Bath-Edie offers remote living outside Augusta, Georgia

About 30 minutes south of Downtown Augusta, Bath-Edie is a rural stretch along Route 1. The community takes its name from two historic rail stops, Bath and Edie, that once stood here. Bath was a 19th-century summer retreat for well-to-do Augustans escaping the malaria season, and the area has held onto its wide-open character ever since. Today, you can wander gardens that look straight out of a storybook, swim in a fishing hole or spend the day at a neighborhood park with playgrounds and athletic fields, all while staying within a half-hour of city conveniences.

Ellis Pond in Bath-Edie features a small waterfall and diving hole for residents to take a swim.

Bath-Edie gives homebuyers space to breathe

Because the neighborhood is rural, inventory in Bath-Edie is limited. Single-family and manufactured homes typically sit on wooded, multi-acre lots with plenty of space between their neighbors. Home prices can range from the upper $200,000s to the upper $600,000s, though many Bath-Edie residents opt for new construction. “In Bath-Edie, there is much land for sale, and people have been buying it to build their own houses,” says Ryan Kineman, a Realtor with Ray Fredricks Realty, who has sold homes throughout Richmond County and Augusta. “It's just a quiet and slow place to live.” Depending on size, plots of land can sell for about $30,000 and reach the upper $500,000s.

What to know about flooding in Bath-Edie

Much of Richmond County lies in the Middle Savannah River sub-basin, with Bath-Edie's western edge in the Brier Creek sub-basin. While the community’s low density and higher ground keep most of the neighborhood outside of FEMA’s high-risk flood zones, Bath-Edit sits between two Savannah River tributaries, Spirit Creek and Butler Creek. Properties along these waterways are at risk of flooding and may require flood insurance.
