Property Description

Oconee Preserve is a +/- 197.12 Acre Conservation Tract located in Oconee County; GA. Oconee Preserve is ideal for a conservation minded buyer looking for a conveniently located reasonably priced property in Oconee County.

This 197-acre parcel features a mature hardwood forest, including a variety of species such as white oak, red oak, hickory, and beech, among others. The unique upland and bottomland hardwood habitats, along with the three creeks, were the primary reasons for placing the property under easement, guaranteeing its protection for future generations. The easement allows for two building envelopes of up to two acres each: 1-Residential and 1-Pole Barn/Shed.
Being that the property is in a conservation easement, many activities are allowed and encouraged to promote healthy forests and wildlife habitats.

– 1 Wildlife Food Plots/Openings
– Trails for walking, bicycling and trail riding.

Access is off Old Barnett Shoals Road via a private asphalt driveway that runs through the property.

An electronic gate at the entrance requires all showings to be scheduled with the listing agent.
