5 ACRE, RIVERFRONT OCONEE COUNTY ESTATE. Welcome to Bishop, Georgia where quiet isn't empty, it's luxury...here life slows down in all the right ways. This amazing property offers something increasingly rare: space to breathe, room to grow, and the kind of stillness you didn't know you missed. River Run is a cul de sac street lined with estate homes that enjoy privacy without isolation. Equally distanced from the beautiful city of Madison and subtle town of Watkinsville, there is no lack of local conveniences close by this rural retreat. The home itself is a showcase with a rhythm rather than a layout. It breaks from the expected grid, trading straight lines for lived in flow and flare. Upon formal entry on the second level, you aren't just dumped into the home, you're introduced to its rhythm. The floor plan unfolds with intention, creating an immediate presence with cinematic views, spiral staircase, and a curve where you'd expect a corner. The design offers layered living, multiple spaces stretch out like chapters instead of one big headline, giving each moment it's on setting- cooking that feels social, lounging that feels intentional, dining that feels like an occasion even on a Tuesday. Additionally, the second level hosts a large, private guest wing or in-law suite. The primary suite is on the terrace level and is positioned as a true escape not an extension of a hallway. The kitchen, also on the terrace level anchors the home like a gathering point should. Sightlines drift instead of march, guiding you from social to private spaces without announcement. Bedrooms aren't stacked like afterthoughts, they're placed with purpose, creating separation where it matters and connection where it counts. Opposite the guest wing and accessible by a second, dedicated staircase are 3 secondary bedrooms with flex spaces, walk-in closets and shared bathroom. Here you won't find traditional or conventional, you'll find your platform and personality. Here you have more than a home, you have an estate property, a tranquil setting, private acreage, a river with deep water access for private fishing and kayaking. Professionally landscaped front lawn with river rock and shade trees, rail post and hog wire side borders, and an automated gated entrance bring this estate to an elevated level of living.
