Rare 8.36-acre RS-8 tract inside Athens-Clarke County that backs directly to the State Botanical Garden of Georgia. Tucked off South Milledge in a quiet, wooded pocket of Clarke County, this property offers real privacy while sitting minutes from UGA and downtown Athens. Rolling topography across most of the land creates multiple building spots, many tucked away where you may not see another structure at all. A large creek winds through the property, setting apart a roughly 3-acre wooded parcel at the rear that shares its property line with the Botanical Garden. On the far side of the creek, a big hill rises to a standout homesite up high, with protected green space behind it. Its a natural fit for a private estate, a family compound, or a small builder community. RS-8 zoning gives you options: split into 2 lots with little effort, 3 lots with some additional work, or explore a larger single-family development through the Athens-Clarke County Planning Department. Sewer is available on the neighboring property; contact the listing agent for connection cost details. A new survey and soil test have been ordered. Close-in lots with this kind of flexibility are increasingly hard to find in Athens. The location is hard to beat. The property sits right behind UGAs Jack Turner softball and soccer complex, across from the brand-new UGA Track and Field Complex, which is open to the public for walking and running. The Botanical Garden entrance is less than a mile away, with trails and gardens to explore. Whether youre a builder looking for a close-in Athens opportunity or a buyer ready to build a private retreat surrounded by nature, this one is worth walking. Contact the listing agent for survey, soil, and sewer details as they become available.

1930 New Jimmie Daniel Road, Athens
$1,800,000
10850464 MLS
Property Description: This 6-acre parcel is located along New Jimmie Daniel Road near its intersection with Jennings Mill Parkway in west Athens, with frontage along New Jimmie Daniel Road. The site was rezoned from Employment-Industrial (E-I) to RM-2 (Mixed Density Residential), which allows for 24 units (bedrooms) per acre. Athens-Clarke County water and sanitary sewer are both available to the site. With the rezoning already in place, the property is positioned for a buyer to move directly into site development rather than starting the entitlement process from scratch. Location Description: 1930 New Jimmie Daniel Road is under half a mile from Atlanta Highway's shopping and dining and about 3 miles from Epps Bridge Centre. GA-316 is just over a mile away, putting the site within easy reach of both GA-316 and US-78. Downtown Athens and the University of Georgia are roughly 13 minutes out, with Piedmont Oconee Medical Campus and Downtown Watkinsville also nearby.
