What's for sale at 1090 Crooked Creek Road on Lake Sinclair?
A 2020-built, 4-bedroom, 3-bath coastal-style lake house on 1.21 acres in Eatonton, GA, with a double Trex dock in deep water and a saltwater pool. It's listed at $1,395,000.
Most lake buyers I work with come to me with the same wish list. They want deep water, a dock they don't have to rebuild, a house they don't have to renovate, and enough land that the neighbors don't feel like roommates. It's rare to check every one of those boxes on Lake Sinclair, and that's why 1090 Crooked Creek Road is worth a closer look.
The home was built in 2020, and you can tell it was built with intention. It has hardwood floors, refined finishes, smart home technology, and a layout made for the way people actually live at the lake: outside, around the water, with friends and family coming and going all weekend.
Here's a walk through what makes it special, plus what a Lake Sinclair buyer should know before making a move.

Life on the Water: The Dock, the Seawall, and the View
On the lake, the waterfront is the house. Everything else comes second.
A double Trex dock in deep water
The double Trex boat dock sits in deep water. That's one of the biggest value drivers on either lake, because deep water means less worry about where you can tie up and how you get in and out. Trex composite decking also holds up to Georgia summers far better than wood, so there's less to maintain.
The dock is set up for real use, not just boat storage:
- An outdoor refrigerator, so drinks are right where you want them
- A TV for game days on the water
- A dedicated sitting deck for morning coffee or sunset watching
A seawall and an easy walk to the water
The shoreline is protected by a seawall, and the walk down to the shoreline and boathouse is an easy stroll. That matters more than buyers expect. A steep lot can make even a beautiful lake house tiring to live in, especially with kids, guests, or grandparents who want to get to the dock without a hike.
Elevated, panoramic views
The home sits up high enough to take in panoramic views of Lake Sinclair. You get the big-water look from inside the house and from the porch, not just from the dock.
Inside: Built in 2020, Finished With Care
Many lake homes on the market are older cabins that need updates. This one is just a few years old, and it shows.
- Primary suite on the main level with tray ceilings, a double vanity, a separate shower, and a walk-in closet
- Hardwood and tile floors throughout the main living areas
- High ceilings that keep the space bright and open
- Gas log fireplace for cooler lake evenings
- Wet bar, which is exactly what you want in a house built for hosting
- Kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a cooktop, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator
- Smart home technology so you can check on the house from Atlanta, Florida, or wherever home base is
- Four bedrooms and three full baths, so there's room for family and weekend guests
For second-home owners, that last point about smart home tech is a big one. Being able to adjust the thermostat, check security, and see what's going on while you're away makes owning a lake house a lot easier.
Outside: Porch, Pool, and 1.21 Acres
This is where the house really earns its place on your list.
A wraparound Trex porch with a dining area
The wraparound porch is finished in low-maintenance Trex and includes a dedicated dining area. Picture long dinners outside with the lake in front of you and nobody rushing to leave.
A private saltwater pool
A lakefront home with its own pool is a real luxury. The in-ground saltwater pool is surrounded by travertine pavers, which stay cooler underfoot in the summer. It gives you a second way to enjoy the water on days the lake is busy, and it's a big draw for kids and guests.
Room around you
The home sits on 1.21 acres, an open lot with a sprinkler system. That's a generous amount of land for a waterfront property, and it gives the house privacy and breathing room that many lake lots simply don't have.
Peace of Mind: The Practical Details
The features that don't show up in photos are often the ones that save you money and headaches later.
- Roof: composition and metal
- Heating and cooling: central heat pump with central electric air
- Utilities: underground utilities, propane, and public water
- Sewer: septic tank
- Security: security system and smoke detectors
- Parking: attached two-car garage
The underground utilities keep the views clean, and public water is a plus that many lake buyers ask about early.
Where You'll Be: Eatonton and Putnam County, Between Two Lakes
1090 Crooked Creek Road sits in Eatonton, in Putnam County, right between the shopping and dining of Lake Sinclair and Lake Oconee. That's the best of both lakes. You can enjoy Lake Sinclair's laid-back, local feel at home and still be a short drive from the restaurants, golf, and shopping around Lake Oconee.
Lake Sinclair covers more than 15,000 acres with roughly 417 miles of shoreline, so there's plenty of open water to explore. For buyers coming from metro Atlanta, Putnam County is close enough for an easy weekend drive and far enough away to feel like a real getaway.
What Lake Sinclair Buyers Should Know
This listing's frontage is described as utility company controlled. On Lake Sinclair, that means the shoreline is managed by Georgia Power under its federal license, and any new shoreline work typically requires a permit.
Before you plan changes to a dock, seawall, or shoreline, review Georgia Power's shoreline management guidelines and connect with the Lake Sinclair land management office for Putnam County. I'm happy to walk you through what to ask and help you verify the details for this specific property.
