Lighthouse Circle, Lighthouse Point, or Both
Both names get used for the same place, and there is a reason why.
Lighthouse Point is the area. It has its own formal entrance with an old gatehouse, unmanned these days, and beyond it sit four streets: Lighthouse Circle, Eagles Nest, Osprey Cove and Harbor Point. Lighthouse Circle is the main drag through it, which is why locals use the street name for the whole enclave as often as they use the area name.
The market records Lighthouse Point as a subsection under the Harbor Club subdivision, though not every agent fills that field in, so a search on the subsection alone will miss listings. If you are looking here, make sure your agent checks street names.
The Light House Pavilion
Inside the entrance there is a pavilion with a volleyball court, signed Light House Pavilion as two words. It is a covered open-air structure with a tower, and it is the shared amenity for the enclave.
Why This Street and Not Another
Harbor Club runs to roughly 1,100 acres and nine miles of shoreline, and the great majority of it is not waterfront. Lighthouse Circle is where the shoreline is.
The water is the reason. It runs deep enough along this stretch to keep a boat in the water year round through the winter drawdown, which is not true everywhere on this lake, and the frontage is generous. It is also minutes by boat from the Ritz-Carlton.
A point lot here carries a premium over the rest of the street, and not every lot on Lighthouse Circle is one. That distinction matters more to the number than square footage does, so establish which you are looking at before you compare two houses on the same road.
And it is not close. Turnberry Circle and Augusta National Court are the next most expensive streets inside the gate, followed by Shoal Creek Court and Glen Eagle Drive. Lighthouse Circle sits clear of all of them.
The Flagpole and the Sandbar
Lighthouse Pointe is the point itself, and you know it when you see it: a huge flagpole flying an American flag, visible from well out on the water. Locally that is the whole vocabulary for this place — the flagpole. Nobody here calls it by a creek or a river name — it is Harbor Club, and within it, Lighthouse Circle or Lighthouse Pointe or those houses by the flag.
The point looks out toward the Lake Oconee sandbar, which for years was the spot on this lake to pull up, anchor and spend an afternoon. It still draws boats, though less than it once did. Wake boats have changed it — the wake they throw makes it uncomfortable to sit anchored in the way people used to.
What Has Actually Sold Here
Houses on Lighthouse Circle sell in the mid $1 millions and up, with the top reaching past $3 million so far.
I have sold on this street twice — a homesite, and a house in April 2023. The homesite has since been built on and that house is nearing completion now, which is why this street carries brand-new homes alongside others from the late 1990s.
What the repeat sales show
Several houses here have traded twice inside the last few years, and those repeats tell you more than any comparable could. Between 2019 and 2022 values on this street roughly doubled. What has happened since is a slower, steadier climb on top of that.
That distinction matters. Sellers who have priced as though 2021 were still running have generally found out the hard way.
Where the ceiling is
This matters more here than anywhere else in Harbor Club, because the gap between what gets asked and what gets paid is wide. Asking prices on this street have repeatedly been set well above what it has actually produced, and those listings have sat, come down, and in some cases come off the market entirely before selling nearer the proven range.
The pattern is consistent: Lighthouse Circle supports very large numbers, and it punishes optimism. If you are selling here, the closed sales are the argument. The active listings are not.
There is also a double-lot estate on the street that will test the top of this market when it trades. Whatever it does will reset what everyone here believes the street supports, and that is worth watching whichever side of a deal you are on.
What This Street Looked Like in 2010
It is worth remembering that not every house on Lighthouse Circle was always what it is now.
During the foreclosure years I walked homes on this street that had been stripped before the bank took them — light fixtures pulled out of the ceilings, plumbing fixtures removed, owners who simply took what they could carry and left. Lake Oconee was certainly not immune to what happened between 2008 and 2012, and the most expensive street in Harbor Club was not immune either.
What followed is the reason the numbers above look the way they do. Buyers with cash and vision bought those houses, and some of them rebuilt to a standard the street had never seen. That is a specific kind of local knowledge, and it is not in any listing feed: knowing which houses on this street were rescued, which were rebuilt, and what that means for what they are worth today.
Buying or Selling on Lighthouse Circle
Very little trades here, which means inventory is nearly always scarce. It also means the details vary a lot too — frontage, depth, whether the lot is a point, whether the home has a pool, and when it was last updated — carry a lot of weight.
If you are considering a purchase here, ask me for the closed record on the specific address rather than the street average. If you are selling, the same record tells us where the ceiling sits and what has happened to sellers who tested it.
Lighthouse Circle: Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Lighthouse Circle on Lake Oconee?
Lighthouse Circle is inside Harbor Club, a gated golf and lake community in Greensboro, Greene County. In the market record it is recorded as the Lighthouse Point subsection of Harbor Club. Harbor Club is about four miles from I-20 exit 130 along Lake Oconee Parkway.
What do homes on Lighthouse Circle sell for?
Houses here sell in the mid $1 millions and up, with the top of the street reaching past $3 million. Very little comes up, so ask for the record on a specific address rather than working from a street figure.
Is Lighthouse Circle the most expensive street at Harbor Club?
Yes, by a wide margin. It sits clear of Augusta National Court, Shoal Creek Court and Glen Eagle Drive, and a long way above Harbor Club as a whole.
How deep is the water on Lighthouse Circle?
Deep by Lake Oconee standards, and generally sufficient to keep a boat in the water through winter drawdown. It still varies lot to lot, so confirm it for the specific property.
How often do houses on Lighthouse Circle come up for sale?
Rarely. Lighthouse Circle is a loop with a good number of homes on it, and most of them have simply not turned over in years. When something does come up it tends to move quickly.
Is it Lighthouse Circle or Lighthouse Point?
Both, and they are the same place. Lighthouse Point is the area, with its own formal entrance and an old unmanned gatehouse. Four streets sit inside it: Lighthouse Circle, Eagles Nest, Osprey Cove and Harbor Point. Lighthouse Circle is the main road through, so locals use either name. The market records Lighthouse Point as a subsection of Harbor Club, but not every agent fills that field in.
Is Lighthouse Circle gated?
Yes. It sits inside Harbor Club, which has a gated entrance with a gatehouse. Note that Harbor Club’s golf course is semi-private and open to public play, though the residential streets are not.
Do Lighthouse Circle homes have private docks?
Yes, these are private-frontage lots with their own docks. Any dock work beyond replacing decking triggers current Georgia Power standards, so have the dock assessed before you assume it can be modified or expanded.
Thinking About Lighthouse Circle?
I have proudly sold on Lighthouse Circle. I see it now, as it sits, at its highest values ever. And I’ve walked the same homes at their lowest — stripped and abandoned in the wake of the Great Recession that hit Lake Oconee so hard.
