Welcome to 837 Bartram Trace Road - also known as the James C. Daniel House and Kettle Creek Manor - a rare and storied Southern estate where history, land, and timeless craftsmanship converge across 50.2 breathtaking acres. This circa-1810 all-brick home, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, showcases distinctive Federal-style architecture that stands out in the region.
Conveniently located near Athens, Augusta, Lake Oconee, and the quaint cities of Madison and Washington.
Situated on a peaceful, low-traffic country lane, the distinguished brick residence sits right along Bartram Trace Road, so its historic presence and classic facade are easy to appreciate as you arrive. Behind the home, the property opens up into beautifully manicured grounds with mature hardwoods and flowering trees that lead into versatile wooded land and stream access.
Inside the main house, classic proportions, original architectural details, and high-quality craftsmanship create an enduring elegance. Recent updates enhance everyday comfort, highlighted by a sparkling in-ground saltwater pool and a fully renovated guesthouse - offering a myriad of options for guests, extended stays, or generating rental income, including during the Masters Tournament.
This distinguished estate offers the perfect balance of historic Federal-style character, modern amenities, and expansive privacy on a grand scale. Whether you're seeking a full-time private retreat, a weekend escape, or a legacy property with recreational and income potential, 837 Bartram Trace Road provides unmatched heritage and setting nestled in the heart of Georgia's countryside. Properties offering this combination of architectural significance, acreage, location, and income generating capabilities are increasingly scarce.
