Property Description
Search no more... your escape to a life well lived awaits! Peaceful tranquility, no traffic, no noise and over a hundred acres to explore. This rural gem could be used for corporate retreats, wedding venues, or family gatherings, as it is now. The descendants of Stephen Heard, Revolutionary war hero and Georgia's first governor, are looking for someone to take over the reigns of this sculpted and loved property. Upon entering the farm through a security gate, you immediately notice the well manicured pastures. Up the winding private drive, past a stand of towering pines, you see the large modern farmhouse on the high point of the property, surrounded by mature landscaping and trees. It is hard to believe that an airport and bustling town are only minutes away. Designed to be a respite for multiple families, the house boasts a kitchen to make any home chef swoon, seven bedrooms and five full bathrooms with numerous visiting areas. The house was intentionally planned for large gatherings and entertaining friends and family. Host an old-fashioned BBQ at the brick BBQ pit with smoked oysters and pulled pork while guests relax under the adjacent cedar pavilion, sitting by the outdoor fireplace. The front porch is the perfect place to enjoy a cool beverage while surveying the open landscape under the pines and listening to the Bobwhite quail or watching the abundant wildlife. Eat dinner on the screened-in porch while enjoying the evening breeze and the symphony of spring peepers. After dinner, play a few games of billiards or retire under reclaimed hand-hewn beams in the towering great room in front of a dramatic stone fireplace built from fieldstone gathered on the property. The kitchen rivals any seen in the finest British Pub with a restaurant stove and large island for groups to gather. The spacious main floor master bedroom and bath are situated to capture morning sun and glorious sunrises. Off the bathroom there is a walk-in closet with many thoughtfully designed features. Next to the master suite is a large office or study with French doors. The bedroom and office make for a sanctuary away from guests and family when needed. The original house was built in 1991 with a substantial addition in 2013. The separate "wings" give some privacy when desired with nearly equal amenities in each. The farm is turn-key with a fully functioning machine shop and equipment storage shed. There is also a large metal building, built in 2012 that is currently used for storage but could be used to store cars or other toys. Touring the pastures, you'll find sturdy fencing with appropriately positioned gates intentionally designed for rotational grazing, regenerative agriculture and optimized grass production. Each pasture has access to water either through wells or creeks. Bring your cows, pigs and chickens this property is ready for your pastured livestock. Environmentally conscious stewardship of the land is evident throughout the approximately 105 acres. A meandering creek feeds the lake, which also includes a dock, two zip lines, a boat house, and nearby treehouse. The property also supports mature hardwood forest throughout. This property is a haven for resident wildlife and a stopover for many birds on the Atlantic Flyway. There is also an additional 72 acres prime pasture adjacent to the property that could be negotiable.
