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.

Hidden beneath a canopy of mature hardwoods on four private acres along the Middle Oconee River, this is one of Athens' rarest opportunities. Tucked away in the heart of Five Points, the property feels like a private estate miles from town while remaining just minutes from everything that makes Athens special. From the moment you step through the column-lined foyer, soaring ceilings, walls of windows, and custom built-ins create an unforgettable first impression. Natural light pours into the main living area, where a gas log fireplace anchors the space and double doors open onto an expansive deck overlooking the peaceful backyard and the river beyond. Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, the open flow between the living and dining rooms invites everything from holiday gatherings to quiet evenings at home. The beautifully appointed kitchen is equally suited for hosting a crowd or enjoying a slow Saturday morning. An oversized island, commercial-sized refrigerator, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, tile backsplash, and a sunny breakfast nook make it the true heart of the home. The main-level owner's suite offers a peaceful retreat with private deck access, a spacious walk-in closet with custom built-ins, and a luxurious en-suite bath. With six bedrooms and four full bathrooms, the flexible floor plan easily accommodates family, guests, or work-from-home needs. Downstairs, the finished terrace level creates an exceptional opportunity for multigenerational living, extended guests, or long-term flexibility. Complete with its own kitchen, living area featuring a brick wood-burning fireplace, three additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and walkout access to a patio already framed for the possibility of a future screened porch, the lower level functions as a home within the home. Properties like this are rarely available in Five Points. Whether you envision creating lasting family memories, entertaining on a grand scale, or simply enjoying the peace and privacy of a riverfront setting, this property offers a lifestyle that is nearly impossible to replicate. The value here extends far beyond the home itself. Opportunities to own four private acres with Middle Oconee River frontage in the heart of Five Points are exceptionally rare. Whether you choose to simply enjoy the home's timeless character or thoughtfully tailor it to your own style over the years, this is a property with lasting significance.

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.
