Arrowhead Landing, Lake Oconee | Neighborhood Guide
Arrowhead Landing is a small subdivision on the north end of Lake Oconee, reached by turning off Harmony Road onto South Sugar Creek Road and following Arrowhead Trail down toward the water. It sits between Oak Hill and The Pointe, and it is about a four or five minute drive from Sugar Creek Marina.
What sets it apart is the architecture. Arrowhead Landing almost certainly holds the highest concentration of original A-frame homes of any subdivision on Lake Oconee, most of them dating to the late 1980s.
Where Arrowhead Landing Is Located on Lake Oconee
Arrowhead Landing is in Putnam County outside Eatonton, on the Sugar Creek arm at the north end of Lake Oconee, built along Arrowhead Trail off South Sugar Creek Road, a few minutes from Sugar Creek Farms. For the wider picture of this side of the lake, see the Lake Oconee homes in Eatonton guide, or browse every community on the Lake Oconee neighborhoods page.
The location is a genuine advantage for weekend owners coming out of Atlanta. Rather than following the usual route, you can exit at Madison and come straight down the recently widened Highway 441, which makes this one of the quicker corners of the lake to reach from the city.
A Buyer’s Guide to the A-Frames of Arrowhead Landing
An A-frame is exactly what the name suggests. The roof begins at or near the foundation and rises steeply to a peak, forming the shape of the letter A, with the roofline doing the work that walls do in a conventional house. The style became a staple of American vacation architecture in the 1960s and 1970s and carried well into the 1980s, because it was inexpensive to build, shed rain without fuss, and allowed a wall of glass at each gable end facing the view.
Inside, an A-frame is typically open and lofted, with a sleeping loft tucked under the peak and a main level that flows without much interior partitioning. The trade-off is usable wall space, since the sloping walls cut into the upper floor and limit where furniture can go. That is precisely why the format suits a weekend lake place better than a full-time family home, and why these houses were built here in the first place.
It is worth knowing that A-frames elsewhere on Lake Oconee, particularly over on the Richland side, have been drawing steady interest from renovators and flippers. The compact footprint and the distinctive silhouette work well for smaller families looking for a simple getaway, and a well-updated A-frame stands out in a market full of conventional lake houses. Arrowhead Landing, with more of them than anywhere else on the lake, is worth watching for that reason.
Homes, Lots, and HOA in Arrowhead Landing

Lots tend to run around an acre, and listings have shown shoreline frontage reaching roughly 145 feet on some parcels, with big-water access from this stretch of the Sugar Creek arm.
