Property Description

This is the one! Escape to your own private 3-acre retreat in highly sought-after Oconee County - just minutes from Athens and 5 minutes to Watkinsville. Located within the nationally designated Bishop Historic District, this charming 1938 farmhouse was built and lived in by one of Bishop's first mayors, blending local history with modern livability. Inside, you'll find hardwood floors, a bright and airy living space, and a sunroom perfect for morning coffee. The spacious bedrooms, separate dining room, and updated kitchen with gas stove and stainless steel appliances and vent hood make everyday living easy. Recent updates since 2024 - including HVAC ducts, water heater, plumbing, paint, and an enclosed back porch - offer peace of mind, while a sturdy metal roof and tile bath add lasting quality. Step outside to three peaceful acres with mature pecan trees and magnolias - over an acre already fenced for pets, gardening, or hobby farming, with additional land beyond for added privacy and flexibility. Enjoy the charm of Bishop with its local events and beautifully renovated historic community center reopening in April 2026. Located in Oconee County with access to top schools, this home offers a rare combination of acreage, history, and community. Properties like this don't come along very often. Easy to show!
