You don't have to live in remote no-mans land.. to enjoy homesteading and 68.3 acres of woods, meadows, creeks, the stars on a clear night, and peace and quiet. Less than one-hour drive from Athens and University of Georgia, or from Greenville South Carolina, home of Furman University and its nearer neighbor, Clemson University. You don't have to spend two years building a home of stone, brick and cedar beam on the outside, and luxury in the details on the inside, because it is all here waiting for you. Constructed in 2001, the home was thoughtfully designed with timeless French countryside architecture and overlooks rolling pasture, mature hardwood forest, and nearly a mile of creek frontage.
