Totaling over two acres, 1520 Colham Ferry is situated on the back side of Bell Lake just outside downtown Watkinsville and right beside Colham Ferry Elementary school.

As you enter the property through the electric gate, you will find there is a circular driveway with a large front porch giving the house a low county feel.

It is also just down the street from 441 and of course just minutes away from Athens. While the location is hard to beat, the property also feels private and secluded. As you enter the property through the electric gate, you will find there is a circular driveway with a large front porch giving the house a low county feel. The home faces a wooded setting in the front and has view of Bell Lake in the back. Inside the home, you will find ample space on each floor including a partially finished basement. On the main level, there is an office/study, formal dining room, two story great room, a large eat-in kitchen overlooking the lake. A spacious laundry and mud area, screened porch, and grilling deck. The owner's suite is also on the main level with double sinks, a walk-in shower and garden tub. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and two baths with a balcony overlooking the downstairs and a bonus room attached to one bedroom that is ideal for a playroom or rec room. Downstairs the basement is large and partially finished with another bedroom and full bath. There is ample storage in the unfinished area and a large workshop with a garage door which is accessible from the backyard. This property offers a new owner a convenient location in a private setting. Please note at this time the lake is NOT owned in part by the seller and is for view only.
