You have arrived! Welcome to a rare offering in the heart of Oconee County Georgia — 344± unrestricted acres just minutes from Watkinsville and Athens Georgia, combining recreational, agricultural, and long-term investment potential in one of Georgia's most sought-after growth corridors. The property boasts an impressive 3,700± feet of frontage along Greenbrier Creek, offering exceptional wildlife habitat, hardwood bottoms, and year-round water access rarely found on a tract of this size. Dual road frontage adds both convenience and flexibility, with access from JT Elder Road, a county-maintained gravel road, as well as Colham Ferry Road, a paved thoroughfare connecting directly to Watkinsville and the greater Athens area.

Whether envisioned as a private family retreat, working farm, hunting property, timber investment, or future development tract, this acreage offers the space, water, timber, and access to make it possible — all within one of Georgia's fastest-growing counties.
