1286 Bearden Road

Just under 5-acre lot suitable for a mini-farm located in Walton County, right outside the City Limits of Good Hope. This is one of the last two remaining buildable lots in a line of newly built luxury modern farmhouses. These homes all recently sold for up to $800,000. This is lot 15 of Hester Estates, with no HOA fees. To the left (NW) is a 45-acre lot with most of its land (nearly 40 acres) in a flood zone. To the rear (NE) is land owned by Thompson's Tree Farm and to the right (SE) is a new luxury farmhouse. It's only 11 minutes to Monroe and 24 minutes to Athen's shopping. The front half of the tract is raised up from the road and level to about half way back. This front portion is a field of timber pine ready for harvest if desired. This area would be a perfect field for horses or other farm animals. There is plenty of room for a barn, chicken pens, tractor sheds and more. At about halfway back, there is a slight slope down, suitable for a basement home. There are also plenty of building locations for a slab foundation as well. The back half of the property transitions to old growth hardwoods full of oak trees, poplars and even a few pecan trees. The rear forest canopy is so shady that the land is free of underbrush. Plus, there is a full-time flowing creek along the rear property line. This perennial stream draws deer, turkeys, and a variety of other wildlife. There's not a neighboring home visible from the rear of the land. The land has already had a "perc test" (percolation survey) and is suitable for a septic system. The full survey, soil test and flood map are available on request.
