Description

A Rare Find. This 3.65 acre private lake peninsula is divided into two parcels (there is actually room for 3). Free of covenants & restrictions if purchased together.


Lot 1 - $189,000.
2.4+/- acres - A 200 year old home site with numerous amenities.
Listed on the Historic register, this site commands the pinnacle of the property.

One glance from the peak of this historic home-site and you'll understand why, for over 200 years, people chose this location to call home.

The primary feature of this 2.44 acre, waterfront - green space property is the existing home site (a 200y/o field stone foundation with a bi-level fireplace), situated about 60 feet above the water. This Historic site commands an Eastern view down the 700ft driveway, and conversely experiences an expansive sunset, along with winter lake views and the privacy of deciduous trees during the summer.

Reinforcing and keeping the original foundation as facade for new construction may allow the new owner to retain Historic status.

Many existing amenities include two guest houses with separate septic systems(one in use as a store), a historic stone well, a 300ft modern drilled well, ancient cedars, a fishing shanty, a stone walled garden, fruit bearing fig and pear trees, landscaping including many varieties of flowering plants, vines and trees, a 25x50x14ft high hand-crafted cement Shop/garage with interior loading dock, green-house, and more...

Lot 2 - $126,000.
1.2 acres - an ideal solar site with an elevated Eastern view down the lake. Mown, landscaped, perk tested and ready for new construction.

This 1.201 acre, lakefront property with environmentally protected green-space will never have its long Eastern view across the lake "built up" like the waterfront of other lakes around the country. This Green-space provides for Nature at its best. Imagine a winter view across the water without ever seeing another new construction.



The climate here sees more sunny days per year than most areas on the East coast making it ideal for solar applications. Less known is that this latitude offers a full range of seasons.

From a hot summer full of lake front attractions (a no-fee boat ramp is located just across the bridge from the property),
we move into a long, balmy fall with it's kaleidoscope of colors, through a short winter (about 8 weeks) where we expect about an inch of snow around Christmas (just for effect) and the possibility of a few deep frosts.

Sunny winter afternoons warm up to about 60 degrees. Spring is early here (about the 15th of Feb.) with blossoms and green everywhere.

The micro-climate in this region is rarely more than slightly effected by Gulf storms or Atlantic coastal weather.

Active weather fronts move from west to east, and the mountains to the west provide some protection. Even so, from this vantage point on the lake, You can predict your own weather. The cloud line can be seen a long way off.

The watershed lake covenants surrounding this unique land-form on Richard B. Russell Lake, create a pristine environment for a large spectrum of wildlife and a timeless, unspoiled view with a huge sky, great sunsets and quiet, starry starry nights.

Some of the areas special features are hawks and eagles, world class bass fishing, A Marina, A local airport, three state parks, and a public golf course.

Commercial centers in order of driving times are Elberton (ten min.) Athens, Ga and Anderson, Sc (40 min.), Greenville/Spartenburg (90 min.), and Atlanta (under 2 hours).

Possible 1031 exchange.
