Blythe is a rural community close to Fort Eisenhower and Augusta
Blythe, a rural community of just a few hundred residents, sits quietly outside the Augusta city limits and 12 miles from Fort Eisenhower. After its first house was built in 1832 on a 500-acre tract, a community began to develop. A post office opened in 1845, and Blythe's first store followed in 1884. Today, Blythe remains predominantly rural with a small, close-knit community. "It's a small-town community feel on the outskirts of a much bigger metropolitan area," says local Realtor Anne Marie Kyzer of Mary Yelton Realty. She's sold homes across the region for just over a decade. "People tend to buy homes here to get out of the congestion." The community holds small events, like Easter egg hunts for the kids and Blythe Fever, an annual festival and parade. Blythe is home to several churches, including Blythe Baptist Church and Faith Baptist Church.
Many homes sit on generous acreage, reflecting the area’s rural heritage and pace.
Large yards and quiet settings make manufactured homes appealing in Blythe.

A mix of historic homes and new construction of sizable lots
Blythe features many cottages and bungalows built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many of which need repairs. These, and many of the community's manufactured homes, usually list for $130,000 to $250,000. Several mid-century, ranch-style homes and custom new-builds list between $200,000 and $500,000. Many houses sit on several acres, bringing values from $500,000 to $600,000. "It's really an eclectic mix," Kyzer says. "Some of the lots are larger because it's a more rural area." Aside from a few close-quartered houses in the community's center, homes are fairly spread out on sizable lots. Most properties here measure at least an acre, but several homes sit on over 20 acres.
Restored cottages maintain the town’s quiet historic character.
Many buyers choose Blythe for acreage when building custom homes.

Its outdoor amenities include a paved walking path, a playground and a large field for recreational sports.
