White Oak Landing Celebrates First Residents


Published: 02.27.2020

New Lake Neighborhood Takes Shape

Two years ago, White Oak Landing was a dream; last year, the developers were paving the phase-one road system for twenty-four waterfront homesites. This year, they are finishing construction for lake homes #2, #3 and #4. (House #1 was completed in mid-summer of last year.)

Three of the first four homes are for our first residents, while the fourth is being built so one lucky prospective owner can be on the lake in time for this summer. Also, the contractors are starting homes #5 and #6 which are being built to show off our newest designs this summer.

White Oak Landing

Shoppers for new homes on Lake Martin find their options fall into three categories. The first category is a collection of homes in excess of $1,000,000 in master-planned communities with large private lots, protective covenants and access to key amenities. While the homes are well-built, prices are above many prospective buyers’ budgets.

The second category consists of houses that are built on scattered lots around the lake. These homes are built on “left over” lots in older areas, and surrounding properties are not always built to the same quality standards. Covenants in these areas, if any, are loosely enforced. Therefore, neighboring properties limit the new home’s potential appreciation.

The third category of new homes tends to be in new neighborhoods where the developer creates small lots and places the homes close together to get a greater return on land. This density coupled with mass production allows the builder to provide a lower overall ticket price while sacrificing customization, privacy, waterfront features and value.

The White Oak Advantage

When creating White Oak Landing, the development team of Stan Graves, David Nelson and Scott Lett, along with Russell Lands, worked to find a solution to the shortcomings of the new lake home offerings noted above. With a shortage of larger affordable lots, the best option was to create a new neighborhood. The goal was to offer affordability without sacrificing quality.

White Oak Landing offers a custom, quality-built home on a waterfront lot with “elbow room” that has quick access to shopping, restaurants, medical care, golf and a full-service marina. Located just off US Highway 280, White Oak Landing homes are built to stringent building codes and fall within city fire and police protection.

Like the most valuable communities on Lake Martin, White Oak Landing has protective covenants and architectural review to ensure conformity and to protect values. What we are most excited about is that we have been able to accomplish all of this in a neighborhood planned for brand new waterfront homes with custom quality where prices range from $575,000 to $795,000.

What is even better is that you can have it built your way. The White Oak Landing construction team is willing and capable of customizing homes found in our expansive home portfolio with top-quality features.
