Exceptional Lake Oconee Estate With More Than 300 Feet of Shoreline Lists for $6.795 Million

Built in 2021 on a nearly one-acre lot in Reynolds Lake Oconee, the five-bedroom home pairs an unusually long stretch of waterfront with an infinity pool, private dock and a view across the lake to the fourth hole of the Landing Course.

At 1201 Big Water Circle in Greensboro, Ga., the defining luxury isn’t inside the house.

It is the shape of the land.

The nearly one-acre property has more than 300 feet of frontage on Lake Oconee, according to the listing, giving the residence an unusually broad relationship with the water. From the backyard, the view extends across one of the lake’s wider sections and toward the fourth hole of the Landing Course at Reynolds Lake Oconee.

The five-bedroom home is asking $6.795 million.

Completed in 2021, the 4,742-square-foot residence was built by Jones and Jones, with architecture by Andrea McKenzie and interiors by Alicia Mooney. Its relatively recent construction brings contemporary technology and finishes to a setting where the waterfront itself remains the principal attraction.

The house has a chef’s kitchen equipped with Sub-Zero, Wolf and Cove appliances, a wine room connected to a full bar, and a great room beneath a barrel ceiling. Outside, retractable screens and built-in heaters extend the entertaining season, while an infinity-edge pool, hot tub, fire features and private dock lead progressively closer to the lake.

Listing agent Kathy Daniel of Keller Williams Realty Lake Oconee calls it “arguably the best lakefront property available in Reynolds,” pointing particularly to the flat lot, privacy and more than 300 feet of water frontage.

That is an ambitious assessment. The underlying numbers, though, make the property’s waterfront worth examining.

More Than 300 Feet Along the Water

Waterfront real estate is often discussed in acres, but acreage alone doesn’t reveal how much of a property actually touches the water.

At Big Water Circle, the listing specifies more than 300 feet of lake frontage across a 0.99-acre parcel.

That combination is important.

A narrow waterfront lot can contain substantial acreage while offering a relatively limited connection to the lake. Here, the property’s configuration gives the house and grounds a much broader water-facing edge.

The lot is also described as unusually flat for its lakefront setting. That creates a relatively direct relationship among the house, pool, lawn and shoreline instead of requiring the landscape to negotiate a steep descent to the water.

Daniel emphasizes both the privacy and the property’s position along one of the largest expanses of the lake, where the view is less constrained by the opposite shoreline.

Golf enters the panorama without replacing the water. Across the lake is a view toward Hole No. 4 of the Landing Course.

For a house inside a golf community, it is an unusual hierarchy: the course is part of the scenery, but the lake remains the main event.

A Barrel Ceiling Frames the Great Room

The interiors were conceived by a team that included builder Jones and Jones, architect Andrea McKenzie and designer Alicia Mooney.

The great room provides one of the clearest expressions of that collaboration.

A dramatic barrel ceiling rises above the principal living space, while a fireplace provides its visual anchor. Beyond it, windows turn the lake and golf-course landscape into another architectural element.

Ceiling treatments appear throughout the residence, with exposed beams adding character to the kitchen, dining area and primary bedroom.

Despite the formal detailing, the listing emphasizes warmth rather than monumentality.

That makes sense for a 4,742-square-foot house. At this price point, the property is substantial without approaching the 10,000- or 15,000-square-foot scale of some resort estates. The emphasis is therefore less on accumulating rooms and more on making the principal spaces work together.

The layout is primarily organized across the main and upper levels, with five bedrooms and 5½ bathrooms according to the listing description.

The Kitchen Leads to a Wine Wall

The chef’s kitchen is equipped with appliances from Sub-Zero, Wolf and Cove and opens into the principal living and entertaining spaces.

But the more distinctive feature lies nearby.

A full bar connects directly to a dedicated wine room, where an illuminated stone wall serves as a display backdrop for the collection.

Instead of relegating wine storage to a basement cellar, the design makes it part of the social experience of the house.

The illuminated stone introduces an intentionally theatrical element, but its position beside the bar gives the feature a practical logic: bottles move from storage to serving without the wine room becoming an isolated destination.

Other details are quieter. Custom window treatments, oversized closets and built-in wall niches appear throughout the residence.

Technology is integrated as well, including Control4 smart-home systems, Sonos audio, security, thermostat sensors and Alexa voice control.

Those systems support a house designed to shift frequently between indoor and outdoor living.

Retractable Screens Turn the Patio Into Another Room

The transition to the backyard begins with the covered deck and patio.

Retractable screens allow the outdoor entertaining area to become more enclosed when necessary, while built-in electric heaters extend its usefulness beyond warm summer days.

Two custom fireplaces provide different experiences: one uses gas logs, while the other is wood-burning.

The combination gives owners the convenience of an instant fire and the atmosphere of a traditional wood fireplace without having to choose between them.

When the screens are open, the space reconnects fully with the pool and lake.

That adaptability is particularly useful for a lake house intended as a primary residence rather than purely a warm-weather retreat. Outdoor living can expand and contract with the weather instead of being abandoned when conditions change.

Daniel describes the house as designed for “sophisticated entertainment and effortless daily living,” and this part of the property makes the case particularly clearly.

The outdoor room can behave like an extension of the interior—or disappear back into the landscape.

The Infinity Pool Points Toward Lake Oconee

Beyond the covered spaces, the backyard becomes increasingly oriented toward the water.

An infinity-edge pool is positioned to take advantage of the lake view, with fire bowls adding light and movement after dark. A built-in hot tub sits alongside it.

Landscape lighting continues from the pool area down the walkway toward the shoreline, visually connecting the house with the lake after sunset.

There is also a dedicated lakefront fire-pit area.

That creates another destination away from the house itself, allowing the waterfront to be used as living space rather than merely scenery viewed from the patio.

The sequence is deliberate: house, covered entertaining area, pool, landscaped grounds, fire pit and finally the lake.

At the end is a private max dock with a built-in bench, boat lift, canopy cover and two remotes.

For owners who spend significant time on Lake Oconee, the dock may ultimately be more important than almost any amenity inside the residence. It turns the lake from a view into transportation and recreation.

The House Is Also a Smart Home

Much of the technology is designed to operate in the background.

A Control4 system provides smart-home integration, while Sonos handles audio. Alexa adds voice control, and the residence also has security and thermostat sensors.

In a house with substantial outdoor living areas, integrated systems can be particularly useful.

Lighting, audio and environmental controls have to operate across spaces that blur the traditional distinction between indoors and outdoors. The extensive night lighting around the pool and pathway toward the lake adds another layer.

The technology is also consistent with the age of the house.

Built in 2021, the residence belongs to a generation of luxury properties in which home automation was incorporated during the original design process rather than retrofitted years later.

That may make the technology less visually interesting than the barrel ceiling or illuminated wine wall.

It also makes it easier to live with.

The 2020 Sale Predates the Current House

The property’s price history contains a dramatic percentage increase that requires context.

Records supplied with the listing show a sale for $637,000 in June 2020. The property is now offered for $6.795 million, which produces a headline increase of roughly 967%.

That figure should not be interpreted as appreciation of the current residence.

The house was built in 2021, after the $637,000 transaction.

The earlier sale therefore predates the existing 4,742-square-foot home and is not an apples-to-apples comparison with today’s offering. The supplied information doesn’t specify precisely what structures or improvements were included in the 2020 transaction.

The current residence came to market on Aug. 5, 2026, at $6.795 million, or approximately $1,433 per square foot.

Without a completed sale of the 2021 house, the supplied history provides no direct basis for calculating how its market value has changed since construction.

The more relevant question for the current asking price is therefore what a buyer assigns to the combination of relatively new construction and a particularly unusual piece of Lake Oconee shoreline.

The House Can Be Reproduced. The Shoreline Can’t.

Luxury lake houses invite buyers to focus on architecture.

There is plenty here to examine: the barrel ceiling, beamed kitchen, illuminated wine display, fireplaces, smart-home systems and retractable outdoor spaces.

But most of those features could theoretically be recreated.

A kitchen can be renovated with the same appliance brands. Another wine wall can be built. Pools can be redesigned, and home-automation systems will eventually be replaced as technology advances.

More than 300 feet of waterfront on a flat, roughly one-acre parcel is different.

So is the property’s position looking across a broad stretch of Lake Oconee while retaining a view toward the golf course.

Those characteristics belong to the site rather than the house.

That may explain why a 4,742-square-foot residence can carry a $6.795 million asking price. The seller isn’t simply offering square footage at $1,433 a foot.

The house occupies a particular piece of shoreline.

And on a lake, the shape of the land can matter more than the size of the house built on it.
