$5000 towards buyers closing costs with preferred lender. Call listing agent for details. Four bedrooms, two and a half baths, on 0.77 acres in Whitlow Creek - one of Oconee County's established neighborhoods with a pool, tennis courts, and walking trails. The two-story foyer makes a good first impression - hardwood floors, wood and wrought iron staircase, crown molding throughout. The separate dining room is the right size for actual use, not just storage. The kitchen has granite countertops, a large island with seating, stainless appliances, tile backsplash, recessed lighting, and a walk-in pantry. It flows naturally into the breakfast area and family room, where a gas fireplace anchors the space. The covered cedar back porch off the rear is a real addition - not an afterthought - and gives you a place to actually be outside. All four bedrooms and the laundry room are upstairs together, which makes daily life easier than it sounds. One of the secondary bedrooms works well as a home office or flex space. The big-ticket updates are done: new roof in 2020, new back porch in 2023, fresh exterior paint in 2025. Two-car garage with exterior access door, irrigation system, security system, and an active termite bond. Wire Park, Herman C. Michael Park, and Oconee Veterans Park are all close by, along with shopping and dining.

Two homes, one extraordinary property - set on five private acres in the rolling countryside of Bishop, just minutes from Athens, 1820 Clover Lane is the kind of property that stops you before you even reach the front door. The approach says everything - a sweeping circular drive, black board fencing, manicured grounds, and a white modern farmhouse that delivers on every inch of its promise. At 4,196 square feet across four bedrooms and four and a half baths, the main residence is built for both everyday living and serious entertaining. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, a large center island with quartz countertops, double wall ovens, and a pot filler - open to a bright dining area with views across the pasture. The covered outdoor living area is exceptional: a cathedral tongue-and-groove ceiling, stone fireplace, mounted TV, and a front-row seat to the saltwater heated pool, hot tub, and the open Georgia countryside beyond. The fully detached guest house sits at the end of its own private drive and is a complete home in every sense - 1,273 square feet with two bedrooms, two full baths, a full kitchen, living room, and laundry. It has generated consistent short-term rental income with UGA-related guests, and given its proximity to the UGA Equestrian Center just around the corner, the demand is only going to grow. The barn is equally well-appointed: an RV-sized bay with electric garage door, a finished woodworking shop, and a full bathroom. A 38,000-kilowatt whole-property generator backs up both residences, the barn, and the chicken coop - nothing goes dark. The vegetable gardens, fruit trees, beehives, and chicken coop complete a property that functions as beautifully as it photographs. Bishop, Georgia - 10 minutes to Athens and private schools, top Oconee County public schools nearby, UGA campus under 20 minutes, Lake Oconee and the Ritz-Carlton 45 minutes away, and Atlanta airport 1 hour 15 minutes. Five acres, two residences, and a way of living genuinely hard to find this close to everything.
