The Peninsula Homes for Sale

Community Highlights

The Peninsula is a small gated waterfront enclave on the Georgia side of Lake Hartwell, positioned within Hartwell city limits at Sidney Point. Phase I is planned for 15 single-family homesites, and the neighborhood’s defining feature is direct boating access: listings consistently highlight private maximum-size dock permits, green-zone shoreline, and quick access to open water. With downtown Hartwell a little over a mile away, it delivers a lake setting without pushing daily errands far from reach.

Most recorded activity here has centered on lot sales rather than finished-home resales, which puts the emphasis squarely on the setting. Closed and off-market pricing runs from the mid-$300,000s into the upper-$500,000s, with a $365,000 median and stronger pricing attached to premium waterfront positioning. Most recorded homesites cluster around a half-acre footprint, while one much larger tract sale expands the top end of the lot-size range. The recurring theme is variety within a compact footprint: some lots lean toward a calmer stretch of shoreline, while others face more open views where boat traffic and watersports are part of the daily backdrop.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Life at The Peninsula is organized around the lake rather than a clubhouse package. The shoreline is the amenity, and the MLS record repeatedly points to private dock rights, green-zone frontage, and a short ride across the cove to the marina and out to the main basin. A recent offering adds more texture, describing a gentle walk to the water, sandy shoreline, broad frontage, and a double-slip dock already in place. Covenants referenced in that listing call for a 3,000-square-foot minimum home, reinforcing an upscale, low-density buildout.
