Cannon’s Point on Staci Drive, Lake Oconee | Greensboro GA Guide

Cannon’s Point is a handful of large waterfront properties on Staci Drive off Swords Road, on the Greene County side of Lake Oconee. Very little here has ever changed hands. There are no covenants on any of them and no property owners association. Lots run from about 1.2 to 2.5 acres, most with private lake frontage, and several back onto protected land that will never be built.

The Gravel Road Is the Point

You turn off Swords Road onto gravel, and then onto Staci Drive, which is county-maintained. The moment the tires leave pavement the whole character of the drive changes, and that is not an accident of geography so much as the reason people end up here.
That gravel does real work. It keeps casual traffic out, it signals to anyone who wanders down it that they have left the paved lake, and it is a large part of why properties here feel considerably more private than their acreage alone would suggest. If you want a manicured entrance monument and a paved approach, this is not your street. If you want the opposite, there are not many places left on Lake Oconee that offer it with this much water.

Quick Facts

No Covenants, No POA

There are no covenants on Staci Drive and no property owners association. That is rare on this lake and it cuts both ways.
In your favour: nobody tells you what color to paint the house, how long a boat can sit in the driveway, or whether you can put up a workshop. There are no dues, no assessments, and no board. The properties here reflect that — a 1984 house next to a 2016 build next to a site with two separate homes on it.
Against you: nobody tells your neighbor either. Without covenants you have no architectural control and no mechanism to compel anyone to maintain anything. On a street this small, with mature owners, that has not been a problem. On a larger street it would be a different calculation. Look at what is actually next door and be honest with yourself about whether you would still be happy if it changed hands.

Protected Land Behind Several Lots

This is the detail I would want a buyer to understand. Several properties on Staci Drive border the Oconee National Forest, and one at the end of a cove backs onto several hundred acres of state-owned land.
Protected federal and state land behind a lot means no future subdivision, no clearing, and no neighbor’s roofline appearing in five years. On a lake where the usual anxiety is what gets built on the parcel behind you, that is worth more than it costs — and it is not something a developer can add later.
Not every lot on the street backs onto it, so confirm for the specific property rather than assuming.

The Water

Most of these properties have their own private lake frontage, and it is substantial by the standards of this lake. There is a wharf dock on the street, at least one lot carrying maximum-size dock permissions, and a private peninsula.
Several of these lots have an easy, level walk down to the dock, which on a lake with a lot of steep shoreline is worth noticing. At least one looks out over water on three sides.
Depth is the open question here, and there is no street figure worth quoting. If you are bringing a larger boat, have it measured at the specific dock.

Thin Comparables on a Street This Small

This is the practical difficulty with Staci Drive, and it applies to buyers and sellers equally. A street this small does not generate enough transactions to establish a reliable range, and one sale moves the whole picture.

What has actually closed here sits in a fairly narrow band. Asking prices have at times been set well above it, which is what happens when a street has no recent comparable and an owner is working from what the property feels like it is worth rather than what the street has demonstrated.

If you are selling here, the gap between those two numbers is the thing to get right, and it takes local judgement rather than a comparable sheet. If you are buying, the same thinness means a well-bought property here can be well bought.

Who Cannon’s Point Suits

Buyers who want acreage, privacy and water without a board, a gate or an assessment, and who are not troubled by gravel. The combination of one to two and a half acres, private frontage, protected land behind several lots and zero covenants does not exist in any of the planned communities at any price.
It suits you less well if you want architectural consistency among your neighbors, a paved approach, community amenities, or the reassurance of a deep sales history. Comparables here are thin and a single transaction moves them.
