Traci Nelson - Realtor

I’m honored to share that I’ve been named one of Atlanta Magazine’s 2026 Real Estate All-Stars, based on 2025 sales volume.
While I’m grateful for the recognition, what means the most to me is what it represents for my clients: experience, dedication, and a commitment to helping people make confident real estate decisions.
Buying or selling a home is a big decision, and my goal is always to make the process feel a little less overwhelming and a lot more informed.
I’m especially thankful to the clients who have trusted me with such an important part of their lives. This recognition is really a reflection of that trust. ❤️
Thank you for allowing me to do what I love!

One of my favorite new stores around the lake: **The Crunchy Store.** 🌿

If you’re into clean living, natural products, holistic wellness—or you’re just trying to pay a little more attention to what’s actually in the stuff you use every day—this place is absolutely worth checking out.

They’ve got everything from refillable laundry detergent and clean shampoo and conditioner to teas, spices, magnesium products, natural soaps, herbs, skincare, homeopathic products and a whole lot more.

What I really like is that they’ve already done a lot of the homework for you. The products are carefully researched and vetted before they ever make it onto the shelves.

Such a cool little addition to the Lake Oconee area, and definitely one to add to your local shopping list. ❤️

Follow along for more of my favorite local spots around the lake!

Let’s play a game of **IN or OUT: Lake Edition.** 👀🌊

HOAs? Swimming pools? Big water views? Golf communities? Boat docks?

The lake view alone is worth the drive to Madison this Saturday.

Step into the living room of this 2022 Craftsman in Madison Lakes and a bowed window frames Lake Oconee right in front of you — the owner’s suite gets the same view. Out back, the yard runs level all the way to a private seawall with lake access, so you’re not just looking at the water, you’re steps from it.

Inside: 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 3,034 square feet, plus a full basement ready to finish. Gas fireplace with a log insert, a kitchen island, double ovens, a soaking tub and separate shower in the owner’s bath, vaulted ceilings, walk-in closets throughout.

Madison Lakes is gated, with a pool, tennis, playgrounds, and a clubhouse — and you’re 2 miles from I-20 and 5 from the Madison square.

Listed at $499,000.

Open House Saturday, 2–4pm. Come walk it with me.

Call or text me at 706-818-4168 with any questions before then.

A move-in-ready home under $300K near Lake Oconee doesn’t come along often — this one’s worth the trip to Eatonton Saturday.

Built in 2019 and single-story throughout, this craftsman on Misty Grove sits on a level, fully fenced lot with a covered back patio under a vaulted, custom-stained wood ceiling — the kind of spot you’ll actually use every evening.

Inside: 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 1,500 square feet, with the primary suite on the main level. Great room with a fireplace, kitchen with granite counters and stainless appliances, a separate dining room and breakfast area, vinyl plank flooring throughout, double vanity and walk-in closet in the primary bath.

You’re 3 miles from Sugar Creek Marina and 5 from the Publix at Lake Oconee Village — close enough to the lake life without the lake price tag. FHA, USDA, and VA financing all work here too.

Listed at $285,000.

Open House Saturday, 11am–1pm. Come see it for yourself.

Call or text me at 706-818-4168 with any questions.

Just Listed: 298 W River Bend Drive

This is the stretch of Lake Oconee everyone asks about.

South end, near the dam, deep water, direct access — and now it’s for sale.

298 W River Bend Drive just hit the market at $3,500,000, and it’s one of the most complete lake properties I’ve ever listed.

Walls of glass frame the water from nearly every room. Five bedrooms, six baths, 6,176 square feet, with the primary suite on the main level. The kitchen is built for a crowd — oversized island, coffee bar, wine bar. Downstairs there’s a full game room with a pool table, shuffleboard, darts, a wet bar and a popcorn machine, plus a bunk room that sleeps fourteen.

Outside is where this one really sets itself apart. Private dock with a boat lift, a salt water pool overlooking the lake, a volleyball court, and a doggie splash pad. It’s turnkey and fully furnished — the kind of home you close on and go straight to the dock.

Minutes from the Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee.

Call or text me at 706-818-4168 for a private showing.
