5.25 private acres! This home feels like a forested mountain retreat nestled in the heart of Athens. Surrounded by lush greenery, mature hardwoods, and buffered by the UGA Whitehall Forest, 150 Hidden Hills Lane sits on 2.23 acres, with an adjoining 3.02-acre lot included in the sale (140 Hidden Hills Ln), providing future possibility and genuine quiet that is getting increasingly harder to find this close to town.
The home blends seamlessly into its surroundings with a metal roof, natural wood exterior, and forest views from every window. The property is a gardener's delight with a deer-proofed area featuring established blueberry bushes, muscadine vines and figs, along with five raised beds ready for planting. With no neighbors in sight, this modern cabin in the woods feels immersive and peaceful while still being conveniently located to Athens’ hotspots. In 2017, the current owners added a full-size laundry room, mudroom, and a sunroom with floor-to-ceiling windows. In 2020, hardwood floors were installed throughout the upper level, the lower level bath was remodeled, and the primary bedroom balcony was extended. The layout offers 3,000 sq ft of distinct spaces for living and working, including a finished lower level bedroom and bath. Hardwood and tile floors run throughout. Mini split systems and a tankless water heater keep comfort handled year-round. A wood burning stove anchors the main living area, inviting long nights of conversation and music. Three bedrooms are located upstairs. The primary features three closets and a private balcony ideal for morning meditation or stargazing after dark. A lofted nook above one of the secondary bedrooms adds a playful bonus space. Hidden Hills puts nature at your doorstep and everyday conveniences just minutes away. The Botanical Gardens and Thomas Farm Preserve are right around the corner, and the UGA Veterinary Teaching Hospital is practically a neighbor. Come see why Hidden Hills is one of Athens’ best-kept secrets.
