Lots and Land in Mountain Lakes
Community Highlights
Mountain Lakes is a small mountain-lake enclave in Mountain Rest where homes and homesites wrap around Lake Becky, also marketed in listings as Mountain Rest Lake. The setting is defined by water, forest, and recreation rather than subdivision-scale amenities: some properties include private docks or lake rights, while interior lots still trade on quick access to paddling, fishing, and swimming.
The neighborhood's draw is its combination of waterfront opportunities and larger mountain lots. Recorded lot sizes run from about 15,681 square feet to 126,324 square feet, with average lot size just over an acre, giving the community a low-density feel that is uncommon in more tightly packed lake developments. Closed sales range from small interior parcels in the teens to a $395,000 waterfront home on a nearly flat peninsula lot with water on three sides, illustrating the wide spread between buildable lots and finished lake houses.
Homes in the MLS history are largely early-1980s builds, and the remarks point to a casual mountain-lake style rather than a uniform architectural program. Open living areas, expansive glass, decks, all-season porches, skylights, and split-bedroom layouts all appear, along with practical features like garages, unfinished lower levels, and workshop space. Waterfront addresses command the top prices, and the strongest remarks consistently center on views, docks, gentle shoreline access, and room to store outdoor gear.
Amenities & Lifestyle
Mountain Lakes functions more like a private recreation basecamp than a clubhouse community. Listing language highlights canoeing, kayaking, fishing, swimming, and trolling-motor boating, and one waterfront home notes lake rights for motor boating, skiing, and tubing. The surrounding setting adds another layer: Oconee State Park is about a mile away, Yellow Branch Falls and the Stumphouse mountain bike trailhead are about four miles away, and Chattooga River rafting access is about ten miles from the neighborhood.
