1800 Simonton Bridge Road, Watkinsville, GA 30677

$1,150,000

Welcome to 1800 Simonton Bridge Road, a truly rare offering featuring nearly 8 acres of pristine property just over one mile from downtown Watkinsville and less than 10 minutes from the University of Georgia. Ideally located less than half a mile from Thomas Farms Park and under a mile from… Read More Wire Park, this exceptional property combines the charm of country living with unmatched proximity to some of Oconee County’s most sought-after destinations. Originally built in 1922, the main residence offers timeless character and generous living space across two levels. Constructed in part from stone sourced directly from the property, the home reflects a rich sense of history and craftsmanship. With five bedrooms and five bathrooms, the layout includes a formal dining room, a breakfast area off the kitchen with a wood-burning stove, a spacious laundry/mud room, and multiple living areas. The front living room provides a welcoming entry, while the expansive rear living room showcases a massive fireplace and offers incredible flexibility—ideal as a grand gathering space or potential guest quarters. A wraparound screened porch overlooking the koi and goldfish pond provides a perfect place to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. Upstairs, a charming attic-style space leads to an additional bedroom and full bathroom. The land itself is truly extraordinary. Spanning approximately 7.7 acres, the property is beautifully maintained and thoughtfully improved with fenced pasture, mature hardwoods, and a wide variety of established plantings offering a year-round show. A tranquil koi and goldfish pond with a water feature anchors the landscape, where a natural granite formation emerges at the head of a fieldstone-lined stream. Additional improvements include a large three-stall pole barn, equipment shed, chicken coop, livestock shelter, and approximately four acres of fenced pasture. A well-established and irrigated garden area with solar power and water has supported a wide variety of crops, while the property’s extensive collection of fruit trees—including apple, fig, peach, pear, plum, nectarine, and blueberry—creates a productive and picturesque setting. Pecan, black walnut, and chestnut trees further enhance the landscape. The grounds reflect decades of thoughtful cultivation, with seasonal color and texture throughout—from daffodils and azaleas to camellias, crepe myrtles, and gardenias—creating a setting that is both curated and naturally beautiful. An old historic county road along the property also presents the potential for an additional access point from Simonton Bridge Road. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a truly special property that blends acreage, history, functionality, and an irreplaceable setting—right in the heart of Watkinsville. Read Less
