5-Bedroom Estate on 2.18 Acres with Saltwater Pool & Workshop
What first captures attention at 422 Yaun Road is scale and utility: more than two acres of level, professionally landscaped yard anchored by a saltwater pool and a fully insulated 40' x 45' workshop with its own bathroom and separate septic. This 2023-built estate in Franklin Branch Overlook balances modern construction and practical spaces — ideal for families, hobbyists, or small-business owners who need real workspace on the same parcel as their home.
Inside, 3,104 square feet are finished with durable hardwood floors and thoughtful tile in wet areas. The open family room centers on a fireplace and flows toward a kitchen outfitted with granite countertops and generous prep surfaces. A second fireplace in the owner's suite creates a private sitting area; the suite itself and the additional bedrooms are sized to accommodate both restful nights and flexible home-office setups. Throughout you’ll find brick-and-Hardi plank construction, central air, natural gas heat, and contemporary finishes consistent with a home only a few years old.
Outdoors is where this property becomes rare for North Augusta: 186 feet of frontage on Yaun Road, ample lawn for play or garden beds, and that saltwater pool for low-maintenance summer living. The detached workshop (designed with insulation and systems in mind) offers a three-car footprint for equipment, projects, or business storage — a feature that materially expands the home's utility beyond typical suburban offerings.
Practical systems round out the package: an attached two-car garage, public water, natural gas, central heating/air, and septic service. The neighborhood location keeps you connected — Ascauga Lake Road and I-20 are minutes away, Augusta Mall and city services are within a short drive, and the Savannah River sits nearby for weekend recreation. With recent nearby sales and an appraisal-informed valuation centered near $700,000, this property sits at the intersection of modern convenience, private acreage, and flexible, high-value ancillary space.

Residents enjoy quick access to Ascauga Lake Road and I-20 for commutes to Augusta and regional shopping at Augusta Mall. Schools in the Aiken County district score at or above local averages, and the Savannah River is minutes away for boating, fishing, and riverside trails.

Good regional recreation access with the Savannah River about 6 miles away, neighborhood green spaces for daily walks, and several golf and outdoor activity options within a 10-mile drive.
A factual market snapshot around 422 Yaun Rd.
The Franklin Branch Overlook micro-market currently reads as balanced with pockets of demand for well-appointed single-family estates. Area metrics: median sale price in the broader market sits near $450,000, inventory is tight at roughly 2.5 months, and average days on market are about 45 — a pace that favors sellers for standout homes but still allows buyers time to evaluate. Recent nearby sales (multiple homes on Yaun Road sold in the $579K–$584K range) demonstrate healthy appetite; however, the subject property's larger lot, pool, and 40'x45' workshop drive the valuation estimate higher (midpoint ~$700,000). One-year appreciation is roughly 5% with five-year appreciation near 25%, indicating steady long-term growth. For buyers: competitive but not overheated conditions mean quality properties priced appropriately move efficiently. For sellers: this is an advantageous time to list unique, turnkey estates that offer functional outbuildings or acreage. Rental demand for similar 5BR homes is strong — estimated market rent near $3,500/mo — offering alternative income strategies as well.
