This 70 acre property offers a rare combination of a modern home, productive farmland, and recreational opportunities in a quiet rural setting. Built in 2022, the 4-bedroom, 3-bath home includes approximately 2,100 sq. ft. of living space with an open floor plan, updated kitchen, and modern finishes throughout. Its comfortable layout makes it ideal for everyday living while being just minutes from downtown Bowdon. The land is well-balanced with large open fields currently in hay production, quality soils, and gentle topography. These acres can remain in hay or be easily fenced for horses, cattle, or other livestock. Wooded edges and transition areas between the fields add both visual appeal and excellent wildlife habitat. Big Indian Creek runs along the back of the property for roughly one mile, providing year-round water and scenic beauty. Several small springs and branches also support wildlife and farming needs. Deer and turkey are common, and the mix of pasture and timber creates natural spots for food plots and hunting setups. The property also includes a two-bay shop with a concrete floor, power, and water-perfect for equipment storage or workshop use. Additional building sites provide options for family, guests, or future development. Conveniently located less than 5 minutes from Bowdon, 20 minutes from Carrollton, 10 minutes from I-20, and under an hour from Atlanta, this tract offers privacy and space while still being close to town.
78 Acre Family Compound with Three Homes, Pasture & One Mile of Big Indian Creek Frontage - Bowdon, GA Property Overview This 78 acre farm just outside of Bowdon, Georgia, is a rare and exceptional offering. With three modern homes, gently rolling fields, mature hardwoods, and over a mile of frontage along Big Indian Creek, this property is ideally suited for a family compound, rural retreat, or private estate. The layout is thoughtful, the land is beautiful, and the location provides the perfect balance of privacy and access. The entire property is gated with an internal road system connecting each residence and key areas of the land. Whether you're looking for a productive piece of land, a multi-generational setup, or a getaway that feels remote but stays connected-this tract checks all the boxes. Residences There are three homes on the property, all built in 2022 and designed with comfort, quality, and usability in mind. Each one is well-appointed and move-in ready: Main Home: 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, approximately 2,150 sq ft Second Home: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, approximately 1,500 sq ft Third Home: 1 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, approximately 1,200 sq ft The homes are spread out for privacy but easily accessed by a shared drive behind the gated entrance. Whether for extended family, guests, or other uses, the multi-home setup offers versatility that's hard to find on rural acreage. Land & Use The land is a major highlight of this property. The majority of the 78 acres is open ground, including productive pasture currently in hay production. These large, well-maintained fields are ready for continued use as hayfields or easily converted to fenced pasture for horses, cattle, or other livestock. The soils and gentle topography lend themselves well to agricultural pursuits, making the property practical and versatile. The open acreage is framed by mature hardwood transition zones that provide natural boundaries between fields. These wooded areas enhance the property's aesthetics and serve as excellent bedding and travel corridors for wildlife. The blend of open pasture and timber makes the land feel expansive, diverse, and well-balanced. Water Features One of the most unique aspects of this tract is the one mile of frontage on Big Indian Creek-a bold, year-round waterway that winds along the back edge of the property. It's a rare and beautiful feature that adds character, recreational value, and a major natural resource to the farm. In addition to the main creek, there are several small springs and branches throughout the property that support both the ecosystem and long-term land use. Wildlife & Recreation The diversity of terrain and habitat makes this a great hunting property as well. Open fields provide food sources, while hardwood edges and creek bottoms offer ideal bedding and travel corridors for deer and turkey. It would be easy to establish food plots, trail systems, or blinds across the property without disrupting the layout. The land has a quiet, natural feel, and with its privacy and water, it offers excellent year-round recreational potential. Location The property is situated less than five minutes from downtown Bowdon, providing quick access to schools, groceries, and small-town amenities. It's only 20 minutes to Carrollton, 10 minutes south of I-20, and under an hour to Atlanta, making it easy to enjoy rural living without giving up proximity to city services. This property is shown by appointment only.
