50-acre equestrian retreat
Just on the edge of Athens, GA, you'll find an equestrian estate so picturesque, and so thoughtfully laid out, it's like a retreat for both horses and humans. This 50 acre farm features 2 incredible homes and a recently expanded and updated BARN with 23 matted stalls, 3 tack rooms, a feed room, hay room w/exterior access, hot/cold wash racks, grooming bays, a drive-up farrier bay, laundry facilities, and a storage area for blankets and equipment - everything needed for the comfort of horses and their riders. Two additional stalls are separated from the main barn and are nicely set up for rehab, quarantine, or other special needs. Adjoining the stables, you'll find a 106' x 210' ARENA that's fully irrigated and offers a premium blend of M10, fiber, and rubber footing; a 50' mirrored wall, sound system, lovely hedge fence, and a viewing gazebo. Shade trees and lush landscaping surround the arena to create a riding environment that's as beautiful as it is functional. The arena's new LED lighting system and path lighting are just what you need when daylight hours are shorter, or to beat the summer heat with an early morning ride. There's also a 50' ROUND PEN just outside of the arena, and an RV pad with hookups right behind the barn. On the opposite end of the barn is a EQUIPMENT BARN with a workshop area, trailer parking, and enclosed storage for shavings. 15 large and lush PASTURES have water and run-in shelter or shade, and riders have access to more than 15 acres of BRIDLE PATHS that meander through the woods and along the year-round creek that flows through the property. The horse amenities are rounded out by a peaceful, grass JUMP FIELD along the banks of the creek, with shade trees and direct access to the extensive riding trails. When you're not out riding on this spectacular property, there are two inviting and architecturally interesting homes where you'll enjoy spending time. Nestled in a lush natural landscape
