Property Description

Tucked between Athens and Lake Oconee in the peaceful Woodville/Union Point area of Greene County, The McWhorter Home is a rare 20-acre historic estate where timeless Southern charm and authentic character come together. Originally built in the 1800s and relocated from the Little River area to its current setting in 1861 by prominent businessman, banker, farmer, and Georgia legislator W.P. McWhorter, this remarkable four-bedroom Colonial was later restored by the original owner's great-granddaughter and still showcases exceptional Civil War-era craftsmanship, including original heart pine floors, hand-hewn timbers, handmade nails, eleven-foot ceilings, eleven fireplaces (two working), stained glass windows, and a grand winding staircase. A wide front porch with classic swings welcomes you into a home filled with warmth and history, featuring formal living and dining rooms, a cozy parlor, spacious great room, and a versatile flex space ideal for a home office, hobby room, or oversized laundry area. The kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining with an island, double ovens, and stainless steel appliances. The main-level primary suite offers comfort and privacy, while upstairs includes three additional bedrooms and a large full bath. At the rear of the home, an expansive sunroom overlooks the beautifully landscaped grounds and a 54x22 gunite saltwater pool, complete with a redwood sauna and round gunite hot tub. The detached four-car garage includes a greenhouse, workshop, full bath, and a separate three-bedroom apartment with its own kitchen, ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or potential rental income. Outside, the property offers a beautiful blend of fenced pasture, mature trees, open land, and natural beauty with a pond, flowing creek, pecan and fruit trees, muscadines, beehives, chicken coop, and even a treehouse, creating endless opportunities for horses, recreation, entertaining, or peaceful country living. Conveniently located near the Firefly Trail and Durhamtown Off Road Resort, this one-of-a-kind Greene County retreat is a true piece of local history that must be experienced in person.
