2189 Oconee Drive: A Furnished Lake Sinclair Retreat with Its Own Double Boathouse

What does a move-in-ready waterfront home look like on Lake Sinclair? At 2189 Oconee Drive in Sparta, it looks like a fully furnished, 2,300-square-foot home with a seawall, a double boathouse with a max dock, and sunset views off the back porch — listed at $850,000.

I get a lot of buyers who want lake life without the wait — no renovation punch list, no furniture shopping, no guessing whether the dock situation will actually work for their boat. This home solves all three. Built in 2007 by Tangleridge Builders and cared for since, it's the kind of property I can hand someone the keys to and they're on the water that weekend.

Here's what you should know before you tour it.

Where It Sits on Lake Sinclair

2189 Oconee Drive sits on Lake Sinclair in Sparta, with a seawall lot and a fully covered back porch positioned for lakeside sunsets. The standout feature for boaters is the double boathouse with a max dock — real, usable dock capacity rather than a single slip you're sharing with a second boat.

If you're new to buying on Lake Sinclair, it's worth understanding how the lake is managed before you commit. Georgia Power controls water levels and periodic drawdowns on both Lake Sinclair and Lake Oconee — you can review current levels on Georgia Power's water levels page, and their lakes FAQs and resources page covers dock and shoreline questions I hear often from first-time lake buyers.

A Layout Built for Main-Level Living

This is a 3-bedroom, 4-bath home (3 full, 1 half) where all three bedrooms are en-suite — a detail that matters when you're hosting guests who each want their own space and bathroom. The primary suite and a second en-suite bedroom are both on the main level, with a third guest suite upstairs for privacy.

Inside, you'll find:

Ten-foot ceilings on the main level
Five-inch oak hardwood floors throughout
Custom cabinetry
A stacked stone fireplace
Walk-in closets and tile baths with separate showers

Built to Last, Not Just to Look Good

All three structures on the property — the home, the boathouse, and the carport — received new 45-year architectural shingle roofs in 2023. The property also has an oversized carport with a concrete floor, a sprinkler system, and Bermuda sod, so the exterior maintenance is already handled.

Furnished and Ready

Like a lot of my lake listings, this one comes completely furnished. You're not starting from an empty house — you're starting from a lake house.

On Lake Sinclair, dock type and shoreline condition move the needle on value just as much as square footage. A max double boathouse on a seawall lot like this one is exactly what I point buyers toward when boat storage and lake access are non-negotiable.

Why Lake Sinclair Keeps Pulling Buyers from Milledgeville and Beyond

Lake Sinclair sits closer to Milledgeville than Lake Oconee does, which draws a mix of full-time residents and weekenders looking for a lower entry point than Oconee's luxury waterfront without giving up dock access or lake views. A furnished, move-in-ready home with a double boathouse in this price range doesn't sit on the market long.
