Oconee Landing, Lake Oconee | Neighborhood Guide
Oconee Landing is a highly desirable, gated residential subdivision set on the rolling hills of the White Plains side of Lake Oconee in Greene County, Georgia. Even the drive in makes a statement: turning off Flat Rock Church Road onto Howard Lewis Road, you pass farms, ponds, and massive standing boulders decorating both sides of the road before you reach the gate.
Along with Emerald Shores, Oconee Landing is one of the premier established communities on this side of Lake Oconee. It offers a genuinely amenity-rich setting: fantastic internal ponds, scenic walking trails, an outdoor pavilion, and a community fire pit. Homeowners also enjoy superior water access through a private neighborhood boat ramp and dedicated day docks. The community is gated, though the gates are frequently open.
This neighborhood boasts some of the newest, largest, and most opulent builds outside of the gated golf communities at Lake Oconee — the MLS record bears that out, with every home on file built between 2017 and 2023. Most of the waterfront has already been developed, and slowly but surely the interior lots are becoming active construction sites. It is a truly organized, well-developed neighborhood, and the two main roads — Oconee Landing Drive and Vista Bay — wind through rolling, manicured terrain.

Margie’s Take: A Lesson I Never Forgot
Oconee Landing was a life lesson for me. I remember back in 2009, as the real estate world tumbled, when word on the street hit that a huge parcel of land on the White Plains side had gone into foreclosure and been taken back by the bank. It sat for a few years before an acquisition company picked it up. Around 2012, that former farmland was platted out and auctioned off in a couple of high-profile rounds. Lakefront lots went for around $200,000. Today those same lots have more than doubled in value, and multi-million-dollar lakefront homes sit on most of them. Note to self: buy the auction land. You will sadly never get a second chance — I didn’t.
What Those Lots Became
The auction lots are now some of the most expensive real estate on this side of Lake Oconee. Recorded sales in Oconee Landing run from $667,500 to $2,700,000, with the typical house landing around $1.4 million. The three sales since late 2023 have come in nearer $2.3 million, and the $2,700,000 sale on Oconee Landing Drive in March 2025 is among the highest recorded anywhere on the Richland and White Plains side.
One house makes the trajectory plain. A 4,378 square foot home on Oconee Landing Drive sold for $1,950,000 in July 2022 and sold again for $2,300,000 in October 2024 — the same house, twenty-seven months apart, up eighteen percent.
The lots are part of the appeal and part of the price. They run from just under an acre to nine acres, which is estate-scale for a lake community and rare outside the golf gates. Recorded water frontage sits around 150 to 160 feet with dock depth near six feet. Not every lot is waterfront: most listings carry private dock access, but several rely on the community dock instead, so confirm which you are buying. Docks are subject to Georgia Power shoreline permitting.
