This is an incredible opportunity for a couple, family, or group of friends looking for a place to get away from it all without going far. Swim in a clear river, picnic on a huge sandbar, hike through the quiet woods, stargaze in the pitch black night sky, hunt for deer and turkey, or unwind in a cozy and comfortable cabin that provides a peaceful escape from the cares of modern life. Peyton Ferry Farm is a gorgeous 260 acre rural property just 35 minutes from downtown Athens and just under 2 hr from Atlanta. The property includes woodland, pasture, and more than 3/4 mile frontage on the Broad River. Peyton Ferry Farm is set up as condominium ownership with 6 units. Each unit consists of a 10 acre parcel for the owner's house and 1/6 undivided interest in the remaining 200 acres, which includes all the river frontage. There is a lovely shaded picnic area next to a large sandy beach that is a perfect for relaxing and swimming or an evening bonfire. Two owners of Peyton Ferry Farm are full time residents, while the other owners are occasional visitors. ------- Unit 2 of Peyton Ferry Farm is 10 acres of hardwood forest surrounding a small spring. A precious carpenter-built cabin is nestled in the trees on a slope, so the cabin feels like a tree house although the front porch is at ground level. The cabin is small and very well-built, with rough-sawn pine board and batten exterior siding, clear pine interior siding, and oak plank decking on the porch and balcony. The interior is a single 350 sq. ft. room that provides plenty of space in a simple footprint. A small woodstove provides warmth and a cozy atmosphere in the winter. Windows on all walls let in light and views of the surrounding forest. The oak and hickory canopy shades the cabin in the summer. A 200 sq. ft. covered front porch and a 50 sq. ft. rear balcony provide additional space and connect the indoors and outdoors. The current owners wanted a comfortable but rustic retreat from city life with no concerns about maintenance when they were away, so currently there is no electricity or running water. However, power extends to the lot and can be immediately hooked up, and water could be piped from a nearby well. There is a small outhouse next to the cabin. Peyton Ferry Farm is completely private, accessed by a winding dirt driveway off of Seymour Rd., a county-maintained dirt road.
