    What's special

    Surrounded by treesPrivate lakeQuiet surroundings
    Tucked deep into the woods yet located just minutes from Ohio University and uptown Athens, 8700 Rock Riffle Road offers a rare combination of privacy and convenience. This is the historic Harmon Home (of Harmony Road and Bong Hill fame), which was built in the 1950s and has the feel of a rangers home found in a National Park. Set back from the road and surrounded by trees, the property feels secluded and peaceful the kind of setting where you can truly disconnect while still being less than five minutes from campus, shopping, restaurants, and everyday essentials. And you have your own private lake (okay, may be more a pond but it is big). The drive in immediately shifts the atmosphere from city to your own countryside retreat without sacrificing accessibility. A 1 car garage and full basement provide plenty of area for storage, a workshop, or what other uses your imagination conjures. 8700 Rock Riffle Road Athens: A wooded retreat just minutes from campus offering privacy, quiet surroundings, and quick access to everything Athens has to offer. 1 year lease minimum
