Located in the district for Georgia's #1 Charter School - Walton High School, 3888 Providence Road presents a fantastic opportunity for a 3 acre estate home or single family home development. Only minutes from the Marietta Square, there are endless commercial businesses nearby in the Merchants Walk area of East Cobb and Downtown Atlanta is within reach for a close-in commute. The high school is walkable 400 yards down the road, and the lot is private and lies over a ridge off Providence Road that provides privacy from the street. The single family home has been removed from the property such that the land is vacant with the exception of a horse barn suitable for renovation for an estate. All utilities are on site with purchaser verification. Currently zoned R-20 with sewer access with an easement required and the topography is level to rolling. Right off Roswell Road in the East Cobb area of Marietta, Georgia, this listing is sure to check all of your boxes. How can you beat a highly desirable area of strong schools, and an endless source of convenience and entertainment?
East Cobb, located between the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area and Historic Marietta Square, is a residential and suburban Marietta neighborhood with wooded creek corridors and a strong parks-and-trails culture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Johnson Ferry Road at Lower Roswell Road, where coffee counters, local eateries, and everyday errands cluster in a steady hum of traffic and patios. Community pillars include The Avenue East Cobb, the Georgia Symphony Orchestra at the Jennie T. Anderson Theatre, and the weekly Marietta Square Farmers Market. Streets shift from mid-century ranches to newer brick traditionals, with cul-de-sacs and rolling terrain shaping the blocks. Terrell Mill Park and the Sope Creek trails set a weekend rhythm of river walks and shaded runs. Dining and shopping lean toward small plazas and locally rooted spots rather than a single main street.
