McDade is known for its spread-out, country setting.
McDade offers rural living with access to Augusta’s amenities
About 12 miles south of Downtown Augusta, McDade is a rural neighborhood where spacious residential lots meet stretches of undeveloped woodlands. Here, new subdivisions sit alongside older properties, and you can find enough acreage for private fishing ponds, large gardens or hobby farms. Pine and hardwood forests surround the neighborhood, with the more than 500-acre Spirit Creek Forest Wildlife Management Area at its rough center. Its country feel draws homebuyers seeking space, quiet roads and access to outdoor recreation while still being connected to the greater Augusta area.
McDade’s older roads are lined with ranch-style homes, while newer lots include manufactured housing.
Housing in McDade spans new builds and established houses
Whether in subdivisions or dotting two-lane country roads, homes in McDade come with space to spread out. You can find a wide variety of housing styles here, from midcentury ranch-style homes to recently built New Traditionals. Depending on size, age and condition, prices can range from the mid-$100,000s to the high $300,000s. “There are a lot of homes and developments around Augusta, but around there it's a little less populated,” says I.B. Parnell, Region Supervisor at the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
Hundreds of acres for hunting, fishing and hiking
Off Smokey Road, the Spirit Creek Forest Wildlife Management Area covers around 570 acres of pine forests and hardwood bottomlands along a winding creek. Managed primarily for hunting, it has designated seasons for archery deer, turkey and small game. Spirit Creek also draws anglers seeking freshwater species and hikers. “People are welcome to walk around the property on the roads, especially during the summer when we’re out of hunting season,” Parnell says. A short drive away in the Jamestown neighborhood, Diamond Lakes Regional Park spans nearly 300 acres. It has four stocked fishing ponds, walking tracks, wooded picnic areas and multiple playgrounds.
Spirit Creek Forest keeps McDade rural.
