Located just 10 minutes from downtown Athens, the 60 acre farm boasts of 35-40 acres of planted pine and a mature hardwood forest (white oak, red oak, poplar, hickory, more) with trails maintained throughout. The five bedroom and 2.5 bathroom residence is situated on approximately 4 acres and includes black walnut, pecan, and fruit trees as well as berries and figs. The circle driveway provides two, covered parking spaces in front of the large metal barn/workshop that has a small porch off to the side. This building has one room in front, one room in back, and has a half bathroom stubbed for a shower between the other two rooms. Along with the residence and large metal barn/workshop, the property includes two enclosed sheds, a pole barn, and a fenced-in, raised-bed vegetable garden. About a five minute walk from the house is a trail to a small silt pond that spills into 1.5 acre spring-fed pond. This spot features a wide meadow and connects to trails leading to East Sandy Creek (southern boarder) and others meandering throughout the property. Wildlife include fish, white tail deer, seasonal Canada geese, beavers, large turtles, and rabbits. The house has been fully renovated with a casual, rustic feel. Enter the main floor from a quaint, covered porch into a spacious living room, followed by two bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, den, laundry closet, overflow pantry storage closet, and a kitchen. The kitchen door leads to a covered deck that opens into a large fenced in area, designed to secure a dog. Because the house is situated on a hilltop, the deck is mosquito free all year. The den features a covered porch which creates a courtyard effect between the deck and the porch. On the main level, hardwood floors flow throughout, except for the bonus room which is laminated wood and bathrooms which are tiled. The fully-finished basement has tile flooring throughout (except the mechanical room). There are three bedrooms (one windowless), a full bathroom, a large walk-in closet, and a mechanical room which offers abundant storage. The wide hallway enjoys natural light with a basement door leading to a 16'x36' fenced in area for a dog. The home has an alternate fuel source, a whole house generator, that automatically switches on during a power outage.
