Warning: touring this property may cause a sudden urge to cultivate a chicken habit that could quickly become an addiction. Some people buy a house, some people buy a lifestyle with a very opinionated barn and chicken coop. This 2.63 acre level homestead in Watkinsville delivers two homes, three fenced pastures, an 80x30 barn, and an orchard/garden that treats food like a group project. The renovated 3 bed, 2 bath main house features an open kitchen, oak wood floors, all electric appliances, a separate laundry room, a living room chimney ready for a freestanding stove, newer HVAC, a brand new metal roof, and a freshly poured side porch. Out back, the 1 bed, 1 bath guest house, finished in 2020, offers a metal roof, a screen ready large porch, and its own driveway, septic, and power, perfect for family, guests, a rental, an office, or just hiding. The barn has water and power for storage, shop space, or every project you swear you'll finish. No renovation required: the pastures are fenced and ready for your own chickens, goats, rabbits, or cows (animals not included), and the blueberries, figs, apples, pears, pecans, cherries, muscadines, hazelnuts, and thornless blackberries are already growing. Also important to note is the 600 foot deep well, freeze proof spigots, minutes from Watkinsville, and an easy drive to Athens. Schedule your showing before someone else claims it.

Set on a waterfront lot in Jennings Mill, this four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath brick traditional gives you a backyard most people only get on vacation. Manicured landscaping and mature trees frame a paver walkway to the front door, arriving at a classic brick facade with true curb appeal. Beyond the house, the backyard opens into lush gardens, with stone paths winding along the water's edge and tracing the shoreline past a wrought-iron-fenced terrace, where a fountain runs across the lake and the far shore stays wooded and quiet. It's the rare in-town setting where you can sit on Spanish terracotta tile in a screened porch — ceiling fans turning, stained glass overhead — and actually hear the water instead of a neighbor's television. Inside, the kitchen has been freshly painted with new countertops, all working around the original glass-front cabinetry and hardwood floors. It opens straight to a breakfast area with garden views and to the main living spaces beyond — a formal living room centered on a brick fireplace, a sitting room, and a two-story foyer with a staircase that sets the tone the moment you walk in. This is a house for anyone who wants room to spread out — hosting, working from home, weekends with family or friends — without giving up walkability to Jennings Mill's pool, tennis, and golf, or an easy drive into town. Four bedrooms upstairs, three and a half baths throughout, and a lake view that changes with the season. Welcome home to Millers Lake.
