About this estate
Where Southern heritage meets lakefront possibility.
Introducing 257 Methodist Park Lane — a once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire a historic Lake Hartwell estate with coveted Georgia shoreline views. Set on 4.546 acres of flat, private land, this treasured family property — held since the 1800s — is now available for the first time in generations.
At its center stands a charming historic home, a 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence dating to 1873, gracefully blending period character with the promise of transformation. Surrounded by mature pecan trees and expansive lawns, the setting exudes serenity, offering a rare opportunity for refined lakeside living or future luxury development.
Designed for effortless outdoor entertaining, the property features a lakeside pavilion with two full bathrooms, perfect for hosting weekend guests or unforgettable gatherings. A covered porch, open-air deck, and spacious patio invite seamless indoor-outdoor living, while two sizable exterior storage areas offer functional support for an elevated lake lifestyle.
Just minutes from Elrod Ferry Landing and Methodist Park, this is one of the last remaining large-acreage lakefront parcels on Lake Hartwell's Georgia Corps of Engineers shoreline. Whether preserved as a private retreat or envisioned as a legacy estate, it presents a compelling fusion of history, setting, and potential.
