1520 Marshall Wilkes Road, Watkinsville

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, your search ends here. 1520 Marshall Wilkes Road is a nearly 100 acre riverside oasis in Oconee County waiting to be explored. Three and a half miles of well-maintained trails carry you over wooded hills, along a babbling spring-fed creek, and down to the lower pasture, where a 3 acre pond and 2,300 feet of river frontage await. Enjoy an afternoon fishing on the stocked pond's dock, or drop into the river at the boat ramp for a day on the Oconee. Underground power has been run to the bluff overlooking the well-fed 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 abounds, 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, stone fireplace, 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 County. Schedule your showing today while you can!
