Spanning six private acres beneath a canopy of mature hardwoods, 151 Hickory Pointe Drive is a remarkable estate on Athens' Eastside.

A winding drive leads to the home, where large windows and four inviting porches capture peaceful woodland views. The main level features a formal dining room, an open great room with fireplace, kitchen and breakfast area, and a spacious primary suite with private deck access overlooking the saltwater pool and expansive patio. An office or guest bedroom, half bath, mudroom, and laundry room complete the main floor. Upstairs, two library spaces with built-in bookshelves, a central loft, and two private bedroom suites with full baths provide flexible living space. An unfinished basement offers abundant storage. Conveniently located near Athens' Eastside shopping, dining, parks, the University of Georgia Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Downtown Athens, and Wire Park, this distinctive estate combines privacy, character, and history in an exceptional setting.

4 Beds ⋅ 5 Baths ⋅ CL344844 MLS ⋅ ACTIVE Status ⋅ 3,169 SqFt. ⋅ 1989 Year Built
Set on 14 private acres, this extraordinary Williamsburg-inspired estate is a rare blend of architectural authenticity and resort-style grounds. Blueprinted by noted Williamsburg architect Bill Phillips and built with authentic wood-molded brick, Williamsburg-style ground gutters, and fully operable wooden shutters, every detail honors classic craftsmanship. Grounds designed by a UGA landscape architect feature manicured gardens, stone terraces, a large pool, and a covered outdoor grilling pavilion — all enclosed by a discreet deer fence that preserves the views while protecting lush plantings and vegetable beds. Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows flood the main-level primary suite, living areas, and gourmet kitchen with natural light and sweeping views of the property. A screened porch overlooks the garden terrace, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. The home has been meticulously maintained and includes a three-car garage with an upper-level guest or in-law suite. Magazine-worthy, serene, and move-in ready — an estate of this caliber and privacy is rarely available in Athens.
