197 Thurmond Road

This 60± acre tract off Thurmond Road sits just west of Athens, Georgia, with about a third of a mile of private frontage on the Middle Oconee River and road frontage on both GA Highway 330 and Thurmond Road. Enter from Thurmond Road and the land opens into gently rolling pasture, partially fenced and framed by mature tree lines. Beyond the fields, hardwood bottoms stretch toward the river, where mature white oaks and pecans rise, and wildlife signs are easy to find: rubs on saplings, scrapes beneath overhanging branches, and well-traveled game trails. Deer, turkey, ducks, and other native wildlife visit often. The land changes with the seasons. Spring brings lush green grass across the Bermuda hay fields. In fall, the hardwoods turn gold while hay is cut and baled for horses and livestock through the winter. Winter opens long views across the fields and tree line. Please do NOT access the property without a confirmed appointment; the adjoining residence is occupied. There is room to run horses, hunt the woods, plant gardens, manage livestock, or simply hold the land as a long-term retreat. Its size, natural buffers, and setting provide real privacy while remaining convenient to Athens. Just across Highway 330 from the property's entrance, the 505± acre Bear Creek Reservoir offers open water, with a public boat ramp for boating and fishing. Downtown Athens and the University of Georgia are about 15± minutes away: close enough for dinner, a ballgame, or a night in town, yet far enough that the evenings still belong to the land. Acreage subject to final survey. The offering excludes the existing residence, pond, well, and outbuildings. All information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed and should be independently verified.
