Property Description

Welcome to 1851 Rays Church Road, an exceptional 22.5-acre estate offering privacy, craftsmanship, and remarkable versatility in the heart of Oconee County. Thoughtfully positioned toward the rear of the property, the custom cottage-style residence enjoys a peaceful setting that feels worlds away, yet remains convenient to Watkinsville, Athens, the University of Georgia, area schools, shopping, and major routes to Atlanta. With no HOA or restrictive covenants, this unique property offers space and flexibility increasingly difficult to find in Oconee County. Inside, quality craftsmanship and distinctive materials create a home with warmth, character, and a story of its own. Hardwood floors, tiled bathrooms, upgraded fixtures, and Chicago brick flooring in the foyer and kitchen are complemented by reclaimed wood in casement trim, the butler's pantry, laundry areas, and other details throughout the home. Reclaimed materials were sourced from several historic properties, including Athens' former Coca-Cola/Bottleworks property and the historic William Skinner home associated with George Washington's 1791 travels through Georgia. The chef's kitchen features Viking appliances and flows naturally into the home's generous living and entertaining spaces. The main level features four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms, while upstairs has two additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The finished basement adds tremendous flexibility with a large recreation/family room, partially finished kitchenette, full bathroom, additional office or bedroom option, and second laundry area—creating excellent possibilities for guests, extended stays, recreation, or additional living space. Outdoor living may be where this property leaves its greatest impression. An expansive screened porch overlooks the wooded landscape and peaceful creek, creating a setting reminiscent of a mountain retreat tucked among the trees. A separate one-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath guest cottage adds another layer of flexibility. The property also includes a 30x40 metal shop with a finished shiplap office and half bath, a rolling fenced pasture, and a two-stall horse barn. From the custom residence and historic materials to the guest cottage, workshop, pasture, creek, and wooded acreage, 1851 Rays Church Road offers a rare opportunity to create a lifestyle uniquely your own. Bring the animals, plant the garden, enjoy the land, and experience the privacy of a true country estate—all from a convenient Oconee County location.
