Property Description

Come explore this 9.57-acre tract nestled in the peaceful countryside of Jackson County, offering a beautiful blend of cleared usable land, natural water features, and wooded privacy. The front of the property features approximately 2.5 acres that have been thoughtfully cleared and mostly level—creating an ideal homesite with plenty of space to build while enjoying open views and easy access. From there, the land gently slopes toward the rear of the property, where the landscape transitions into a more wooded setting anchored by a spring-fed creek. This tract stands out with its natural character and livability, highlighted by a flowing creek, a visible spring head, and a network of winding walking trails that invite you to explore the property and enjoy its peaceful surroundings. The property includes a working well that has recently been tested for drinking water, with results confirming its quality. A newly recorded survey is in place with clearly marked property lines and corners, and the tract has completed perc testing suitable for a conventional septic system—providing confidence and readiness to build. Conveniently located just a short drive from the University of Georgia and Downtown Athens, the property also offers quick access to Highways 129 and 441 and is less than 20 minutes from Interstate 85, making commuting and travel simple while maintaining a quiet, rural feel. As part of the Ansel Acres development, Lot 13 is one of 15 available parcels, with an adjoining 13 acre parcel available for those seeking additional space, enhanced privacy, or the opportunity to create a family compound. Future growth in the area adds even more value, with a new county park planned just minutes away at the corner of Highway 129 and New Kings Bridge Road, expected to feature walking trails, a splash pad, soccer fields, pickleball courts, and more.
