About This Lot

As of July 2025

If "hunting, fishing and loving every day" is something you're desiring then, look no further! This turnkey property is an absolute dream for outdoor enthusiasts! Dubbed "The Farm," this 261-acre property is located conveniently between Sparta and Sandersville in middle Georgia. Not far off Highway 15, you'll love driving up to this property as you pull through the gated entry. The original farmhouse from 1925 welcomes you with its sprawling front porch and hearkens to days gone by. Pass by the beautiful 100-year-old canvasing pecan trees and park next to any one of the five camper trailers. Each trailer has a permanent tin roof covering the structure and a front porch. This setup is perfect for large groups, hunting clubs or corporate retreats - everyone gets their own space! Each evening, gather around the large communal fire pit to share stories of the day's adventures. The custom-built barn houses all of the ATV's, UTV's, tools and hunting equipment as well as a large loft space that's ideal for target practice down the adjacent hayfield. Two covered "stalls" on side of the barn and a walk-in cooler for your wild game on the other make this the perfect setup. In addition to the wood barn, there is also a pole barn large enough for two tractors and additional equipment. Travel down the hayfield, past the shooting range and head out through the cut roads that service the entire property. Note a mature mix of planted pines and hardwoods; the planted pines were thinned every fifth row last year. Choose your ideal spot to hunt amongst the five well-maintained food plots - box stand? climbing stand? Pick your poison! There's a spot for everyone here! Automatic and trough feeders are strategically placed throughout the property along with multiple salt lick areas. If you also enjoy fishing, the fully-stocked, two-acre pond is a pleasure! You'll love sitting on the new dock or meandering around the perimeter as you drop your line to catch bass, bream or catfish. The pond has been impeccably maintained and features a solar-powered feeder to keep the fish growing! This beautiful piece of paradise is just 15 minutes from Sparta or Sandersville, 30 minutes from Lake Oconee or Lake Sinclair and easy access to I-20! It's the perfect respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Welcome to "The Farm!"
