Offered for the first time since 1955, this rare 45.4 acre property sits just 6.5 miles from downtown Athens with direct access via US 129. Located on Jefferson River Road in Jackson County, this tract offers a unique mix of privacy, natural beauty and development potential. Cubb Creek defines the southern boundary, providing a scenic water feature and opportunities for recreation or conservation. The topography is favorable for building with a mix of gently rolling terrain and mature hardwoods throughout. Ample road frontage and well proportioned lot dimensions give buyers flexibility, whether for a private estate, family compound or residential development. The site is conveniently located 3.4 miles from the Village at Oak Grove and just 17.4 miles from I-85, making it easily accessible while still feeling tucked away. This is one of the last large tracts of land this close to Athens with this level of potential. Call today to schedule a showing.
