LOCATION: The property is located in a quiet area of southwest Madison County GA, a few miles north of Athens, home of the University of Georgia. Madison County has a population of 25,000 with agriculture being its dominant industry. Most residents commute to Athens for work. The location of the residence affords easy access to the perimeter of Athens, the 4-lane highway 441 and Interstate I-85. RESIDENCE: The house was build in 1978 and underwent a major renovation/addition in 2001. In 2007 the present owners bought the place and updated it to suit their taste and needs. The house has a split-level floor plan with a living area of about 3,700 square feet with 4 bedrooms, 3 full-and 2 half baths. The split-level layout eliminates long flights of stairs common in regular 2-story houses. The kitchen and living room are one open space on the main floor. The master bedroom is on this floor as well. Seven steps up from the main floor lead to the area with 3 bedrooms with 2 full baths. Another seven steps down from the main floor lead to the former basement which was converted to an office/recreation room and an adjacent laundry room with washer/dryer, sink and a sewing machine table. An outside door leads to the peaceful back-yard pergola area. The front yard/garden area boast a large water fountain, a fire pit for outside grilling, a bocce ring and an in ground saline pool. The small vegetable garden has raised beds. The 300 feet deep drilled well supplies the water for the house and barn. The water supply is plentiful, even in drought years. SHOP AND BARN: The shop has a surface area of 2100 square feet with concrete floor throughout, 110/220 Volts electricity and a small bath room. The barn has 2600 square feet and hot and cold water supply. The length of the paved drive-way is 900 feet and is thick enough to support heavy equipment traffic. (the previous owner had a grading contracting business) ACREAGE: The house, shop and barn sit on tract ONE which has 15 acres. Five acres are in improved, fenced pasture for your horses. The balance is in hardwoods with a small pond and stream. Tract TWO is located across the street with 16.5 acres of hay field and 2 ponds. The size of the neighboring tracts of land are of similar size and there are no poultry houses in the vicinity. REASON FOR SELLING: As empty nesters the owners want to downsize and move closer to family. PRICE: The price for the property is $595,000. Prior to scheduling a showing appointment, owners wish to be in possession of a certifying bank letter from the prospective buyer. If possible, owners would like to stay on as tenants after the sale for a period of several months.
