oconee even if you don’t have a lakefront house. That’s because the State of Georgia and various towns offer many public beaches and docks.

The rural areas also offer plenty of recreational opportunities. Trails for ATVs make the forests perfect for this sort of off-roading, and there are some hiking opportunities, too. If you love natural surroundings, you’ll love these locations around Lake Oconee.

Even though the towns near Lake Oconee are small, there are plenty of hotels and tourists. Notably, there is a Ritz Carlton on Lake Oconee. Most of the Ritz’s patrons are golfers and their families, and they enjoy spending their vacations enjoying the remote lake and its recreational opportunities when they aren’t on one of the area’s many golf courses.

Gated and un-gated communities are both present, making it easy to get a home with the desired surroundings. Planned communities have golfing as a central theme, though those on the lake have expanded to include many other, mostly water-based, recreational activities as well.

Golfers will love the many golfing communities, some of which offer property right on the shore of Lake Oconee. Fishing fans will also enjoy being on or near the lake, which has marinas that provide a wide variety of services.

If you’re looking for rural Lake Oconee real estate outside of any towns, you won’t have trouble finding it, either. Farms and forests are plentiful, making it a great place to set up a homestead, start or take over a farm, or just enjoy nature.
