Autograph Collection Hotels Unveils The Len Resort & Residences
The Len Resort & Residences, in collaboration with Anchors Marina, celebrated a groundbreaking ceremony and pre-sales launch, marking a significant milestone in the $155 million project. This development is set to redefine luxury in the heart of Georgia Lake Country, an area renowned for its casual elegance, natural beauty, and small-town charm. Held at 149 Collis Road, Putnam County, the event drew local dignitaries, community members, and stakeholders, all eager to witness the transformation of 25 acres overlooking Lake Oconee into a luxurious retreat.
The Len Resort & Residences, a proud addition to the Autograph Collection Hotels by Marriott Bonvoy, aims to embody the unique spirit of Lake Oconee with its country club casual elegance and modern twist on Southern hospitality. The resort will feature a lakefront 141-room hotel and 49 exclusive branded residences in its first phase, spanning 25 acres and overlooking Lake Oconee’s serene 1,400-foot shoreline. The $155 million investment promises to create a sanctuary where past and present meet, offering guests and residents a chance to reflect, rejuvenate, and reconnect with loved ones amidst the natural beauty of Georgia Lake Country.
“Our partnership with Autograph Collection Hotels allows us to bring a one-of-a-kind property to the residents and visitors of Lake Oconee, featuring all the best of lake life—from delicious food and wine to first-class Southern hospitality,” said Lauren and Josh Sprayberry of King Sprayberry, LLC. “Set against the stunning backdrop of the lake's incredible views and breathtaking sunsets, this project will truly embody the unique spirit of the area, offering activities like boating and more.”

Lauren Sprayberry, co-owner of King Sprayberry, LLC., emphasized the essence of their design philosophy: "By meticulously planning spaces to ensure every view is breathtaking and crafting interiors that reflect the colors, textures, and energy of the lake, we strive to create a seamless harmony with the Georgian landscape and Southern ambiance."
The Len Residences are designed to offer both comfort and elegance, featuring approximately 1,500 square-foot single-level condo units and approximately 1,500 to 1,800 square-foot two-story townhomes all with gourmet kitchens and full-size living areas. Owners will have access to all resort amenities and exceptional hospitality services including concierge golf-cart shuttle services to the marina, in-room dining, housekeeping, and more. Additionally, owners have the option to include their units in the rental program, earning Marriott Bonvoy points.
The project is spearheaded by local land and business developers Lauren and Josh Sprayberry of King Sprayberry, LLC., alongside AMS Hospitality, LLC, which is providing construction management services. Remington Hospitality of Dallas, Texas, will operate the resort. Atlanta-based Rabun Architects, known for designing the St. Regis in Buckhead and the Four Seasons in Midtown, is the architect for this ambitious project. Dreambuilt will construct the luxury residences, Choate Construction handled the preconstruction phase, and Brasfield & Gorrie will oversee the resort's build to completion.
