Property Description

***OPEN HOUSE - May 9, 2-4pm*** Tucked between Athens, Georgia and Lake Oconee, the The McWhorter Home is exactly the kind of place people mean when they say they're looking for something with real character - and in this case, that character runs 160 years deep. Built in the 1800s and carefully moved to its current Greene County setting in 1861, this historic four-bedroom Colonial was lovingly restored by the original owner's own great-granddaughter, and that devotion shows in every detail: original heart pine floors, eleven-foot ceilings, eleven fireplaces(two working), a winding staircase framed by stained glass, and a covered front porch with swings that overlook the gorgeous setting. The primary suite is on the main level, with three additional bedrooms and a large bath upstairs. The kitchen features an island, double ovens, and stainless appliances, while the back of the home opens into a sunroom with a redwood sauna and a nine-foot round gunite hot tub overlooking a stunning 54x22 gunite saltwater pool. Beyond the fountain garden walkway sits a four-car garage with a greenhouse, workshop, and a full three-bedroom apartment above - ideal for guests, extended family, or income potential. All of this unfolds across twenty gently rolling acres with fenced pastures, a pond, a running creek, a treehouse, pecan trees, fruit trees, muscadines, a chicken coop, beehives, and room enough to host all type of gatherings. The Firefly Trail and Durhamtown ATV Park are just down the road, making this retreat the ideal place to live. Come walk the land - this one deserves to be experienced in person.
