298 W River Bend Drive, Eatonton, GA 31024

About this home

This is not a home built from a typical blueprint. It was designed to capture the heart of the most discerning buyer. On the coveted south end of Lake Oconee, near the dam and the jumping rock, a short boat ride from the Ritz-Carlton, this custom estate in Eatonton's River Bend began as a modest lake cottage and was wholly reimagined into a thoughtfully designed Lake Oconee home. A designer foyer opens like a gallery, where 24-foot ceilings and contemporary iron doors set an immediate tone of light and space. This builder is known across Lake Oconee for her elevated finishes - and custom doors are her signature. Throughout, metals, woods, and stone are layered with an eye for how they meet, beneath custom pine beams and color-drenched walls that are magazine worthy, yet stay easy and comfortable for lake living. The living spaces flow toward the water, with walls of glass framing Lake Oconee from nearly every room. The floorplan is the ONE lake buyers rarely find and always want: a true main-level walk-out with the primary and secondary suites all on one level, and a guest suite, gym, and game room upstairs. The chef's kitchen is made for entertaining with an oversized Island, coffee bar + wine bar (pick your mood). The game room for fun - pool table, shuffleboard, darts, wet bar, popcorn machine and all. While a bunk room sleeping up to fourteen keeps the whole crew close. Outside, imagine your own private resort: a salt water pool framed by lake views, a volleyball court, a whimsical doggie splash pad, a private dock + boat lift and patios that dissolve the line between indoors and out. Turnkey, fully furnished, and non-gated: no dues, your rules! Direct access to one of the most beautiful stretches of Lake Oconee in Eatonton, Georgia.
