Motivated sellers have a new project and have adjusted the price for a quick sale! A comprehensive inspection report shows the property, including stucco to be in great condition, and all minor issues are being addressed. Newly renovated and re-envisioned, this beautiful country estate now has a Classic Euro-inspired exterior and sophisticated contemporary interior. Luxurious, secluded, and tranquil, the home is as uniquely original as it is completely compelling. The 4700 sqft custom home was built in the late 90s and sits on 7.4 acres in the beautiful rolling countryside of southeast Athens Clarke County bordering Oconee to the south and just West of Oglethorpe. Down the picturesque circular drive, the house, hidden from the road in its own park-like setting exudes exclusivity all while being playful and approachable. The original owners were generous in their landscaping with now mature varieties of Japanese maples, pines, magnolias, crepe myrtles, river birch, and many more. The entrance facade greets you with a burst of color: Spanish tile, lavender shutters, and dark teal trim against the warm ochre of stucco. Walk through the oversized wooden French doors into a two-story foyer that affords views of the home's open light-filled living spaces. The lofted living room has a large wood-burning fireplace with a mantle created from antique hand-carved limestone architectural figures with their own IMDB! A bank of glass doors overlooks a deck and the forest beyond. The dining room is open to an equal size sitting room that allows the ability to expand the dining area for those special occasions. The world-class kitchen features a 48" Sub Zero, duel Bertazzoni convection ovens with steam and pizza settings, super premium Gaggenau induction cooktop, Asko dish washer, under-counter wine chiller, encaustic counters, and a walk-in pantry. The kitchen expands into an informal dining area that has a panoramic view of the estate's wooded acres and is open to the living room. The home has five spacious bedrooms over three floors all with en suite baths and generous walk-in closets. The owner's suite on the main floor has an LP fireplace, access to the deck, a generous dressing room, and a spacious bath w/ jacuzzi tub and large shower. The main and upper floor rooms are all laid with 9.5-inch wide plank European oak with a contemporary matte finish. All baths and the main floor hall are in ceramic. The light-filled lower level is a house on its own with its large guest suite, beautiful family room with electric fireplace, kitchenette, bonus room, and an Instagram-worthy playroom complete with a whimsical built-in two-story playhouse. Waterproof, wide plank LPV with ceramic in the bath completes the flooring on the lower level. Storage is abundant in multiple attic areas as well as an unfinished portion of the lower level, which could work as a workshop as it has its own exterior entrance. The all-concrete section under the front veranda would make a great wine cellar, safe room, or walk-in safe. A six-foot-high fence protects a half acre at the rear of the home making it perfect for pets. The attached two-car garage is set up for 40 amp level 2 EV charging. The house has three zoned HVAC systems, one new, and two complete septic systems all pumped and inspected. It has its own well that has recently been tested. There is high-speed fiber internet on the road and city water available at the road if desired. A new roof was installed last November and has a transferable warranty. The property has many opportunities to embellish: solar, pools, gardens, and barns would be easy to place. Its AG zoning allows many uses including BnB with approval. Less than 10 miles to downtown Athens, 7 miles to Watkinsville or shopping at College Station, and less to Athens Montessori or Wire Park, make this location both idyllic and convenient. Don't miss seeing this very special one-of-a-kind property!
