As you arrive, the view is picture-perfect: a peaceful 30ft deep pond to your left, cattle grazing in the pasture to your right, and a cozy home nestled among the trees waiting at the end of the drive.

Tucked away down a private driveway, this 10.09 acre property offers more than just land, it offers a lifestyle. As you arrive, the view is picture-perfect: a peaceful 30ft deep pond to your left, cattle grazing in the pasture to your right, and a cozy home nestled among the trees waiting at the end of the drive. The 2-bedroom, 1-bath home welcomes you with warm character and comfortable spaces designed for everyday living. A wood-burning stove anchors the family room, creating the perfect spot to gather on cool evenings, while a separate den offers a quiet retreat to unwind. Freshly painted living spaces feel bright and inviting, and the expansive deck stretching the length of the home invites you to slow down and take in the sweeping views of lush pasture, mature trees, and the creek flowing from the pond. Downstairs, the full basement adds even more flexibility with three additional rooms with closets, a second bathroom, laundry space, and a large gathering area, making it ideal for guests, hobbies, or creating the space that fits your lifestyle. Step outside and experience the freedom of country living. With multiple fenced acres and a detached workshop, there's room for horses, cows, goats, or whatever farm life inspires. Whether it's morning coffee on the deck, evenings watching the sunset over the pasture, or working in the barn, every day feels connected to the land. But what makes this property truly special is the opportunity it offers. Situated on the adjacent second parcel is a fully operating quail farm, featuring two 36' x 400' quail houses and a reliable production schedule with seven crops per year under contract with Quail International. With a brand-new 300-foot well, a secondary well, and the infrastructure already in place, this working farm blends tradition with a dependable agricultural income stream. The quail farm is listed separately. Here, life moves at a different pace, one where you can enjoy the beauty of rural living while running a working farm-to-table operation but less than 30 minutes to retail and dining in Commerce or Athens. Whether you're dreaming of expanding a farming venture, creating a homestead, or simply embracing the peace and privacy of country life, this property offers the rare chance to live, work, and grow all in one place.
