5 Fenced Acres Just 12 Miles from UGA Colbert, GA What if your next home gave you more than a place to live? What if it gave you room to grow, create, build, and put down roots? Just 12 miles from UGA, this 5-acre Colbert property offers the kind of space and flexibility that is getting harder to find this close to Athens. The property features five acres of improved pasture enclosed with 5-strand fencing and cross fencing, creating separate areas that may work beautifully for animals, gardening, outdoor projects, recreation, or simply enjoying a little more room between you and your neighbors. Already on the property is a move-in-ready 2-bedroom, 2-bath home with an open living and dining area, updated flooring, a comfortable kitchen with ample cabinetry, and two generously sized bedrooms, each with access to a full bath. But the real story here is the land and the possibilities. Live in the existing home and enjoy an affordable country lifestyle now. Explore the possibility of building your future home on the acreage while continuing to use the existing home. Depending upon county approval, zoning, soils, septic requirements, and other applicable regulations, there may also be potential for additional residential use of the property. For buyers who dream about a more hands-on lifestyle, imagine gardens, chickens, livestock, fruit trees, outdoor classrooms, workshops, projects, and plenty of room to explore. You get the quiet of the Madison County countryside without giving up access to Athens. UGA is approximately 12 miles away, putting shopping, restaurants, employment, healthcare, and everything Athens has to offer within easy reach. Quiet mornings. Open skies. Five crossed fenced acres. Room for animals, gardens, projects, and whatever your next chapter looks like. At $259,900, this isn't simply a home. It's an opportunity to put down roots and create something of your own. This home maybe availabe for a rent to own option.
