Welcome to your own private retreat! Nestled on approximately 15 acres of peaceful, wooded property, this custom-built four-sided brick home offers the perfect combination of space, privacy, convenience, and flexibility for a large family, multigenerational living, or those looking for room to enjoy a small farm. From the moment you arrive, the quality and craftsmanship are evident. The home features 8-inch crown molding throughout much of the main level, adding an elegant touch to the spacious interior. The main level offers four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a dedicated office, providing plenty of room for everyday living and entertaining. The fully finished lower level expands the possibilities even further. Complete with a full kitchen, full bathroom, private master suite, and two additional rooms that could serve as bedrooms, offices, hobby rooms, or guest spaces, the lower level offers an ideal setup for extended family, in-laws, college students, or a separate living arrangement. With two private entrances, this space provides both privacy and convenience. There are two laundry areas, with one currently being used as a craft room, giving the next owner plenty of flexibility to customize the space to fit their needs. Storage is abundant throughout the home, and there is ample parking for a large family and guests. The home is serviced by a well and features a whole-home water filtration system. Outside, mature trees surround the property, creating a peaceful setting where wildlife can be enjoyed throughout the seasons. A large deck provides the perfect place to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the natural beauty and privacy of your surroundings. For those dreaming of a little farm life, the property includes a barn and an additional building for farm equipment, providing excellent space for equipment, hobbies, storage, or animals, subject to applicable regulations. And while the setting feels wonderfully private, you're still conveniently located within approximately 20 minutes of the University of Georgia in Athens, and approximately 30 minutes of the University of North Georgia, Lanier Technical College Gainesville Campus, Athens Regional, Piedmont, and Northeast Georgia Medical Center. If you're looking for space, privacy, mature trees, room for family, farm potential, and a peaceful setting surrounded by nature, this exceptional Jefferson property may be the one you've been waiting for.
