Abilene offers peace and quiet
Situated about 20 miles east of the Alabama border, the country community of Abilene is what most people picture when they hear “rural Georgia.” Main roads pass country pastures, ranch-style homes and barns sit on big plots of land and farms, quiet and total absence of commercial activity are big selling points. There are a few lakes in the area and some waterfront homes have back patios and docks, giving them the feel of a permanent lake house vacation. For homebuyers who want a lakefront property or a country farmhouse, Abilene is rustic Georgia at its best. “We have a very nice rural area out here. People are very friendly. It’s very much the Southern hospitality type of feel,” says Kristi Navarre, a Realtor with Re/Max Pure, who has lived in the area all her life. “Downtown Carrollton is not far away and it’s very vibrant, so there’s everything you need close by. It’s a great place to live and a great place to raise a family.”
Abilene homes are established in the rather untouched natural tree landscape of the area.
Abilene residents can take the canoe or kayak out at the lake in Little Tallapoosa Park.
