Red Fox Farm is a self-sustaining, 50.5-acre riverfront cattle and equestrian estate located in Oglethorpe County, just 23 miles from Athens and the University of Georgia. This unique property blends the charm of rural living with the convenience of nearby amenities. Ideal for families seeking a slower, more intentional lifestyle without sacrificing modern comforts, it offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds.
The property features a thoughtfully designed, custom-built 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home completed in 2022 with an emphasis on energy efficiency and modern comfort. The open-concept floor plan provides a seamless flow, with the primary suite on the main level and two large upstairs bedrooms offering privacy for family or guests. Highlights include a built-in pantry, dedicated laundry room, and a charming wraparound porch perfect for enjoying peaceful views of the surrounding farm. Energy-saving features include a high-quality solar power system, total foam insulation, a wood-burning stove for heat, and high-efficiency split HVAC units designed to keep utility costs low throughout the year.
Beyond the 13 acres of fenced and cross-fenced pasture, the land offers abundant recreational opportunities for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Well-maintained walking trails wind through the mature hardwood forest, providing access to both the South Fork of the Broad River and Big Clouds Creek. With approximately 1,992 feet of frontage on the South Fork and an additional 1,630 feet along Big Clouds Creek, the property offers year-round access for kayaking, fishing, and enjoying the area’s natural beauty.
The property also borders Watson Mill Bridge State Park on two sides, which encompasses more than 1,100 acres of protected land. Renowned for its historic covered bridge spanning the shoals, the park offers additional opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, and fishing.
Whether you're dreaming of starting a sustainable homestead, raising livestock, or simply embracing the peace and freedom of wide-open spaces, this is a truly rare offering in the greater Athens area.
