Highway 172 If you've been looking for acreage in Madison County, you will want to check out this 11.41-acre property! You really need to put boots on the ground to appreciate this parcel and its natural setting fully. Beautifully located on Hwy 172, one of my favorite roads in the area, this property features peaceful country living. The property was timbered a few years ago and has since developed a natural mix of young pines and hardwoods, creating a setting with plenty of potential. The property offers gently sloping terrain and approximately 823 feet of road frontage. The right side borders a cattle farm, hog wire fence, and tree line, while the left side adjoins another parcel that was also previously timbered and now features a new home. According to Madison County, the property may potentially be rezoned to AR and divided into two lots; however, it is currently zoned A-1. Any rezoning, subdivision, or related approvals would be the buyer's responsibility after closing. Buyers should verify all zoning and development possibilities directly with Madison County. The property offers a wonderful opportunity for a new home or potentially two, along with plenty of room for outdoor activities, exploring, recreation, or simply enjoying the peaceful country surroundings. Conveniently located near lots of small-town shopping and restaurants, as well as many area attractions and recreational destinations. Watson Mill Bridge State Park, Whispering Pines Golf Course, Broad River Outpost, and the Broad River Wildlife Management Area are all within about 12 miles. Downtown Athens, Hartwell, Hartwell Motor Speedway, and Boutier Winery LLC are within about 21 miles. Lake Russell and Lake Hartwell are nearby, approximately a 45-minute drive, and I-85 is approximately 26 miles away. Don't let this one slip away!
