Beautiful 18-acre farm just 17 miles from downtown Athens with pond and perfect mix of pasture and woods. The home is dated, but has a lot of charm and character. With some TLC, it will make a great family farmhouse. In addition to four bedrooms and two bathrooms, there is a carport, a den, living room, laundry room and an office. The property is within walking distance of Oglethorpe County High School, Subway Restaurant and Bell's Grocery Store. You'll find many mature hardwoods across the property and an older shed behind the home. There is also potential for commercial usage with frontage along Athens Rd.

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.
