An hour east of Atlanta amid the rolling green hills of Oconee National Forest, this exclusive new gated residential development combines an outstanding selection of lakeside and wooded homesites with a handsome community clubhouse, a full-service equestrian center, private aquatic facilities and other first-class recreational amenities.
Galingayle encompasses approximately 315 acres of gorgeous lakefront property with nearly two miles of shoreline on Lake Oconee, a dam-controlled stretch of the Oconee River that meanders through 20 miles of tranquil Georgia countryside. The lake is managed by Georgia Power to assure minimal fluctuation of the water level throughout the seasons – even in the absence of abundant rainfall.
With a choice of multi-acre equestrian estates, waterfront lots with private docks, and affordable cottage sites for sale, the Galingayle master plan offers ownership opportunities for a variety of buyers, plus more than 100 acres of community open space and miles of scenic hiking and bridle trails. The property overlooks the widest part of the lake and is only 15 minutes from historic downtown Madison, one of Georgia’s most charming and picturesque small towns.
