Residential Land for Sale in Athens, Georgia
18 River Shoals Dr, Athens, GA 30606
One of two prime adjacent river lots in the stately and gated River Shoals Community, one of the most convenient yet private locations in town. Sellers bought both lots with the intention of building their dream home above the shoals but ended up moving out of state (we have more info on who they were working with during the building plan process so please inquire). Each lot is studded with mature hardwoods and has easy access to the river and the ever-present sounds of the expansive shoals. Both lots are part of the two private river islands just offshore (bring your camping gear!), and combined make up approx 90% ownership of the islands. Both lots have ample and fertile flatland just off the river and will easily and cheaply make an amazing playground and garden area with little in the way of larger trees and prep work to get going (just look at what the neighbors did down river for maximum inspiration). Too, this is a section of the river that is clear and cool so don't do expect a big red body of water. You will feel like you are in the mountains, but you can be at the country club in five minutes, Publix in five minutes, Normaltown and Piedmont Hospital in ten minutes (St. Mary's a few minutes more), and downtown/main campus just a little farther. Loop access is literally at the end of the main road, and gets you anywhere in Athens and beyond lickety split. Lots like these are a rare find in Athens these days so jump now. PLEASE NOTE: EACH LOT IS LISTED FOR $300,000 EACH.
