Where Meadowcrest Is Located Near Lake Oconee
Meadowcrest is on Old Phoenix Road, about 2.4 miles south of Highway 44 (Lake Oconee Parkway). From the highway, turn at the pyramid onto Old Phoenix Road, pass Phoenix Shores and Phoenix Lake, and cross the Old Phoenix Road bridge over the lake. Keep going past Lake Forest Drive and Wards Chapel Road, and the stone entrance is on the left at Sage Street.
Lake Forest Drive is the road into Lake Oconee Plantation, and Wards Chapel Road leads to Chapel Springs and Waters Edge, so those are the nearest lake neighborhoods by road.
The new Lake Oconee Publix, at the corner of Old Phoenix Road and Highway 44, is about five minutes away. Head the other direction and Old Phoenix Road runs south to the Sparta Highway (GA 16), the quick way into downtown Eatonton, about 10 miles and 16 minutes from here. Milledgeville is about 40 minutes.

The Homes in Meadowcrest
Meadowcrest opened in the fall of 2019. Kevin Price developed it and built the houses himself, and from the start the plan was to sell finished homes, not empty lots. The first homes went up along Sage Street beginning in 2019, and most of Sage Court was built from 2023 to 2025.
They are craftsman-style houses with covered front and back porches and two-car garages. Most are single story, with the primary suite on the main floor, a vaulted great room with a fireplace, and granite in the kitchen. Several of the larger plans add a fourth bedroom or a bonus room over the garage.
The streets have streetlights and underground utilities, and the roads are paved and maintained by the county.

Sales in 2025 and 2026 have landed between $385,000 and $453,000. Size and floor plan account for most of the spread: the smaller three-bedroom ranches sit at the bottom of the range, and the larger plans at the top.
That pricing puts Meadowcrest alongside Alexander Lakes and a step above Hunter’s Chase, two other newer neighborhoods of big lots on the Putnam side. Homes here also come up for lease, recently at about $2,500 to $3,000 a month.
Who Meadowcrest Suits
Buyers who want a newer one-level house on a big lot near the lake without paying lake prices. The HOA is small, the houses are young, and there is room in the yard for a garden or a dog.
It also suits anyone who wants an easy run in both directions: five minutes to Publix and the Lake Oconee restaurants, and a straight shot down Old Phoenix Road into Eatonton or further south into Milledgeville.
