Why Live in Worthville
People often move to Butts County to get out of Atlanta and its congested suburbs. Worthville, a community covering the northern end of the county and the western shoreline of Jackson Lake, has an added appeal, says Kim Freshwater, an agent at Century 21 Crowe Realty and a county resident. “The lake is a whole different thing,” she says. “It’s a getaway. You have people who live there full time and seasonal residents.” There’s plenty of open water in the 4,750-acre lake for motorboats to cruise, while narrow inlets provide tucked-away fishing spots. Worthville residents enjoy lake recreation and a rural setting that’s 50 miles from downtown Atlanta. Homes are more common near Jackson Lake, where subdivisions of ranches and bungalows, along with custom houses, were built on or near the shoreline. To the west, homes lack lake access, but they tend to be newer, with nearly half built since 2000. Across Worthville, houses usually come with spacious properties; the median lot size is about an acre. Prices generally vary from $225,000 to $645,000. However, large lakefront houses can sell between $675,000 and $1.8 million.
