Land with Home for Sale in Athens, Texas

Custom Log Home on 21.72 Wooded Acres! This one-of-a-kind retreat is a true nature lover's and sportsman's paradise. The 5-acre spring-fed pond is stocked with bass and catfish, has multiple fishing docks, and has reeds that draw huge flocks of ducks every year. Trails wind through the heavily treed land, and wildlife is everywhere you look. Lovingly cared for by one family, the home's interior was built with Aspen shipped from Colorado, and its custom finishes give it the feel of a true lodge. The kitchen features granite counters and a huge walk-in pantry, and the expansive wraparound covered porch is made for slow mornings and family gatherings. Above the detached log garage sits a fully conditioned office with 5G internet and is perfect for working from home. It could easily be converted to extra living quarters. An electric gate opens onto a paved circular drive, with ample parking for guests and toys: 2 garage spaces, 3 carport spaces, and 4 additional uncovered spots. Other features include an Ag-timber exemption and a 580-ft well that reaches the aquifer. About an hour from Dallas, it works as a full-time home or a weekend getaway. Peaceful, private, and truly special! 506 sq ft office above the garage is NOT included in this square footage.
