Description

This 1950's 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom brick ranch with a metal roof, double-sided gas fireplace, separate dining and living room adds character and charm to a property that once was a working farm with barns, chicken houses, and additional storage options. It provides opportunities for various agricultural or hobby farming activities, or you can convert these spaces into workshops or storage areas.

It provides opportunities for various agricultural or hobby farming activities, or you can convert these spaces into workshops or storage areas. The older turn-of-the-century home from the 1890s could be a renovation project for someone who enjoys restoring historical properties to bring back to its former glory. The availability of both public water and well water provides flexibility and options for future owners. The property's convenient location makes it easily accessible to Athens, Commerce, Highway 441, and Interstate 85, which can be a significant advantage for commuting or accessing nearby amenities. The property's current zoning allows for a minimum 10-acre subdivision. However, there are opportunities to explore Agriculture Residential or Manufactured Housing rezoning, which could potentially allow for 1.5-acre parcel subdividing and the Sellers are willing to accommodate. This flexibility opens up various development possibilities. There is much potential for buyers looking for homestead lifestyle, small farm, or even development into multiple residential lots. With the combination of the existing structures, historical character, and zoning options, this property offers endless possibilities. Whether you're looking to maintain it as a working farm, develop it for residential use, or pursue other creative endeavors, there's a lot of potential to bring your dreams to life on this property. Property is currently being rezoned to AR from Small Tract Farm PCFD to make it possible to subdivide tracts into 1.5 acre tracts. First Hearing with Planning Commission was approved. Final hearing before Board of Commissioners scheduled for February 19.
