A 13.73-acre unimproved land in Athens.

Introducing Lot 5 of Ansel Acres, a 13.73-acre tract set in the peaceful countryside of Jackson County, offering a beautiful blend of mature hardwoods and a thoughtfully cleared homesite. This property provides a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and ready-to-build convenience, with a designated homesite that captures scenic views of the surrounding landscape. The majority of the tract is covered in hardwoods, creating a serene, wooded setting that offers both shade and a sense of seclusion. The cleared area provides an ideal location to begin building immediately while still enjoying the character and tranquility of the natural surroundings. This homesite strikes the perfect balance between usable space and a private, estate-like feel. Located just a short drive from the University of Georgia and Downtown Athens, the property also offers convenient access to Highways 129 and 441 and is less than 20 minutes from Interstate 85, making commuting and travel simple while maintaining a peaceful rural setting. A newly recorded survey is in place with clearly marked property lines and corners, and the tract has completed perc testing suitable for a conventional septic system—providing confidence and readiness for your future build. As part of the newly released Ansel Acres development, Lot 5 is one of 15 available parcels, with adjoining acreage available for those seeking additional space, increased privacy, or the opportunity to create a family compound. Future growth in the area adds even more appeal, with a new county park planned just minutes away at the corner of Highway 129 and New Kings Bridge Road, expected to feature walking trails, a splash pad, soccer fields, pickleball courts, and other recreational amenities.
