(TMZ) - R&B superstar Ne-Yo spends a lot of time writing hits for other people... and now that's paying off, 'cause dude just dropped over $500k on a siiiiiick house in GA.

The singer/songwriter bought a sweet new 5,900 square foot pad in Milton, Georgia. The house boasts 6 bedrooms, 5 baths, a finished terrace and overlooks a golf course... which is awesome if you like golf.

Ne-Yo bought the house for a cool $550,000... but from the pics we're hoping he'll spend a few more song-writing bucks re-decorating.

Just sayin.
