Recreation - Watkinsville, GA
Welcome to 1520 Marshall Wilkes Road, a private riverfront oasis tucked away in south Oconee County. Whether you've been looking for the perfect place to build your homestead, the ideal location for your hunting club, or a weekend getaway spot for the family, look no further. There's so much to explore in the 99.8 sprawling acres, with lots of elevation change throughout and 3.5 miles of well-maintained trails for getting around. Roughly 80% of the property is wooded, the majority of which is hardwood. Natural springs dot the property, and a babbling creek bisects the middle of the acreage from west to east and drains into the Oconee River, which provides the eastern boundary of the tract with nearly 2,300 ft of river frontage. A newly-added 3 acre pond with dock is ready to be stocked, and underground power has been run to the bluff overlooking the pond, opening up endless possibilities...
Welcome to 1520 Marshall Wilkes Road, a private riverfront oasis tucked away in south Oconee County. Whether you've been looking for the perfect place to build your homestead, the ideal location for your hunting club, or a weekend getaway spot for the family, look no further. There's so much to explore in the 99.8 sprawling acres, with lots of elevation change throughout and 3.5 miles of well-maintained trails for getting around. Roughly 80% of the property is wooded, the majority of which is hardwood. Natural springs dot the property, and a babbling creek bisects the middle of the acreage from west to east and drains into the Oconee River, which provides the eastern boundary of the tract with nearly 2,300 ft of river frontage. A newly-added 3 acre pond with dock is ready to be stocked, and underground power has been run to the bluff overlooking the pond, opening up endless possibilities for a future homesite with a stunning view. Fencing runs along the entirety of the southern, western, and northern property lines, and there's an automatic gate at the road for added privacy and security. Wildlife and game is abundant, with deer and turkey throughout the year and ducks stopping in on their migrations to stay in the creek bottom. The first of two cabins features a full kitchen, living area, bathroom, bedroom, and bunkroom, providing enough space for the whole family to enjoy. The second cabin was originally constructed in the 1880s and was moved to the property in 2022. It's been tastefully updated with a new floor system, posh bathroom with frameless shower and antique sink, and mini-split air conditioning unit, but retains its rustic charm with beautiful wood interior and sleeping loft. Both cabins are serviced by a 200 GPM well, and have separate septic systems. A large pole barn made from rough sawn lumber milled on site provides covered storage for equipment and toys. Simply put, there's no better piece of property in Oconee. Come see it while you can!1. 99.8 acres of pristine Oconee County land, 2. Nearly a half mile of frontage on the Oconee River, 3.
