Comments:

This has to be one of the most unique and attractive farms in southeast, GA and located very convenient to Savannah. Though time has taken its toll on the improvements, “they have great bones”. Whether your use is for cattle farming as the farm has served in the past, or a homestead close to town. There is no denying that this property has a great future as it is rapidly transitioning into a fine development opportunity.

With development adjacent and pressing at several corners, this property could be a candidate for preservation through conservation easements maintaining the property’s natural beauty and limiting the density of homes or other development.
