A rare opportunity to own a private retreat on 12.61 acres in Athens, GA, just minutes from the University of Georgia, Downtown Athens, and all the shopping and dining the Classic City has to offer. 1805 Morton Rd blends craftsmanship with peaceful, wooded surroundings-offering the feel of a secluded estate while remaining close to everyday conveniences. This 4BR/2.5BA custom Craftsman home is filled with warmth and character, featuring knotty pine floors, exposed timber framing, vaulted ceilings, and abundant natural light.
