A Wraparound Porch With Grazing Cattle Next Door
$318,000 Ripe for Reimagining
Near Union Point, in Greene County — 5.35 acres of Georgia homestead land, roughly halfway between Athens and Augusta.
A wraparound covered porch runs most of the length of the house, the kind of outdoor space built for morning coffee or evening company, with open acreage views on every side. Being built in 2013 means the systems are newer than most fixer-uppers get — this is a cosmetic project, not a structural one: interior paint, landscaping, and deck refinishing are the main asks, with new flooring already underway in parts of the house. A wood stove insert in the living room fireplace is ready to go for winter heat. 3 bd plus an office, 2.5 ba, 1,936 sq ft, built 2013, on 5.35 acres.
Listed at $318,000, sold as-is, with a recent $7K price cut. Listing courtesy of Donna Tyson Blanton, Redeemer Realty.
Homestead Potential
Water & Infrastructure
No pond or creek comes with this one — the water story here is whatever the well and septic can offer, and both are worth a direct inspection before closing rather than taking on faith from an as-is listing.
Crop & Income Potential
The cleared acreage is pasture, not row crops, and Greene County's stretch of the Georgia Piedmont leans toward cattle grazing on land just like this — the fenced pasture next door, cows and all, is a good preview of what the acreage can support.
Sustainability
New flooring already going in and a wood stove insert already installed both count as real progress, not just potential. Budget for paint, landscaping, and deck refinishing rather than anything structural — that's the actual gap between this house and move-in ready.
The Boundaries
An as-is sale on 5.35 acres means the inspection does real work here — walk the fence lines and gate at the back of the property against a current survey before you assume where the boundary actually sits, especially with wooded edges on more than one side.
Beyond the Property Line
Local Flavor & Small-Town Character
Union Point grew up as a 19th-century railroad junction town in Greene County, and nearby Greensboro, the county seat, has built a busy second identity around Lake Oconee's resort and golf communities just a short drive away.
Agricultural Resources & Neighbor Networks
The University of Georgia Cooperative Extension office for Greene County offers research-based guidance on pasture management, cattle, and home horticulture, useful for anyone picking up where the neighboring grazing land leaves off.
Outdoor Recreation & Natural Surroundings
Lake Oconee, one of Georgia's largest reservoirs, is a short drive away with boating, fishing, and golf, and Athens — home to the University of Georgia — is close enough for a day trip's worth of restaurants, music, and college-town energy.
