McBean is a rural community in Hephzibah with sizable lots
McBean is quintessential rural America, defined by its winding backroads, sizable woodsy properties and green pastures often cross-fenced for horses and other farm animals. “McBean has a small-town, country feel,” says local Realtor Justin Bolin of Vandermorgan Realty. He’s sold homes across the region for more than 20 years and previously lived in McBean. “While it’s rural, it’s still conveniently located. It’s far out without being too far out.” Much of the draw is in the community’s land, where the median lot size is just over an acre, and its average housing values are just under the Augusta Metro area. The community has little commercial activity, but nearby townships and cities provide big-box stores and restaurants. The community is home to and near several places of worship, including Miracle Baptist Church and Pine Hill Baptist Church.
Most homes in McBean were constructed after 1970, reflecting recent residential growth in the area.

Various housing options on at least an acre of land
Housing styles and property sizes vary widely in McBean. “You’ve got a little bit of everything here,” Bolin says. “You have smaller homes, manufactured homes, stick-builds, brick ranches and more. It’s not a one-size-fits-all community.” Most homes were built after 1970, but many homes for sale are newly or recently constructed. Housing styles range from contemporary colonial and New Traditional to farmhouses and ranches. Homes in subdivisions like Cedar Ridge Farms and Hunter’s Mill sit on about an acre of land where residents can see their neighbors. However, many homes sit on several acres surrounded by trees. Many properties measure from 50 to 100 acres, where some residents ride ATVs or pick blackberries. Homes here list from $100,000 to $500,000, with the higher end featuring more land and a newer construction date.
Brick ranches dot McBean’s landscape, offering sturdy one level homes amid spacious yards.
McBean is a community where winding backroads, green pastures, and access to Augusta combine seamlessly.
