The property boasts an impressive 3,700 feet of frontage along Greenbrier Creek, offering exceptional wildlife habitat, hardwood bottoms, and year-round water access rarely found on a tract of this size. Dual road frontage adds both convenience and flexibility with access from JT Elder Road, a county-maintained gravel road, and Colham Ferry Road, a paved thoroughfare connecting directly to Watkinsville and the greater Athens area.
