Are you searching for quiet solitude and country charm? Welcome home to this adorable one level cottage with private guest house on 2 acres of land just outside of downtown Lexington where you can enjoy antiquing on weekends. An easy quick drive will get you to Athens or Elberton (Lake Russell and Clarks Hill Lake). The main home is nestled back from the road and you will love the covered rocking porch, a perfect spot to wind down in the evenings. The split bedroom floor plan is great for families and anyone can appreciate the Sun room filled with natural light. Several storage structures on site for tools/workshops. The property also features a unique underground storm shelter, great for a wine/root/canning cellar. Horses/Animals allowed. Metal Roof.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.

Agricultural/Rural Residential District
The Agricultural/Rural Residential District shall be composed chiefly of rural and agricultural, areas where low- density, rural single-family residential development has occurred or is occurring. This district shall also include those areas of the County where residential development may occur around sensitive natural/scenic/historic areas or along existing unpaved county roads or along any roads paved or unpaved which are privately
owned and maintained. The purpose of this district is to preserve the rural/scenic character of the area,prevent overdevelopment in areas without adequate existing infrastructure and to encourage a compatible relationship between small scale, non-commercial agriculture and low density residential development and to effect an orderly transition of land from agriculture to low-density residential development until such time as
the availability of adequate infrastructure and community facilities or demand from adjacent built-up areas warrant a change which is compatible with the Oglethorpe County Comprehensive Plan and with the surrounding area.
