SOUTHER N LIVING Inspired Home Tour
We are a Southern Living Inspired Community Harbor Club on Lake Oconee is proud to be one of the few chosen by Southern Living as a “Southern Living Inspired Community.” To be added to this prestigious list, there were several “Southern Living Community Philosophies” that Harbor Club had to meet. These include: - Embracing the natural beauty of southern landscapes. - Displaying the best of Southern Living-inspired homes. - Creating optimal environments that foster friendly gatherings, interactions, and celebrations. It’s easy to see how Harbor Club made the list. Nestled in Georgia’s Lake Country, just an hour east of Atlanta, is our charming southern town of Greensboro. It is a place rich in history, culture and countless activities. Combine our location with all that Harbor Club has to offer, and you’ll experience a “staycation” every day. Enjoy all that the outdoors has to offer with four distinct seasons where favorite southern flowers and iconic trees such as azaleas, crepe myrtles, fragrant gardenias, and magnolias thrive. Our highly experienced custom home builder, Patriot Builders, is exclusive to Harbor Club. Their care and attention to detail ensures that every new Harbor Club home has unparalleled quality, craftsmanship and style. In addition, our highly acclaimed architects and designers make our Southern Living-inspired homes a reality for new residents. We ensure each new homeowner experiences what it feels like to truly have “pride in place.” And, of course, there is that good old southern hospitality ...of which we have plenty. Between our recreational amenities and a jam-packed calendar of events, Harbor Club provides multiple opportunities for friends and neighbors to enjoy gathering, interacting and celebrating together. We pride ourselves on having a charming, resort-like neighborhood with over 80% full-time, friendly residents.

MEE T THE DE VELOPER There were only 60 homes built at Harbor Club in 1992 when John Matney and business partner Clyde Stacy saw the opportunity to purchase the community. Since then, Harbor Club has grown to almost 500 homes. In 2005, John and his sons, Brandon and Justin, bought Stacy’s interest in the property. Involved in every aspect of the community, Brandon has been at the helm as General Manager since 2012. Hands-on doesn’t begin to describe Brandon’s approach to his position. The Matney’s have driven a long-term plan for the property and executed capital improvements that included the purchase of 600 additional acres for future development, acquiring and renovating The Boathouse Restaurant, and revamping the golf course which is listed as Golfweek’s #3 “Best Courses You Can Play in Georgia.” Their stewardship and careful planning have seen Harbor Club weather the ups and downs of the real estate market, and have poised the community for a very bright future.
“I had an opportunity to speak with recent buyers and asked them what made them decide to invest here in Harbor Club. They said they toured Harbor Club as well as other communities. They liked them all. But the one thing that tipped the scale? Harbor Club folks waved to them.�
-John Crouse, Harbor Club Property Owners Association President
