Description
Among the rarest offerings in the Southeast, this extraordinary Lake Oconee estate spans nearly 200 acres of rolling pastures, forest, and more than 3,500 feet of pristine shoreline that combines 1000+ feet of lake frontage and 2000+ feet of serene tributary frontage. The property offers remarkable beauty, privacy, and a profound connection to nature. Known as Soldiers Crossing, the estate is steeped in history, reflecting its connection to an 1864 Civil War skirmish and featuring two historic structures dating to the pre-Civil War and turn-of-the-century eras. Designed by Harrison Design, the Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired residence rises organically from the landscape, blending locally sourced stone, warm woods, and walls of glass that seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor living. Expansive entertaining spaces flow effortlessly to tranquil patios, gardens, and a stunning indoor solarium overlooking the grounds. The chef’s kitchen features premium appliances and custom finishes, while the dramatic great room is anchored by floor-to-ceiling windows framing views of the gardens and koi pond. The main-level primary suite serves as a private retreat with a spa-inspired bath, custom closet, and direct access to outdoor living spaces. Upstairs offers additional bedrooms and open-concept gathering spaces, while the terrace level rivals a luxury resort with a private wellness retreat featuring a swim spa, sauna, steam shower, recreation lounge, billiards area, wine cellar, and retractable private theater. The grounds are equally captivating, with formal rose gardens, raised beds, winding trails and abundant wildlife. Indeed, this is more than a home—it is a legacy estate of extraordinary craftsmanship, serenity, and timeless design.
