550 Fortson Road | Athens, Georgia
Tucked beneath a canopy of mature pines just minutes from Five Points and the University of Georgia, 550 Fortson Road feels more like a private woodland retreat than an in-town property.
Set on nearly .70 acres, this 5-bedroom, 3-bath home offers 2,892 square feet of warmth, flexibility, and character — with multiple living spaces designed for both gathering and quiet retreat.
Natural light pours into the home, while expansive windows frame peaceful views of the surrounding landscape. A spacious deck and koi pond create a setting that feels serene, secluded, and distinctly Athens.
The private guest wing with kitchenette offers endless flexibility for visitors, creative space, work-from-home living, or multigenerational needs.
Rarely does a property combine this level of privacy, mature landscaping, and convenience to Five Points, Beechwood, and UGA.
550 Fortson Road is not simply a home — it’s an atmosphere.
