A once-in-a-generation offering where legacy, architecture, and opportunity converge. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, 570 Prince Avenue has served as the official residence of the President of the University of Georgia since 1949, when it was acquired by the University System of Georgia. Over more than 70 years, this distinguished estate has hosted prominent guests and landmark gatherings that have shaped both the university and the city of Athens, Georgia. Constructed in the 1850s and set on approximately five acres along one of Athens’ most iconic, tree-lined corridors, the estate offers roughly 9,000 square feet of reception and living space. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated, original architectural details, gracious entertaining rooms, formal gardens, and a sweeping wraparound porch define the property’s timeless character. The University System of Georgia has reintroduced the property to the market following a prior contract that was ultimately terminated when local planning approvals were not secured, creating an opportunity for a visionary buyer to steward a piece of Georgia history into its next chapter, while preserving its historical character and stately facade.

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 in Oconee County - with an Athens address - this is the kind of estate that almost doesn't exist anymore. No HOA. No neighbors in your sightline. No compromise. 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 total privacy. The primary suite and a full guest suite are on the main level. Upstairs, a media room and three additional bedrooms. The terrace level offers a complete living area, bedroom, bath, and direct access to the pool - 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. Oconee County taxes. Athens address. Eight acres with no one telling you what to do with them. This is not a house you settle for. It's one you wait for.
