I talk to buyers every week who are looking for the same thing — a new construction home on Lake Oconee that's actually built well, in a community they want to be in, without the two-year wait that custom building usually requires.

That's exactly what I have right now. Four homes, one builder, in two of the most sought-after communities on the lake. Two homes are available now — one move-in ready, one completing in a few months — and two more just broke ground. All four are built by Right Angle Construction, a builder I know well. Larry and I personally chose Right Angle to build our new home on Rose Creek in Reynolds Lake Oconee. We're about 60 days out from moving in, and I can tell you firsthand — the craftsmanship, the communication, the way they run a project — it's the real deal. So when I recommend their work to my clients, it comes from experience, not just a business relationship.

Here's what's available right now and what's on the way.

Why Right Angle Construction Stands Out on Lake Oconee

Right Angle Construction has been building custom homes across the Lake Oconee and Athens area for over a decade. They're a full design-build company, which means they handle architecture through final finishes under one roof. That streamlines the process and keeps quality consistent from the foundation to the trim work.

One thing that sets them apart is their fixed-cost pricing model. Before construction starts, you know exactly what the home will cost. No allowance overruns, no budget surprises halfway through framing. For buyers investing in lakefront or golf community real estate, that kind of certainty matters.

Their portfolio speaks for itself — high-end finishes, thoughtful floor plans, and homes that are designed to actually live in, not just photograph well. Every one of the four properties I'm about to walk you through reflects that standard.

Move-In Ready: 1040 Parrotts Cove in Reynolds Lake Oconee — $3,495,000

This one is almost done and ready for the lake season.

1040 Parrotts Cove sits inside Reynolds Lake Oconee and offers 6,324 square feet with 5 bedrooms, 5 full baths, and 2 half baths. The open-concept layout centers around a great room with a fireplace that flows into a gourmet kitchen with high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and an oversized island. From there, covered porches lead out to a private pool — the kind of indoor-outdoor flow that makes a Lake Oconee home feel like a Lake Oconee home.

The property includes lake access with a shared dock, so you're on the water without maintaining a private dock. A Golf Membership through Reynolds is also available, giving you access to championship courses, marinas, dining, fitness, and trails.

If you've been watching the new construction market on Lake Oconee, this is a rare opportunity to skip the build timeline entirely and move into something brand new.

Completing This Month: 207 Eagles Way in Cuscowilla — $2,195,000

207 Eagles Way is a custom timber-frame home inside the gated Cuscowilla at Lake Oconee community, and it's estimated to complete at the end of June.

Set on approximately 0.65 acres with panoramic water views, the home offers 5,218 square feet, 6 bedrooms, and 7 baths. The great room features coffered ceilings, a stone fireplace, built-ins, and French doors that open to covered porches overlooking the lake. The gourmet kitchen includes double ovens, a built-in wine cooler, custom cabinetry, and an oversized island. The main-level primary suite has a spa-style bath with dual vanities, a separate shower, and a generous walk-in closet.

The property comes with an assigned dock slip providing 24/7 lake access. And here's the part that makes this listing especially compelling — the builder is including a Cuscowilla golf membership with the purchase, valued at approximately $80,000. That's access to the Coore & Crenshaw-designed course, clubhouse, pools, tennis, fitness center, and all lake amenities.

For buyers who have been looking at Cuscowilla real estate, this is a new construction lakefront home with a membership included. That combination doesn't come along often.

Coming Soon: Two New Builds in Reynolds Lake Oconee

Right Angle isn't slowing down, and neither am I. Two more new construction homes are underway inside Reynolds Lake Oconee.

1000 Eastridge Loop — Richland Pointe We just poured the foundation on a terrace-level walkout in one of Reynolds' most desirable neighborhoods. Richland Pointe offers a quieter setting inside the gates with easy access to everything Reynolds has to offer. A terrace-level walkout is one of the most requested floor plans I see from buyers — the extra living space, the walk-out access to the yard, and the way it sits on the lot make it a layout people actively search for.

1545 Night Heron Drive — Lakefront This one is lakefront. We're currently prepping the lot for construction to begin, and the details on this build are going to be worth watching for. A new construction lakefront home inside Reynolds Lake Oconee is the kind of listing that generates calls before it ever hits the MLS.

Pricing and full details for both properties are coming soon. If you want to be the first to know — floor plans, pricing, and projected timelines — reach out now and I'll keep you in the loop ahead of the general market.

What This Means for Lake Oconee Buyers Right Now

New construction inventory on Lake Oconee has been limited, and quality new construction in gated communities like Reynolds and Cuscowilla is even harder to find. Having four properties by one trusted builder — ranging from move-in ready to early construction — gives buyers real options depending on their timeline.

If you're ready now, 1040 Parrotts Cove and 207 Eagles Way are available for private showings today. If you'd rather get in early on something being built from the ground up, the two Reynolds properties in development give you that opportunity.

Either way, I've seen Right Angle's work up close — in my clients' homes and in my own. I'm confident recommending them because I've lived the process.

Whether you're buying, selling, or just starting to explore new construction on Lake Oconee, I'd love to be a resource. Call or text me at (706) 431-0678 to schedule a private showing, or visit JenniferVaughan.com to see all available properties.
