The five highest-priced home sales reported in Athens Area, Georgia for the week ending October 25, 2026, came to a combined $5.91 million. The sales were spread across five towns, Bishop, Statham, Colbert, Athens and Watkinsville, and four counties, with two of them in Oconee County.
The list runs from a home still on paper to a 1957 ranch in Athens, with acreage, a lake and a creek among the settings in between.
No. 1 — $3,089,953 · 2850 Andora Ct, Bishop, Georgia
The week’s top sale is a home that does not exist yet. The property at 2850 Andora Court in Bishop sold for $3,089,953: a level 6.44-acre site on a cul-de-sac inside the gated Andora community, with plans for a two-story brick residence.
The plans call for five bedrooms, four full baths and a half bath in 4,500 square feet. Three of the bedrooms are planned for the main level, and the primary suite is on that level too. The design includes beamed and vaulted ceilings, a wet bar, two fireplaces, walk-in closets and custom cabinetry.
Much of the planning went into the outdoors. A 20-by-40-foot pool is to sit at the center, with a covered porch of about 1,200 square feet looking out over the pool and the grounds beyond it, and an outdoor kitchen for cooking and entertaining.
The property went under contract the same day it was listed and sold for $42,737 more than its asking price of $3.05 million. Madison Thompson of Ansley RE|Christie’s Int’l RE was the listing agent.

No. 2 — $803,000 · 2007 Tallassee Rd, Statham, Georgia
At 2007 Tallassee Road in Statham, the land is the story. The home sits on 8.02 private acres, the largest lot in this week’s group, behind a gated entrance with fencing that runs the full length of the property. The land includes pasture, and the property has a barn and other outbuildings.
The one-story Craftsman-style ranch, built in 2019, has three bedrooms, two full baths and a half bath in 2,248 square feet. A rocking-chair front porch leads to a foyer and a great room with built-in cabinetry and a fireplace trimmed in shiplap. The kitchen has granite counters, an oversized island and a walk-in pantry. The bedrooms are split, so the primary suite has a wing of its own, with a soaking tub, a tiled shower, two vanities and a large walk-in closet; the other two bedrooms share a full bath on the opposite side.
Out back, a covered patio looks onto a heated, saltwater in-ground pool and spa measuring 17 by 32 feet, set in roughly 1,200 square feet of pavers. There is also a detached workshop of 1,500 square feet with three bays, spray-foam insulation, and its own heating and cooling, with room for boats, tractors or a hobby. There is no homeowners association.
The home went under contract five days after it was listed and sold for $803,000, just above its $799,900 asking price. Jody M Swords of Southern Classic Realtors was the listing agent, and Angelica Stan of Drake Realty, Inc. represented the buyer.

No. 3 — $687,500 · 1019 Brush Creek Rd, Colbert, Georgia
In the Brush Creek community of Colbert, in Madison County, 1019 Brush Creek Road sold for $687,500. The 4.42-acre lot has access to a lake, with lake views that open up seasonally. There is no dock, and the owners have used a small boat to get onto the water and fished from the shoreline.
Built in 2005, the three-story Craftsman home has five bedrooms and five baths, four full and one half, in 3,483 square feet. The primary suite is on the main level, along with hardwood floors, a living room, a separate den, a formal dining room and a kitchen with a breakfast nook. Four more bedrooms and two full baths are upstairs.
The daylight lower level works almost as a second home, with its own full kitchen, living room and full bath, plus unfinished space for storage or a gym. A side garage door opens into the basement for a utility vehicle. A front porch faces a manicured lawn, while the back has a main-level deck and a covered lower patio that opens onto a broad concrete entertaining area. The back yard is fenced. A detached carport is used for a pontoon boat and a mower.
The property last sold for $60,000 in 2005. This time it went under contract five days after it was listed and sold for $7,500 above its $680,000 asking price. Skye Haney of Hammock Realty North Georgia was the listing agent, and Scott E Nichols of Coldwell Banker Upchurch Realty represented the buyer.

The one-story home has six bedrooms, the most of the five, along with three full baths in 2,944 square feet on a level 0.46-acre lot. Hardwood floors and high ceilings run through it, and the plan is laid out for roommates or several generations living together, with more than one living area and two kitchens. There is a back deck, and the lot is private.

No. 5 — $660,000 · 1880 Sycamore Cir, Watkinsville, Georgia
At 1880 Sycamore Circle in the Willow Creek neighborhood of Watkinsville, the view from the kitchen island is of woods. The two-story traditional home, a Lennar Fairmont plan built in 2025, sits on a 0.34-acre lot on a creek and has five bedrooms, three full baths and a half bath in 2,932 square feet. Below it is a full unfinished basement of about 2,900 square feet with its own outside entry.
The owners spent the first year changing it. Designer lighting went in throughout, from a chandelier in the dining room to pendants over the island and a living room fixture that needed scaffolding to hang. The half bath was redone with a new vanity and wallpaper, and the windows got custom Roman shades. Outside, zoysia grass now covers the front, sides and back, the backyard was pushed out nearly 30 feet, ornamental iron fencing with gates opens to a cleared wooded buffer, and the lower patio was enlarged to fill the covered area under the deck.
The home is within walking distance of the neighborhood pool, clubhouse and pickleball courts, and a short drive from Butlers Crossing, Oconee Veterans Park and Herman C. Michael Park.
The property last sold for $611,250 in 2025. It went under contract five days after it was listed and sold for $660,000, $10,000 above its asking price. Allen Seigler of Greater Athens Properties was the listing agent, and James W Thaxton of Coldwell Banker Upchurch Realty represented the buyer.
