About this home
Over 5 unrestricted acres, a flowing stream, and multiple building possibilities--all just minutes from Athens and I-75! This versatile property offers a beautiful mixture of open pasture and mature woods, with portions already fenced for horses or cattle. Large shade trees, peaceful country surroundings, and scenic long-range views create the perfect setting for a mini-farm, private homestead, or future homesite. The existing farmhouse needs extensive renovation but could be restored by someone with the right vision. Prefer to start fresh? Tear it down and build your dream home, place a doublewide or single-wide, or explore the property's several potential building sites. With no restrictions, you have the freedom to create a property that fits your needs. A detached two-car garage/workshop provides valuable space for vehicles, equipment, storage, or hobbies. The home is currently supplied with water from a natural spring, and a stream winds through the property, adding to its peaceful rural character. Part of the acreage lies across the road, offering additional privacy and the potential for another building site--ideal for a second residence, family member, rental property, or future investment. Whether you envision a small farm, multi-generational retreat, manufactured home, new construction, or income-producing property, the possibilities here are exceptional. Enjoy country living without giving up convenience--located only minutes from Athens, shopping, restaurants, schools, medical services, and easy access to I-75. Bring your plans, your animals, and your imagination, and turn this unique East Tennessee property into something truly special!
