850 Bethel Church Road SE

Tucked away on 50.64 acres of wooded hardwoods and fenced pasture, this private retreat offers the perfect blend of nature and modern comfort. Located just 16 minutes from downtown Rome and 15 minutes from Rockmart, the property sits only 1.2 miles off Hwy 101, yet feels worlds away. Silver Creek borders the northwest corner, with some open trails winding through the hardwood forest - ideal for hiking, riding, or exploring. About 12 acres of fenced pasture provide room for animals, possible hay production, or simply enjoying wide open space. Built in 2018, the 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home blends cabin warmth with barndominium style. Inside, you'll find hardwood floors, soaring vaulted ceilings, and a chef's kitchen with leathered granite counters, rich cabinetry, and stainless appliances. Wings off the side of house could be used as carport or a covered porch. The full downstairs level offers flexible space, including an office, a mud room or smaller office with cabinets and desk space, and a heated/cooled garage with two RV-sized powered roll-up doors, and an automotive lift - a hobbyist's or collector's dream. Outbuildings include an 80' x 40' barn with separate power meter, ideal for equipment storage or a workshop, plus a additional enclosed storage building with roll-up door. Fenced areas near the barn and pasture make it ready for livestock once again. Check out the hidden gem of a tree house w/window A/C (you provide portable power) all the way on the back side of the property. Use it for a date night/picnic site or children's play space. Whether you're looking for a private homestead, recreational getaway, or functional hobby farm, or income possibilities, this property delivers a rare opportunity to own both space and seclusion along with modern comforts already in place.
