Homesteader's Dream: The Perfect Place to Raise, Learn & Explore Just 15 minutes from downtown Athens, this extraordinary 8.2-acre property isn't just a home, it's a way of life. If you've ever dreamed of raising your children with the freedom to explore nature, learn hands-on, and build lifelong memories, this is your chance. Wake up each morning to the gentle hum of nature, maybe spotting a baby deer nestled in the woods or watching the blue herons gliding across your own private lake. This property is a place where education happens beyond the pages of a book, where kids can study life cycles in the garden, understand science through the changing seasons, and experience history through stories told around the firepit in the outdoor pavilion. The current family has spent countless nights playing flashlight tag under the stars, hosting small group gatherings in the pavilion, and harvesting homegrown fruits and vegetables. Imagine your children picking blueberries for breakfast or learning the art of making homemade muscadine jelly from your own vineyard. The vineyard is well cared for, ready for its next owners to continue the tradition of even try their hand at winemaking. When the day slows down, grab a fishing pole and spend a quiet afternoon by the lake, reeling in bass, crappie, or bluegill. Or simply sit by the water's edge, watching the ducks, turtles, and geese pass by. The home itself is just as inviting as the land. With 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, there's plenty of space for a growing family, guests, or even a dedicated homeschool classroom. The open kitchen, featuring custom-built cabinetry, is the heart of the home, perfect for family meals and hands-on learning. Updates like new hardwood flooring, LeafGuard TM gutters, and a whole-house generator provide comfort and peace of mind, while the REME air purification system ensures clean, fresh air year-round. This property isn't just a house, a legacy waiting to be written. Whether you're looking for a homesteading lifestyle, a nature-filled childhood for your kids, or a peaceful retreat from the world, this rare gem is ready for you.
