Description

Exceptional 20-Acre Property in Watkinsville With Two Homes, a 1-acre pond and Remarkable Potential! Discover an extraordinary opportunity to own 20 acres in Watkinsville—a property rich in character, history, and possibilities. Once home to the Historic Happy Valley Pottery, this land offers a serene and private setting surrounded by hundreds of acres of uninterrupted woodland. Boasting 871 feet of paved road frontage, the property holds tremendous potential for subdivision, making it ideal for a family compound, creative retreat, investment project, or multi-generational estate. A recorded survey already divides the land into 5-acre tracts, giving buyers the flexibility to purchase the entire 20 acres or select individual parcels. Whether you’re looking to build multiple homes, preserve the land as a single estate, or create income-producing opportunities, the groundwork has already been laid. Each of the 5 acre raw land parcels have already been soil tested and are suitable for septic. The property has been recently surveyed with property corners set and lines flagged for easy navigation. The property includes two existing homes, each full of charm and ready for a thoughtful renovation. The main home, a 1920s farmhouse expanded over the years, offers approximately 2,128 sq. ft. of living space. It features 3–4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, original pine flooring and cabinetry in portions of the home, and additional spaces finished with carpet or vinyl. A cozy fireplace, screened front and back porches, and a newer metal roof add to its Southern farmhouse appeal, making it a beautiful canvas for restoration. The second residence, built in 1996, is a welcoming 1,050-sq.-ft. cottage with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, complete with an 800-sq.-ft. unfinished basement. The interior showcases handmade kitchen cabinetry, soaring pine ceilings, and wood siding that give the home a warm, rustic feel. Both homes are being sold as-is, offering the opportunity to live on-site while renovating, or to update one home while building on one of the additional tracts. Despite its peaceful seclusion, this property sits in a prime location—just 9 miles from downtown Watkinsville, a short drive to Madison, and only 30 minutes from Athens. You’ll enjoy the perfect combination of country quiet and easy access to shopping, dining, and Oconee County’s award-winning schools. Opportunities like this—20 acres with history, multiple homes, subdivision potential, frontage, and unmatched privacy—rarely come available in Oconee County, especially at this price. Whether you’re an investor, homesteader, or visionary builder, this property is ready to become something truly exceptional.
