Southwest Butts Home for Rent

About a mile down the road from where cattle graze in a Butts County pasture, 3,000-square-foot homes are under construction in a new 142-home subdivision. Builders are active across Southwest Butts County, an otherwise rural swath of land 40 miles from Atlanta. The community is split by Interstate 75, a highway that commuters can take directly to their jobs in the big city. Meanwhile, the community’s pine thickets and farms stand apart from the landscape of the rapidly developing Atlanta suburbs to the north. While large, new houses are popping up in the community, they only cover a fraction of Southwest Butts County. The rest is largely natural terrain, from High Falls Lake on the south end to vineyards and berry patches on the north side. Homes vary widely, from subdivisions of ranch homes and new traditional designs on the north end to new home communities on the south side. Private docks extend from houses built on High Falls Lake, while manufactured homes are clustered around the community. Manufactured homes are priced between $100,000 and $315,000. Other houses generally sell between $200,000 and $500,000, though homes with four or more bedrooms fetch between $570,000 and
