Reynolds Plantation - Reynolds Landing merge

Reynolds management announced yesterday that membership programs for Reynolds Plantation, Reynolds Great Waters, and Reynold Landing will be merged. Basically, this adds one new course for the Plantation owners and opens multiple memberships to Reynolds Landing owners. Reynolds Landing will also be renamed The Landing at Reynolds.
This change seems to me to benefit all three communities, and it significantly upgrades the status of Reynolds Landing (now The landing at Reynolds)...the developer has made significant upgrades to the infrastructure during the past 3 years and it is solidly included in the new Lake Oconee Academy school zone.

Searching for Lake Oconee lake property and golf property in Reynolds Plantation

Reynolds Plantation, Reynolds Landing, and Great Waters are gated golf communities developed by Reynolds/Linger Longer Communities. They are absolutely excellent properties...well-run, well-maintained, and offering a great selection for those who want to be in a gated community. BUT...

Many people searching for Lake Oconee properties begin their search by contacting Reynolds directly. Reynolds markets their corporate-owned properties around the U.S. and around the world very successfully. Reynolds properties tend to be, on average, priced 10% to 50% higher than comparable properties in other gated communities...Harbor Club, Cuscowilla, Del Webb, Waters Edge. Some seekers become discouraged by the prices in Reynolds, and don't realize that there is a whole world of property available in other gated communities, as well as "outside the gates", at a wide range of prices. The agents who work directly inside Reynolds DO NOT SELL, OR SHOW, properties outside Reynolds. Further, there may be a tendency to show recently released corporate lots/homes, then their own resale listings, then, as a last resort, those listed inside Reynolds by "outside the gates" agents.

Bottom line: You may be wise to establish contact with an "outside the gates" Realtor first, and gain exposure to the entire range of properties available at Lake oconee.
