About 1275 Tallassee Rd

Offered as-is, this one-of-a-kind property on over 3 acres is brimming with potential—the perfect canvas for your grand estate vision complete with circular driveway. Designed and built in 1977 by a local artist-architect, this home is truly the last of its kind in Athens. With soaring ceilings, dramatic architectural lines, and creative nooks throughout, it awaits a discerning buyer ready to restore and transform it into one of the city's most distinctive residences. The main home features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, including a spacious primary suite with its own private balcony retreat. A light-filled entry room with a lofted ceiling adds an airy welcome, while an attached studio suite with private entrance, closet, and half bath offers ideal flex space for guests, creative work, or home business. The gourmet kitchen includes a premium LG French-door refrigerator, brand-new Samsung dishwasher, and top-of-the-line Samsung washer/dryer (please note: stove not included). The layout and bones are here—ready for your personal upgrades. Outside, nature and artistry intertwine: mature native trees, fruiting figs, azaleas, and wisteria- and grapevine-covered pergolas create a lush, storybook atmosphere. Easy access to the Loop, Oconee Connector, and just 12–15 minutes to downtown Athens. You're also minutes away from Burney-Harris-Lyons Middle School, the Waseca Montessori school, and key commuter routes—making this both a private retreat and a connected haven. Located just 7 minutes from the brand-new Oak Grove shopping center, home to the recently opened Publix, dining options, and other daily conveniences—making errands and grocery runs quick and easy without sacrificing your sense of seclusion.
