Oconee Landing is a highly desirable, gated residential community 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. 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.
