About this home

Commercial Upside: Adjacent property was recently rezoned for office use, increasing the likelihood of successful rezoning for commercial, office, or mixed-use development. Prime Location: Directly beside Athens Academy and minutes from Watkinsville and Athens, with excellent traffic counts and corridor visibility. Path of Progress: The U.S. 441 / Macon Highway corridor continues to attract major investment, including Oconee Mercantile (planned mixed-use project), Christian Brothers Automotive, and other emerging medical and professional developments. Flexible Exit Strategies: Operate as a rental duplex for steady cash flow or pursue rezoning and redevelopment to maximize long-term asset value.
