Hickory Point & Fawnfield, Lake Oconee | Neighborhood Guide
Hickory Point and Fawnfield work the same way Beaverdam and The West Place do over on the Richland side: two platted names, one road, one place. Fawnfield is the northern end of the community. Past the turn for Fawnfield Court, Hickory Point Drive becomes Fawnfield Drive, so Fawnfield takes in the north side of the court and the stretch of road beyond it.
Hickory Point Drive and its continuation, Fawnfield Drive, are essentially a single road — and that one road holds everything from interior lots in the low $100,000s to lakefront homes reaching into the millions.

Where Hickory Point and Fawnfield Are Located
Hickory Point Drive runs off Parks Mill Road in Putnam County, north of the Sugar Creek bridge and Sugar Creek Marina, along a large cove at the north end of Lake Oconee. Cedar Cove is right across Parks Mill Road, and The Woods of Lake Oconee is a totally different subdivision that is accessible at the far back of Hickory Point inside Fawnfield. For the wider picture, see the Lake Oconee homes in Eatonton guide.
Fawnfield sits at the very southern edge of Morgan County, and the county line runs down Fawnfield Court itself. Homes on the south side of the court are in Putnam County; the north side of the court and all of Fawnfield Drive are in Morgan County. All the homes in this area carry a Buckhead, Georgia mailing address no matter which side of the line they are on. The entrance monument welcomes drivers to all three neighborhoods. The tax assessor himself probably gets confused in this area. And I feel I should point out that, for some reason, Hickory Point did not get the random “e” added to it like so many other communities on Lake Oconee – case in point(e) – Pointe Royal.
What to Expect on Hickory Point Drive
The road is wooded, rolling and curvy. Interior homes, and there are not many, line the western side. The eastern side is where the lakefront runs, and it holds a mix — original 1980s houses sitting a few doors down from brand-new construction in the dark-sided craftsman style that has taken hold around the lake recently.
The cove these homes sit on is one of the prettier ones at this end of the lake, and the Sugar Creek Boat Landing is close enough that you could nearly walk it. I would not, though. The road is hilly and blind in places, with no shoulder to speak of, and that is a real consideration if you are picturing evening walks with a dog or kids on bikes.
Homes and Prices in Hickory Point and Fawnfield
Build dates run from the mid 1980s through the 2000s, with a handful of recent new builds. For a subdivision built along one road, Hickory Point has produced a surprising number of sales over the past five years, and the range is wide: interior lots have sold in the low $100,000s while lakefront has reached toward $1.5 million.
Most of the homes have a large lake view but there is one cove that juts in far enough that wharf docks are needed. But a majority of the homes look northeast towards the gated community of Sailview.
Oconee Midlake Boat & Self Storage is the one to remember. It sits at 287 Parks Mill Road on the same side as Hickory Point Drive, with covered and fully enclosed trailered storage behind a gate and 24/7 access by code, about 250 yards from the Sugar Creek public boat ramp. If a particular dock here reads too shallow for the boat you want, or you are buying an interior lot with no water frontage at all, storing the boat there and launching at the public ramp is a workable arrangement rather than a consolation prize. Plenty of owners on this end of the lake do exactly that.
The HOA picture is murky. Covenants appear to apply here, but dues barely surface at all — the only figure I have seen is a $50 payment twice a year. That pattern usually points to a voluntary or largely dormant association rather than an enforced one, but it is not documented clearly anywhere, so treat it as an open question and ask for the covenants in writing. 1 listing for sale now $635,000 3 bd · 2 ba · 1,660 sq ft · Lakefront 216 Fawnfield Court, Buckhead, GA 30625 Listing courtesy of Drake Realty Lake Area, Inc., 706-705-4203 · #71418 Similar home in Sugar Bend $1,845,000 6 bd · 5 ba · 5,554 sq ft · Lakefront 1901 Sugar Creek Trail, Buckhead, GA 30625 Listing courtesy of Dwell Real Estate, 706-612-5576 · #70192 Similar home in Cedar Cove $1,950,000 4 bd · 4 ba · 3,570 sq ft · Lakefront 115 Cedar Cove Court, Buckhead, GA 30625 Listing courtesy of Luxury Lake Oconee, 706-453-9243 · #72028 Non-commercial use only.
