    About this House

    What's unique:Premier hilltop homesiteMassive mature timber
    Spectacular Estate Lot in Athens City Limits

    4.02 surveyed acres featuring a premier hilltop homesite on the corner of Compton and Oakdale Roads.

    Approximately 3 acres of productive row-crop land stand ready for a new vision, while the remaining acreage is covered in massive, mature timber that frames a small feeder stream flowing into Piney Creek.

    Power and water are available at the Compton and Oakdale Road frontage. Minimal restrictions leave the possibilities endless—ideal for a small horse farm, a more self-sufficient homestead, or simply additional acreage, all while remaining within city limits.

      "The only way to get around in my town is by car. I do see a few brave souls who walk or ride bikes but it is dangerous because there are no sidewalks and the street lanes are narrow. Athens city counsel needs to address this because Athens is growing. 2 great colleges and Steelcase and Toyota makes it a popular town for families of all ages. Sidewalks and wider lanes would lift moods and reduce bellies."
