UPDATED. PRIVATE. UNEXPECTEDLY PEACEFUL.
RE-PRICED at $485K — Private 1.2-Acre Retreat with Creekside Setting Just Minutes from Athens
Welcome to 165 Emerald Drive—where everyday living meets a rare sense of space and serenity just minutes from everything Athens has to offer. Set on approximately 1.2 acres, this property offers the kind of privacy and breathing room that’s increasingly hard to find this close to town.
Inside, you’ll find a thoughtfully updated home designed for both comfort and functionality, with light-filled living spaces, a well-appointed kitchen, and a layout that flows effortlessly for everyday living and entertaining. Whether you’re hosting friends or enjoying a quiet night in, the home strikes the perfect balance of openness and warmth.
Step outside and the setting truly shines. The expansive yard offers endless possibilities—from gardening to gathering—and is bordered by a sweet little creek along the edge of the property, creating a peaceful natural backdrop without impacting the homesite (elevation certificate on file). It’s a setting that feels tucked away, yet remains incredibly convenient to shopping, dining, and all that Athens has to offer.
If you’ve been searching for space, privacy, and a move-in ready home without sacrificing proximity to town, this one delivers.
