New Kings, Athens, Georgia

Description

Welcome to lot 9 of Ansel Acres - a rare opportunity to own 40.99 acres of beautiful North Georgia land in Jackson County offering an exceptional blend of open pasture, water frontage and natural landscape. The property is located just 15 minutes from the University of Georgia and Downtown Athens, with quick access to Highways 129 and 441 and less than 20 minutes to Interstate 85. From the moment you arrive, the property makes an impression with its expansive setting and scenic surroundings. One of the most remarkable features of this tract is its extensive water frontage, boasting approximately 2,500 feet along the North Oconee River along with an additional 1,500 feet of creeks flowing through and alongside the property's perimeter. This combination creates not only a stunning visual backdrop but also provides a reliable water source, strong wildlife habitat, and outstanding recreational appeal. The land offers a mix of flat to gently rolling terrain, making it both functional and picturesque. Utilized for running cattle, the property is well-suited for continued agricultural use, yet equally ideal for those looking to transition the land into a private estate, family compound, or long-term investment tract. Outdoor enthusiasts will especially appreciate the strong hunting potential and natural diversity the water corridors provide. While much of the acreage enjoys the benefits of river and creek frontage, Approximately 5 acres sit outside of the floodplain, offering an ideal homesite location. A perc test has already been completed and supports a conventional septic system, giving buyers confidence as they plan their future build. County water and power are available at the road, simplifying utility access. Access is convenient with 643 feet of road frontage along New Kings Bridge Road, allowing for a private entrance and flexible layout options. As part of the highly sought-after Ansel Acres development, this tract also offers the opportunity to expand - with additional adjoining lots available for buyers seeking more acreage, a family compound layout, or increased privacy buffers. The property also benefits from its proximity to surrounding growth and amenities, including a new county park planned just down the road off of New Kings Bridge road featuring walking trails, a splash pad, soccer fields, pickleball courts, and additional recreational spaces. Demand within Ansel Acres has been strong, with 11 of the 15 lots already under contract since being listed last week, making this a limited opportunity that may not last long. With its combination of extensive river frontage, flowing creeks, buildable homesite potential, agricultural usability, recreational appeal, and expansion flexibility, this property stands out as a truly special piece of Jackson County land.
