Experience the peace and freedom of true country living on 42 beautiful acres of rolling pasture and mature forest yet only ten minutes from Athens. This private barndominium apartment was originally designed as the owners' personal weekend retreat, and it shows in every detail. There's nothing "contractor grade" here only thoughtfully selected, high-end finishes, including a Viking range and a Bosch refrigerator, along with a stylish wet bar and built-in wine cooler that make entertaining effortless.
The interior is tastefully and cohesively furnished, with each room designed as part of a complete, upscale living space not a collection of leftover pieces. The decor and furniture were carefully chosen to complement one another, creating a warm, refined atmosphere that feels both comfortable and intentional. The layout is equally suited for hosting memorable evenings with friends or enjoying quiet, restorative solitude in complete comfort. In addition to the main living spaces, there are two additional rooms that can easily serve as bedrooms, along with a full bathroom ideal for guests, a home office, or extra private retreats.
Step outside and enjoy the rare luxury of having no immediate neighbors in sight. Take long, unhurried walks across open fields and through quiet woods and never pass another person. Listen to birdsong instead of traffic, watch the stars blaze across a dark sky, and experience the calm and privacy that only true country living can offer all while being just minutes from Athens.
Water is on a 400' foot deep well. Apartment has its own electric meter that will need to be put in renter's name upon move in. There is absolutely NO SMOKING inside the structure. Tenant will need to coordinate with landlord mowing inside the fence area, especially if there are pets. Tenants are welcome to have a garden.
