Down a winding drive and through a gated entry tucked away on a private, 7.20 wooded acres is a spectacular country cottage package that's bursting from the seams with character and Southern charm. A rare find, this Oconee County naturalist dream offers a haven promoting a peaceful setting full of perennials, annuals, fruit bearing trees including fig, apple, pear, and pomegranate, raised garden beds all in full bloom. It's your own secret garden! Truly a unique opportunity this property features a primary cottage and a secondary studio cottage upgraded to the max, perfect for vacation rental options, inlaw or guest quarters. The studio apartment offers an open layout appointed with luxury vinyl plank floors, living room upgraded with built-in electric fireplace, a full custom-designed kitchen, complete bathroom and storage. There's even outdoor living space with the front porch allowing you to oversee the chickens in the matching, custom chicken coop next door. Simply charming, the primary cottage welcomes you through a white picket fence and fairy garden to the rocking-chair front porch. Peaceful tranquility is an understatement for the pureness this setting exudes. To enjoy this backdrop a little further, an upgraded screened porch with slate tile flooring, paneled ceiling and custom sliding door occupies the front of the home. Once inside you can't help but pause as you take in the custom features that enhance the open plan. LVP floors, custom sliding barn doors, bead board paneled ceiling, upgraded light fixtures and ceiling fans, and custom built-ins are just a few of the fine details. Commanding the living room is a central handcrafted, stone fireplace that creates the perfect focal piece. The open concept maximizes space and allows easy entertaining options from the kitchen. Continuing with the common theme of upgraded appointments, the kitchen serves updated cabinets accented by glistening glass tile backsplash, boasts rich butcher's block counters, and is complete with stainless appliances. Tucked away on the left side of the home are 2 cozy bedrooms and a flex space ideal for a home office or even a 3rd bedroom should you need. The full bath packs a punch with custom detailing down to the copper sink, rustic ceiling panels, tile floors, shiplap accent wall, and a spa-inspired shower. Maximizing every inch of space, the rear foyer features floor-to-ceiling built-in shelving, cabinetry and houses the laundry room. Exciting amenities extend to the exterior where a circular patio with pergola provides the perfect spot to relax, take in some fresh air and crank up the BBQ. For the chilly months grab a seat around the fire-pit for marshmallow roasting. This perfect mini-farm boasts tons of attributes to aid in different ventures, such as; multiple barns, sheds, storage buildings, 2 wells, generator hookups, half the property is fenced, and a babbling creek running through the rear of the property adds the perfect touch. This Oconee County gem must be seen to truly appreciate all it has to offer!!
