Property Description
Step into timeless elegance with this stunning Southern beauty, a historic Southern Colonial estate in Lavonia, GA offering over 20 acres of usable land, multiple road frontages, and unmatched flexibility for residential, commercial, or investment use. Originally built in 1895, this home is rich in Southern charm, featuring grand columns, a stately front porch, and classic architectural details that create a true sense of arrival. The main residence offers 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and over 5,000 square feet, filled with character, spacious living areas, and the warmth only a historic home can provide. Office on Main floor could be used as a 5th bedroom. From relaxing on the expansive front porch to enjoying the peaceful surroundings, this property captures the essence of gracious Southern living. Surrounded by a beautiful mix of pasture, wooded acreage, and open land, the property offers both privacy and functionality. A standout feature is the front 9 acre tract currently being rezoned to B-2 commercial, providing road frontage on side street and Hartwell Road (Hwy 77)-ideal for retail, office, restaurant, event space or service-based business opportunities. The remaining acreage features additional road frontage and endless potential, perfect for a private estate, event venue, Airbnb investment, or future development. With the option to purchase sections separately, this property presents a rare chance to live, invest, and develop all in one location. Conveniently located just minutes from I-85, Lake Hartwell, downtown Lavonia, and a short drive to Hartwell, Toccoa, and Anderson, SC, you'll enjoy the perfect balance of Southern tranquility and accessibility. Whether you are searching for a legacy property, income-producing opportunity, or a one-of-a-kind Southern estate, 215 Hartwell Rd delivers it all.
