There are properties that impress you. And then there are properties that make you exhale.
Set behind a gated, tree-lined drive on eight private acres -- Oconee County taxes, Athens address -- this is the kind of estate that almost doesn't exist anymore. No HOA. No neighbors in your sightline. No compromise. And just 75 minutes from Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
Athens is not your average college town. It's a nationally recognized food and arts destination, home to the University of Georgia, and consistently ranked among the South's most livable cities. Oconee County delivers top-rated schools, low taxes, and a pace of life that reminds you why you wanted to leave the city in the first place.
The 2022 Georgian estate spans nearly 9,000 square feet across three finished levels, designed for the way people actually live -- and entertain. The main level opens to a chef's kitchen with quartzite counters, custom cabinetry, a wine tower, pecky cypress beams, and a hidden walk-in pantry that will stop every guest in their tracks. A screened porch extends the living space outdoors, overlooking a resort pool and spa framed by mature trees and absolute privacy.
The primary suite and a full guest suite anchor the main level. Upstairs, a media room and three additional bedrooms. The terrace level offers a complete living area, bedroom, bath, and direct pool access -- ideal for guests, in-laws, or a long weekend that turns into a week.
And then there's the indoor basketball court -- because why not.
Three-car garage. Eight acres with no one telling you what to do with them. A home that trades big-city noise for something rarer: space, beauty, and genuine peace of mind.
This is not a house you settle for. It's one you wait for.
