The majority of the tract is covered in hardwoods, creating a serene, wooded setting that offers both shade and a sense of seclusion. The cleared area provides an ideal location to begin building immediately while still enjoying the character and tranquility of the natural surroundings. This homesite strikes the perfect balance between usable space and a private, estate-like feel. Located just a short drive from the University of Georgia and Downtown Athens, the property also offers convenient access to Highways 129 and 441 and is less than 20 minutes from Interstate 85, making commuting and travel simple while maintaining a peaceful rural setting.
