Renovated Farmhouse Estate with Metal Shop on 21 Acres Near Baxley
$750,000
A renovated home and a metal shop on just under 21 Appling County acres — the kind of property where the income-producing potential is in both the structure and the land, depending on what a buyer decides to put to work first. The home runs to 4,640 square feet, fully renovated and move-in ready, with the commercial-capable shop alongside it.
At $750,000 for a home this size, a commercial-capable shop, and acreage in southeastern Georgia, the opportunity comes from what's already in place. Kyle Cato with Carter Group has the listing.
Homestead Potential
Water & Infrastructure
Appling County properties of this kind typically rely on a private well — buyers should confirm depth, yield, and water quality before closing, and walk the full 20.96 acres for any seasonal creeks, springs, or low spots that could support a future pond.
Crop & Income Potential
At 20.96 acres, there's real room for a kitchen garden, a few fruit trees, and pasture for small livestock, scaling up to a genuine grazing or hay operation if the land and zoning support it. Buyers should walk the property to assess how much is open versus wooded.
Sustainability
A home of this size and age has its own heating and cooling profile worth asking the seller about directly. With 20.96 acres to work with, there's flexibility to add a wood-management plan, solar array, or rotational grazing system over time.
The Boundaries
Buyers should get a current survey to confirm exact property lines, especially on rural parcels where older deeds can be imprecise. Zoning should be confirmed directly with the county for any specific plans involving livestock, outbuildings, or further subdivision.
Beyond the Property Line
Local Flavor & Small-Town Character
Baxley's downtown is in the middle of an active revival, with the Appling County Farmer's Market drawing a Saturday morning crowd at Water Works Park each summer. The town's roots run deep in the timber and naval-stores trade — it was once known as the "Turpentine Capital of the World."
Agricultural Resources & Neighbor Networks
Local farm-supply options include Thompson's Farm Supply, Branch Farm Supply, and a Tractor Supply location, with Appling Motors handling ag equipment sales and service. The Appling County Livestock Auction runs twice a month at the Baxley Fairgrounds, and UGA Extension keeps an office in the county for hands-on ag support.
Outdoor Recreation & Natural Surroundings
The Altamaha River runs just north of Baxley with boat ramps and hiking access along its banks. Little Ocmulgee State Park, with its lake, lodge, and Oak Ridge Trail, is roughly an hour away — a bit of a drive, but a solid weekend destination.
