Tucked away in Oglethorpe County's pastoral hills is an ethereal 2.89 acre private tract boasting quiet contentment and natural serenity that's truly hard to be. A unique find, centrally sited in an open meadow on the property is a massive southern estate looking for new owners to restore this statement home to its prime. Offering tons of potential, this expansive, 2-story home was originally constructed with immense living space all atop a sprawling 2664+/-sq.ft. unfinished basement providing a surplus of expandable room to grow. Throughout several rooms the renovations have already begun with the sheet rock installed and floors stripped. Several period piece light fixtures are still in place, offering that "turn of an era" charm. Additionally there are notable features such as multiple fireplaces, beamed and vaulted ceilings, and a grand layout that allows for alternate living configurations. This rare rehab opportunity hosts a spectacular location with immediate convenience to Maxey's Veterans Memorial Park and playground just around the corner, as well as the new Firefly Trail, and Athens is just 20 minutes away.Need even more incentive or motivation...The historic city of Maxey's was established by William B. Brightwell in 1874, and the town was incorporated thereafter in 1907. The legacy lives on with the Maxeys A.T. BRIGHTWELL SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. This unbelievably amazing scholarship provides "FULL, FREE COLLEGE TUITION to qualifying children of residents of specific environs of Maxeys whom have resided for a minimum of 2 qualifying years." More information available upon request. *Eligibility is subject to change. Whether you've been on the search for your next investment property for your portfolio, looking for a rehab project, your next primary residence to recreate your own vision, or just want to take advantage of the scholarship opportunity this diamond in the rough is ready to shine!
