Rare opportunity to own a private country retreat on nearly 2 acres in award-winning Oconee County-just minutes from UGA, downtown Athens, shopping, dining, and healthcare. Properties like this are becoming increasingly hard to find. This four-sided brick home offers the perfect blend of space, privacy, and versatility. Step outside to your own backyard oasis featuring a saltwater pool, fully stocked pond, and a stunning 32' x 15' custom A-frame screened porch designed for year-round enjoyment. Major updates include a new roof (2020) and two new HVAC (2024, 2025) systems for peace of mind. What truly sets this property apart is the fully independent terrace-level living space-essentially two homes in one. The basement apartment features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a private driveway, separate entrance, private courtyard, dedicated study area, laundry space, and exercise room. Ideal for multi-generational living, an in-law suite, or guest accommodations. Whether you're looking for room to spread out, or space for extended family, this one-of-a-kind estate offers a lifestyle that simply can't be replicated in today's new construction communities.
