Set on 5.5 private acres in Crystal Hills, one of Oconee County's most established and sought-after acreage communities, 1611 Crystal Hills Drive offers something increasingly rare — genuine privacy, a stunning natural setting, and an Athens address with Oconee County convenience. A circular driveway approaches the home through a gently rolling, tree-lined lot with the kind of mature natural landscaping that takes decades to establish. The setting alone is worth the visit. The home's classic traditional design features formal living and dining rooms, a spacious family room with wood ceiling detail and custom built-ins, and large windows throughout that frame the surrounding property. A screened porch extends the living space outdoors, perfectly positioned to enjoy the privacy and natural beauty of the lot. The two-car garage and unfinished basement provide excellent storage and long-term flexibility. The layout is generous and well-considered — a strong foundation for a buyer ready to bring their own vision to the interiors and make this exceptional property entirely their own. For buyers searching for acreage homes in Oconee County, large lot properties near Athens GA, or private estate-style homes with an Athens address, Crystal Hills is one of very few communities that delivers on all three. Convenient to Athens, Watkinsville, and the broader Oconee County corridor. A rare setting. An established neighborhood. An opportunity to create something truly personal.
