THIS IS FOR TWO ADJACENT PARCELS AND HOMES, 2202 and 2206. This is a very rare opportunity to own an exceptional multi-use country estate just minutes from Athens yet feeling a world away. Perfectly suited for a private family compound, working farm, equestrian operation, horse boarding facility, foxhunting base, or boutique horse-focused B&B/event venue, the conveniently located Ballard Estate sits at the boundaries of Clarke, Madison, and Oglethorpe Counties. Lovingly built and improved by the current owners, both properties have been thoughtfully expanded and substantially updated through the years. The first parcel (2206) encompasses 30+ acres and features a home expanded to 5782 square feet of living space with multiple gathering areas ideal for entertaining family, guests, or even t visitors. At the heart of the home is the massive chefs kitchen anchoring the main floor. The Formal Office and Dining Room flank the foyer, leading to a Formal Parlor. The main level Owners Suite offers a spa-like retreat. Off the kitchen is a keeping room currently used as a dining area with a farm table. The oversized laundry room could serve an army. A large bonus room above the family room is ideal for a media room, guest quarters, or additional gathering space. The expansive family room spans the rear of the home and features a wet bar, lodge-style fireplace, and ample space for large celebrations and reunions. The half bath off the family room provides exterior access to the private pool and rear patio, both recently rebuilt along with the pool systems. Beyond the home, a hardscape fire ring overlooks established horse pastures. Equestrians will appreciate the fencing, cross-fencing, tack shed, dedicated well water for livestock, and ample room for a riding arena, training facility, or expanded horse operation. The surrounding acreage is equally suited for farming, hobby agriculture, livestock, or creating the ultimate homestead lifestyle. A three-bay spray foam insulated shop offers abundant storage and workspace, while the golf simulator room and adjacent full bath add even more versatility. Upstairs are four additional bedrooms, including one overlooking the fields, a semi-private en suite, and two bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath. Off the second-floor hall is a massive brick veranda overlooking the front pastures large enough to host weddings, equestrian gatherings, retreats, or special events. The adjacent parcel (2202) sits on approximately 5 acres and features a renovated 1533 square foot, 3 bed, 3 bath mobile home. With its large entertaining deck overlooking a fully stocked creek-fed pond and patio below, this residence would make an ideal guest house, caretakers residence, short-term rental, or charming B&B accommodation for visiting riders, hunters, and guests. The home includes an owners suite, guest en suite, third bedroom with hall bath access, spacious living and dining rooms, and a mudroom with deck access. The land offers a beautiful blend of open pasture, mature hardwood forest, gathering spaces, and established trails. Whether your vision includes horses, foxhunting, farming, recreation, hunting, agritourism, or a private family retreat, the possibilities are exceptional. All this and much more sits just a stones throw from Athens with convenient access through Winterville to the East Side Corridor. Please contact the listing broker for a comprehensive written property overview with additional details beyond what can fit here. This is a truly turnkey opportunity ready for summer enjoyment and for the next steward to continue building on the legacy and memories of this remarkable estate.
