Pointe Royal, Lake Oconee | Neighborhood Guide
Pointe Royal is a two-road subdivision — Pointe Royal Road and Kings Row Road — tucked onto the backside of a quiet cove on the Richland side of Lake Oconee in Greene County, Georgia. It sits directly across the water from a cluster of neighboring communities, including Mallard Glen, Eagle’s Landing, and Buena Vista. As with those neighbors, many of the homes here date to the 1990s, though a good number have since seen significant renovations.
It is also one of the smallest subdivisions on this shore. Sixteen individual properties have ever come through the MLS in Pointe Royal. A buyer set on this particular cove should expect to wait for the right house rather than choose from several.
Where Pointe Royal Is Located on Lake Oconee
Pointe Royal sits on the Richland side of Lake Oconee in Greene County, on the backside of a quiet cove across the water from Mallard Glen, Eagle’s Landing, and Buena Vista. The map below shows where the subdivision falls on the lake.
Every Home in Pointe Royal Is on the Water
There is no off-water inventory here. Every listing this subdivision has ever produced has been a lakefront home with its own private frontage — not shared access, not a community dock, not a water view from across the road. That is unusual even on the Richland side of Lake Oconee, and it follows directly from how the place was laid out. Pointe Royal Road and Kings Row Road run out along the shoreline, and the ground behind them was never built on.
The lots are narrow and deep. Most carry right around a hundred feet of shoreline on roughly three quarters of an acre, which puts the houses close enough together that you will know your neighbors. Nearly every home has a basement, and that tells you something about the terrain — the ground falls away toward the water on most of these lots.
New Homesites on the Way
The undeveloped interior is about to change. A plat for eleven new interior homesites has been completed and is under review with the county. For a buyer who wants the character of an established lake community with the option to build new, that combination is genuinely rare on Lake Oconee, and it would give this subdivision its first non-waterfront homes in forty years.
What Homes in Pointe Royal Sell For
Pointe Royal has moved sharply. Sales closing between 2018 and 2021 came in around $630,000. The seven that have closed since sit closer to $1,025,000. Across the full record, houses have sold anywhere from $295,000 up to $1,650,000.
The clearest evidence is a single house. 1130 Kings Row Road sold for $800,000 in May 2019 and $1,580,000 in March 2024. Same house, same lot, essentially the same square footage both times. It nearly doubled in under five years without anyone adding a room to it.
The ceiling is a different story. 1550 Pointe Royal Road was listed at $1,750,000 in 2024 and expired after a hundred days. 1570 Pointe Royal Road asked $1,250,000 that same year, expired after 187 days, and eventually sold this past April for $1,167,500. Pointe Royal has proven $1.65 million once. It has not yet proven anything above it, and the sellers who tested that ground sat.
The rest of the record says the same thing in a quieter way. Priced right, houses here go quickly — the typical sale has gone under contract in about seven weeks at 97 percent of the original asking price. Priced wrong, they sit for six months and expire. 1010 Kings Row Road was listed three separate times across two years before it finally sold in May 2020.
That house is worth a second look, because it makes a point worth making. It carries 260 feet of recorded water frontage, by a wide margin the most in the subdivision, in a neighborhood where a hundred feet is the norm. It is also one of the largest houses on either road. It sold at $648,000, squarely in the middle of what Pointe Royal was doing at the time. All that shoreline bought no premium at all. On Lake Oconee it rarely does — what you are looking out at matters far more than how much of the bank belongs to you.
Dock depth is the thing to check before you commit. The handful of listings that record it run from about three and a half feet to seven, which is a real spread inside one small cove. Three and a half feet is fine for a pontoon and a problem for a wake boat. Depth is agent-entered and most listings leave it blank, so treat it as a question to ask about the specific dock rather than a number you can look up. Any dock work is subject to Georgia Power shoreline permitting.
Homes, Seawalls and the HOA
Every home that has come through the MLS in Pointe Royal was built between 1982 and 2007, with the bulk of the subdivision going up through the 1990s. Houses range from about 1,400 square feet to just under 5,000, so there is real variety here rather than one floor plan repeated down the road.
Every single property in the record has a seawall. Twenty of them are wood and three are concrete. That is worth knowing before you fall for a house. A wood seawall is a maintained asset with a finite life, and on a home built in the early nineties there is a fair chance you are looking at original timber. Ask when it was last rebuilt, and walk it yourself while you are down at the dock.
There is no homeowners association in Pointe Royal. No listing in the record carries dues, and there is no association governing the two roads — no mandatory fees, no amenity assessment, nothing to budget for beyond your own house and your own dock.
