16 Prime Acres in the Heart of Oconee County Located in the prestigious Elder Mill area, this 16 acre property is a rare find-raw, beautiful land with serious potential. Just minutes from the historic Elder Mill Covered Bridge and Hwy 15, it's surrounded by high-end homes, rolling farms, and protected land. If you're looking for space, privacy, and long-term value in one of Oconee County's most desirable areas, this is it. The Land Speaks for Itself This isn't just acreage-it's a lifestyle. A new four-board black horse fence and gated entrance set the tone as you enter a straight, gravel drive that leads through a canopy of mature hardwoods and pines. The property unfolds into a clean, walkable landscape made for exploration. Two creeks-including the bold-flowing Little Rose Creek-cut through the land, with a custom-built bridge leading to a secluded 4-acre hardwood stand. Trails are already in place, and the gently rolling terrain is ideal for horses, an estate home, or simply enjoying the quiet. The property backs up to USDA-protected land, ensuring long-term privacy and a peaceful backdrop. Neighboring properties feature stately white oaks on the hilltops, adding even more character to the setting. Solid Structure. Blank Slate. Set back from the road is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home-freshly painted with a new roof and gutters. The interior has been cleared, primed, and brought to the sheetrock stage, offering a rare blank slate ready for your design. The walkout basement is framed for a bedroom, den, and workshop space. New front and rear decks overlook the surrounding woods-perfect for morning coffee or unwinding after a day on the land. Build Your Legacy Here Whether you're planning a private estate, equestrian property, or generational retreat, this land delivers. It's private, usable, and packed with potential-everything you need to create something that lasts. Want to See the Real Value? Walk It. This is a property best experienced in person. Come walk it, feel the peace, and see the possibilities firsthand. Call Mark Costello for a private showing: 706-207-5850.
