The community itself spans 68.5 acres, with two gated entrances and a cozy, occupied 3-bedroom gatehouse.
In addition to its lakefront location, this property also boasts river frontage along the Oconee River, adding to its natural beauty. A flagstone path leads to the welcoming great room, which features a striking 20-foot beamed ceiling and newly refinished wide plank wood floors. A custom fireplace adds warmth to the space, perfect for relaxing evenings. French doors with leaded glass transoms open to the large covered porch and sunroom, both of which offer breathtaking views of the lake and dock. The new windows in the sunroom maximize the views of this tranquil retreat.
The kitchen has been recently updated with a new bay window for an herb garden, granite countertops, a stylish backsplash, and a charming nook that could function as a butler’s pantry. The master bedroom is located on the main level, with expansive windows that showcase the spectacular lake views. One of the additional bedrooms on the main floor can double as an office, complete with a private entrance and an outdoor shower. Built-in bookshelves and a half bath complete this functional space.
Upstairs, a bonus room with a full bath offers the flexibility of a fifth bedroom, while ample closet space and storage throughout the home ensure you’ll have room for all your needs. Just 12 miles from Athens making it a convenient choice for families.
The home is surrounded by a small group of homes on the lake in the peaceful Grand Oaks neighborhood, making this a truly special piece of land. Additional amenities include a barn/workshop and an easement for a private drive off Hwy 82, if desired. The neighborhood has an annual fee, typically ranging between $1,000 and $1,500, to cover the shared land and community upkeep.
