Hancock Mill is a rural community about 20 miles from the heart of Augusta
Hancock Mill is so rural it’s inconspicuous. “You could drive right through it and blink, and you’ll miss it,” says local broker Drew May, co-owner of Leading Edge Real Estate. May and his wife, Christine May, have served Richmond County homebuyers for nearly 30 years. “Most people don’t even know what it is because it’s such a small community.” Homes here are tucked away from major roadways on woodsy lots generally larger than those in the Augusta metro area. Outside its limited housing market, the community mainly comprises farms and forests. “There’s a lot of pine trees and many farms that grow peanuts and collared greens and what-not,” May says. The community also has several churches, including Pine Hill Baptist Church and Liberty Methodist Church.
Hancock Mill residents value private lots that offer space for gardens, barns, or workshops tucked behind woodlines.
Nestled inside Hancock Mill, Arcadia homes provide modern convenience with a country style layout and open floorplans.

A mix of manufactured homes and contemporary colonials on sizable lots
The community features just a few hundred homes. The Hancock Mill subdivision, the community’s namesake, consists of manufactured homes, while the Arcadia subdivision mainly features contemporary colonials built in the early 2000s. Midcentury ranch-style and additional manufactured homes sit on independent lots spread across the community. Properties offer privacy and space for farm animals. “You’re going to find one to two-acre lots for the most part,” May says. A few dozen homes sit on upwards of 10 acres. Homes generally list from $100,000 to $325,000, but those in the Arcadia subdivision sell between $350,000 and $500,000.
These factory built homes in Hancock Mill blend with the landscape and often sit alongside traditional stick built residences.
The Arcadia subdivision within Hancock Mill comprises upscale homes built during the early 2000s on spacious lots.
