Lake Oconee Showcase of Homes returns

Published 4:54 pm Thursday, May 1, 2025

The much-anticipated Lake Oconee Showcase of Homes is proud to announce its return on Saturday, Oct. 25.

This cherished community event will feature an exclusive tour of six beautifully designed homes within the prestigious Reynolds Lake Oconee community and an extensive online auction running from Oct. 20 through Oct. 26.

More than just an architectural and design tour, the Showcase of Homes is a powerful movement that directly supports Greene County Habitat for Humanity’s mission: providing safe, affordable housing for families in Greene County, Georgia. Every ticket, sponsorship, donation and auction bid contribute to a legacy of transformation — since 2018, the funds raised have helped build 16 new homes and rehabilitate eight, creating stable and safe foundations for families in need. This year, the goal is to raise critical funds to build additional homes in 2026, ensuring that even more families have a secure place to call home.

Event Highlights:

Date & Time: In-Person Tour: Saturday, October 25, 2025

Online Auction: October 20 – October 26, 2025

Ticket Information: Tickets go on sale August 29, 2025, at $100 each—an investment in a brighter, more secure future for our community.

Featured Residences: Six stunning homes within Reynolds Lake Oconee will open their doors, showcasing premium local architecture and innovative design that embody both elegance and ingenuity.

This year’s event is led by dedicated co-chairs Jane Sowell and Kara Marren. Both have a long history of contributing to previous Showcase of Homes committees, and their deep passion for this cause infuses the event with heartfelt purpose and meticulous planning.

The Showcase of Homes is more than an event — it’s a lifeline for families who dream of a secure home and a better tomorrow. Every contribution creates ripples of hope that touch our entire community,” said Sowell.

Co-chair Kara Marren added, “Our event transforms architecture into opportunity, turning beautifully designed homes into symbols of second chances and new beginnings.”

The Lake Oconee Showcase of Homes is a testament to the power of community. It is a day when local elegance meets heartfelt purpose, uniting residents, sponsors, and families under a shared mission of building dreams — one home at a time.
