About this home
Oconee Preserve is a +/- 203.7 Acre Conservation Tract located in Oconee County; GA. Oconee Preserve is ideal for a conservation minded buyer looking for a conveniently located reasonably priced property in Oconee County. The property consists of two parcels: 6.56 acres (MP# D02-025H) and 197 acres (MP# D02-029). The 197-acre portion of the property is subject to a Conservation Easement that was established to preserve, promote and protect the conservation values of the property in perpetuity. The easement is held and monitored by Athens Land Trust. The 6.56 Acres is unencumbered.
The 197-acre parcel features a mature hardwood forest, including a variety of species such as white oak, red oak, hickory, and beech, among others. The unique upland and bottomland hardwood habitats, along with the three creeks, were the primary reasons for placing the property under easement, guaranteeing its protection for future generations. The easement allows for two building envelopes of up to two acres each: 1-Residential and 1-Pole Barn/Shed.
Being that the property is in a conservation easement, many activities are allowed and encouraged to promote healthy forests and wildlife habitats.
Permitted Activities:
- Hunting, Hiking, Bicycling, Bird Watching and Wild-life viewing.
- 1 Wildlife Food Plots/Openings
- Trails for walking, bicycling and trail riding.
The 6.56 Acres is not included in the Conservation Easement and allows for the building of one residential home.
Access is off Old Barnett Shoals Road via a private asphalt driveway that runs through the property. In addition, several trails wind through the mature hardwoods, providing excellent opportunities for walking, hiking, and trail riding. An electronic gate at the entrance requires all showings to be scheduled with the listing agent.
This property offers an opportunity for the future owner(s) to partner in the stewardship of a truly one-of-a-kind property.
