This property is more than a house, it is a way of life, the art of enjoying the comforts and luxury of home in an amazing setting. From the decks enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. Watch a heron fly over as he is leaving the lake for another nearby landing spot, see turtles along the path as you walk down to the lake to cast a line for an afternoon of fishing or stay on the deck and sip a frosty beverage. When you leave the hustle and bustle of downtown Athens just 20 minutes away, or the nearby retail area with medical, eateries and shopping, you will escape to your very own at-home retreat where life is good.
