About this home
4 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 2,400 square foot brick ranch sitting on 69.78 acres hosting a 23-acre lake located at 161 Mount Bethel Road, Commerce, GA. Just 2.5 miles from Banks Crossing and I-85, 4 miles from Commerce and less than 30 minutes from Athens. This is one of those properties that is hard to duplicate. Located in an ideal setting that still feels like old Banks County, you get the rural charm, privacy and recreational lifestyle of the country while still having the modern amenities and convenience folks are looking for. You are just minutes from I-85 and all the shopping, dining and conveniences Banks Crossing has to offer. Built in 2002, the home is a well-maintained four-sided brick ranch featuring a split-bedroom floor plan. The entrance foyer opens into a large vaulted family room overlooking the screened-in back porch. Three bedrooms are located off the family room side of the home with a full bathroom, making a great setup for kids, company or a home office. The master bedroom offers a wide doorway for wheelchair accessibility, a spacious walk-in closet and private ensuite with a tub/shower combination. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, an electric cooktop and wall oven. A large walk-in crawl space houses the home's mechanical systems while also providing plenty of additional storage. What truly separates this property from the market is the 23-acre private lake. The lake was intentionally constructed for slalom water skiing and includes a concrete boat ramp, covered dock and large wet slip. Whether you want to ski, fish, hunt waterfowl and deer without having to leave your home place or simply enjoy the water, this lake offers something you just don't find on the average property. The lake is stocked with bass, catfish, crappie and a healthy population of bream. The backwaters also provide top-quality waterfowl habitat, with wood ducks and mallards regularly using and roosting on the property. Add in an abundance of deer calling the property home and you have a true recreational paradise right outside your back door. At the west end of the lake is a small island offering some of the best sunset views on the property. A stationary dock with one slip and a covered dock area sits adjacent to the concrete boat ramp, giving you a great place to keep the boat, fish, cook out or spend an afternoon with family and friends. The home and lake improvements have been well maintained and are ready for the next owner to make their own personal updates and start enjoying the property the day you buy it! Location is another major advantage. You can enjoy nearly 70 acres and your own 23-acre lake while being only 2.5 miles from Banks Crossing and I-85. Shopping, restaurants and everyday conveniences are just minutes away. Athens is less than 30 minutes away for UGA game-day weekends, and you're within an easy drive of the North Georgia mountains, wineries and Metro Atlanta. - this property is truly one of a kind. You will not find many properties in this market that offer this combination of land, water, recreation and location. Reach out to the listing agent today to schedule a private ATV driven tour today.
