Lake Oconee has officially exploded into one of the premier lake and golf destinations in the Southeast. But if you’ve been keeping an eye on the local real estate market, you already know the reality: waterfront homes now start at a minimum of $1 million, and golf course properties aren't far behind.
So, how do you get the coveted Lake Oconee lifestyle without the seven-figure price tag or the massive headache of renovating an older home?
The answer is being built right now on Carey Station Road: The Bluffs at Carey Station.
Check out my full video tour and neighborhood breakdown below, and read on to discover why this is the most exciting new residential development hitting Greensboro, GA.
High-End Living Starting in the High $300s
What makes The Bluffs at Carey Station so significant is how it completely changes the math for Lake Oconee buyers. With new construction homes starting in the high $300s, buyers can secure a brand-new, warranty-backed home in a master-planned community.
Whether you are looking for a quick move-in home or want to build from the ground up and choose your own design selections, this neighborhood offers an accessible entry point into an otherwise highly exclusive luxury market.
Phase 1 of the development is already underway. Situated on a 44-acre parcel, the initial site plan features 90 residential home sites. Notably, the developers have prioritized a spacious neighborhood feel, dedicating a generous 19 acres entirely to preserved open space.
Modern Farmhouse Design & Elevated Finishes
The homes at The Bluffs are meticulously crafted to complement today’s modern lifestyle. Showcasing open-concept floor plans and beautiful farmhouse-inspired architecture, these properties feel distinctly upscale.
The builders have included thoughtfully selected contemporary finishes and luxury details that you typically only find in high-end custom builds, including:
Elegant stand-alone soaking tubs
Convenient kitchen cup wash stations
Smart ceiling fans and stylish electric fireplaces
LED-illuminated bathroom mirrors
Unbeatable Lake Oconee Location
You don't have to live directly on the water to enjoy everything Lake Oconee has to offer. The Bluffs is perfectly positioned to give you quick, effortless access to the area's best amenities.
Proximity to Essentials: You are less than five minutes from the top-rated Lake Oconee Academy and St. Mary’s Good Samaritan Hospital.
Dining & Shopping: You have incredibly quick access to the rapidly expanding Oconee Town Center, which already features Home Depot, Longhorn Steakhouse, and Chick-fil-A, with Kroger, Academy Sports, and major clothing retailers coming soon.
Recreation: Want to hit the water? Store your boat at any of the nearby full-service marinas. Looking to tee off? Play a round at the publicly accessible, award-winning Harbor Club golf course just down the road.
Plus, you won't even have to leave the neighborhood to stay active. The Bluffs at Carey Station is zoned as a Planned Unit Development (PUD) with private roads, and will soon feature a robust amenities hub including a community pool and pickleball courts.
Why You Need a Buyer's Agent for New Construction (And Why It Costs You $0)
If you drive into the neighborhood today, you will meet the builder's friendly on-site sales team. But it is crucial to remember: they represent the builder’s bottom line, not yours.
Here is why it makes sense to partner with me as your real estate agent when buying in The Bluffs:
1. Insider Knowledge of National Builders I have direct, firsthand experience buying from national builders. I purchased my own brand-new vacation home in the Florida Panhandle from Toll Brothers. I know the construction process, the sales playbooks, and how these companies operate from the inside out.
2. It Costs You Absolutely Nothing Bringing your own agent costs you zero extra dollars. The buyer’s agent commission is already built into the price of the home, whether you use an agent or not. If you go unrepresented, the builder simply keeps that money. Why not have a free expert advocate in your corner?
3. Expert Negotiation & Project Management As your advocate, I know how to negotiate for the leverage points that matter most:
Securing prime lot placements
Negotiating upgraded finishings and design center credits
Getting builder contributions for closing cost buy-downs and rate incentives
Furthermore, if you decide to build from the ground up, I serve as your local eyes and ears. I conduct periodic on-site check-ins and send you video updates during the build process, ensuring you always know exactly what is happening on your lot.
