Beautiful 200 Oaks Farm is less than 3 miles from Watkinsville or Wire Park and minutes to Athens! This versatile 5.85-acre property offers country living in a location that keeps everyday life remarkably convenient. Once home to a charming lavender farm, 200 Oaks is already set up for so many of the things people dream about doing “one day.” Bring the horses. Grow the garden. Raise chickens or goats. Reimagine the greenhouse. Open the farm stand. Create a studio or home-based business. Or simply come home, pour a glass of wine and gather around the fabulous new fire pit as the sun goes down. At the heart of the property is a spacious 5-br, 4-ba home with approximately 3,493 s/f with a flexible floor plan. Living and gathering spaces, a sunroom, porches and patios make the home comfortable for everyday life and great for entertaining. A partially finished basement adds even more usable space, while garage, studio and workshop areas provide room for hobbies and storage. Outside is where 200 Oaks really becomes something special. Fenced areas are ready for horses and other animals, while barns and outbuildings support everything from livestock and equipment to workshops and creative pursuits. An RV shelter with hookups adds yet another layer of flexibility. The former lavender farm’s greenhouse and retail shop/farm stand have their own separate driveway, creating an opportunity for a flower or herb farm, garden market, home business, office, studio or other creative venture without disrupting the privacy of the main residence. And then there is one of the property’s most compelling features: a second homesite with power, well, and septic opens the door to a future guest cottage, multigenerational living, rental, family compound or additional residence. Horse farm. Homestead. Garden property. Creative retreat. Small business. Multi-generational compound. Or simply a beautiful place with enough land to breathe and enough flexibility to evolve with you.
