125 Olympic Court is a 13.92-acre Employment-Industrial (E-I) development site in the Athena Industrial Park corridor of Athens-Clarke County. The E-I district permits warehouse and distribution, light manufacturing and assembly, professional office, and research and technology uses by right, with medium manufacturing, outdoor storage, and self-storage available through the special-use-permit process. The parcel is wooded with mixed hardwood and pine and adjoins the CSX rail corridor along its west boundary. It carries the Employment Center designation on the county Future Land Use Map - so current zoning is aligned with the long-range plan and no rezoning is required for the most common industrial uses. The property sits in the Olympic Drive industrial corridor, the established industrial hub of Athens-Clarke County and home to Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health, Mativ, CertainTeed, Carrier, McLane, SKAPS Industries, and Accurus Aerospace. U.S. Highway 29 and Highway 72 are approximately 2 miles from the site, the Highway 10 Loop (Athens Perimeter) is approximately 3 miles, and downtown Athens is 5 miles - about a 15-minute drive. Athens-Clarke County has a population of approximately 130,000 and anchors a metro area of more than 220,000 with a regional labor force above 100,000. The University of Georgia, with more than 10,000 employees, provides a stable economic base and a deep labor pool, and county unemployment runs near 3 percent, below the state average. Industrial vacancy in the Athens market remains tight at 4-6 percent with limited new supply, supporting continued demand for development-zoned industrial land.

There are properties that check boxes, and then there are properties that are simply impossible to recreate. 390 Duncan Springs is the latter. Spanning 6.5 acres with nearly a quarter mile of frontage on the Middle Oconee River, this is a rare opportunity to own what feels like your own private park in Glenwood, one of Athens' most beloved neighborhoods. The idyllic setting is paired with a thoughtfully updated home that feels warm, inviting, and deeply connected to its surroundings. The setting is what truly stays with you. Rolling green space stretches out behind the home, framed by mature trees and the quiet rhythm of the river beyond. There's a real sense of privacy and calm here, yet you're just over a mile from the restaurants, coffee shops, and everyday conveniences of Five Points. Paths lead down to the river, where afternoons can be spent kayaking, fishing, exploring, or simply enjoying the kind of peaceful natural backdrop that's nearly impossible to find this close to town. Inside, the home strikes that hard-to-find balance between comfortable and elevated. A major renovation completed in 2016 transformed the home into a more open and functional layout while preserving its warmth and character. Vaulted ceilings with reclaimed heart pine beams and skylights anchor the main living area, creating a naturally bright space that feels expansive yet welcoming. French doors open onto an oversized deck, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living and making the landscape feel like an extension of the home itself. The kitchen sits at the center of it all, designed for both gathering and everyday living. Inset solid birch cabinetry, Calacatta marble countertops and backsplash, reclaimed heart pine shelving, a large island, drink fridge, and wet bar come together in a way that feels elevated without being overdone. On the opposite side of the kitchen, a second family room lined with custom ash built-ins offers another cozy gathering space, along with access to the deck and beautiful views of the property. A guest suite addition completed in 2023, paired with a full bath and exterior access, creates a flexible setup that works beautifully for visitors, multigenerational living, or anyone looking for a main-level suite. Upstairs, the primary suite offers the kind of scale and functionality that's increasingly difficult to find, complete with a spacious ensuite bath featuring a soaking tub, water closet, makeup vanity, oversized walk-in closet with dressing area, built-in entertainment center, and even a dedicated washer and dryer within the suite itself. Three additional bedrooms and another full bath complete the upper level. Beyond the beauty of the property itself, the practical upgrades are extensive: encapsulated crawlspace, dual hybrid HVAC systems plus a ductless system, dual central vacuums, dual water heaters, newer windows, plantation shutters throughout, EV charging outlet, irrigation system, built-in surround sound, gas fireplace, and an office outfitted by a former University Provost. Multiple outbuildings, including a chicken coop, storage shed, and additional flex structures, further add to the property's unique character and functionality. Glenwood has long been considered one of Athens' hidden gems. Tucked into the Five Points area and zoned for award-winning Barrow Elementary School, it offers a rare mix of privacy, natural beauty, and timeless charm. Properties like 390 Duncan Springs seldom come together this well, and even more rarely do they become available.

There are properties that impress you. And then there are properties that make you exhale. Set behind a gated, tree-lined drive on eight private acres — Oconee County taxes, Athens address — this is the kind of estate that almost doesn't exist anymore. No HOA. No neighbors in your sightline. No compromise. And just 75 minutes from Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Athens is not your average college town. It's a nationally recognized food and arts destination, home to the University of Georgia, and consistently ranked among the South's most livable cities. Oconee County delivers top-rated schools, low taxes, and a pace of life that reminds you why you wanted to leave the city in the first place. The 2022 Georgian estate spans nearly 9,000 square feet across three finished levels, designed for the way people actually live — and entertain. The main level opens to a chef's kitchen with quartzite counters, custom cabinetry, a wine tower, pecky cypress beams, and a hidden walk-in pantry that will stop every guest in their tracks. A screened porch extends the living space outdoors, overlooking a resort pool and spa framed by mature trees and absolute privacy. The primary suite and a full guest suite anchor the main level. Upstairs, a media room and three additional bedrooms. The terrace level offers a complete living area, bedroom, bath, and direct pool access — ideal for guests, in-laws, or a long weekend that turns into a week. And then there's the indoor basketball court — because why not. Three-car garage. Eight acres with no one telling you what to do with them. A home that trades big-city noise for something rarer: space, beauty, and genuine peace of mind. This is not a house you settle for. It's one you wait for.

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.

Key Investment Highlights: Unmatched Location: Direct access to College Avenue and immediate proximity to downtown core, a highly walkable area with strong pedestrian activity and lifestyle amenities. The University of Georgia’s enrollment continues to expand, with fall 2025 enrollment reaching approximately 43,888 students, up over the prior year and reflecting ongoing demand for student-oriented services, housing, and commercial offerings.  In addition, UGA remains one of the nation’s most competitive and sought-after public research universities.

Whether envisioned for student housing, multifamily residential, mixed-use retail/office, or a strategic campus-oriented project, this site offers the scale, location, and market fundamentals that sophisticated buyers seek.
