About this home

A Complete Restoration, Done Right! The savvy buyer already knows: the real value in this market sits just outside the Oconee County line, in Athens-Clarke County, where the drive times and the tax bill both work in your favor without giving up an inch of the countryside feel. Wide-open farmland views, genuine quiet, and total privacy on a full 1.2 acres yet you're only about a 12-15 minute drive to UGA's main campus, and just as close to Watkinsville's shops and restaurants, without paying Watkinsville prices. Every inch of this home has been rebuilt by craftsmen who clearly took pride in the details: real hardwood floors throughout, handcrafted tile work in all three full bathrooms, custom cabinetry, & quartz counters in a kitchen quality built. Two fireplaces: one inside, one on the porch. Indoor-outdoor living was clearly part of the plan here. Off the living room, a bright sun room does double duty as the laundry room, and leads out to a large screened-in porch to take in the farmland views. A door off the porch opens to the new back deck, giving you three distinct ways to enjoy the outdoors without ever leaving home. Downstairs, there's over 1,500 square feet of air-conditioned basement space - new windows let in plenty of natural light, making it a legitimate option for storage, a workshop, or whatever extra space you've been wishing for. Over $20,000 was invested in a waterproofing system, so it stays dry and usable year-round. The systems back it up: new roof, all-new plumbing, an updated electrical panel with 95% of the home rewired, new HVAC, new windows, doors, and lighting throughout. Nothing was skipped, and nothing was patched over. Out back, a full barn is included - workshop, studio, storage, etc. Properties with this combination - real acreage, a genuine top-to-bottom restoration, and an unbeatable Athens-Clarke County location minutes from UGA and Watkinsville don't come around often. Come see the difference real craftsmanship makes.
