Offering a rare opportunity in a highly desirable location, this 57.11 acre property at 740 Cromers Bridge Road in Royston, Franklin County truly checks all the boxes. The land features a beautiful mix of open pasture and mature woods with gently rolling terrain, making it ideal for farming, livestock, recreation, or a private homesite. It's easy to envision a stunning equestrian estate taking shape here. Two scenic ponds are thoughtfully positioned on the property, including one that creates a picturesque backdrop just behind the home. The property also offers approximately 220 feet of creek frontage, adding to its natural charm. Extensive road frontage on two sides provides excellent accessibility and flexibility for potential subdivision, multiple homesites, or continued agricultural use. The home is a solid four-sided brick ranch offering approximately 1,450 square feet, complete with a metal roof, attached carport, and a rear deck overlooking the pond-a view that truly sets this property apart. Inside, you'll find 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, a kitchen, dining room, and den, all ready for your vision and updates to restore and personalize the space. Whether for personal use, rental income, or as part of a larger estate plan, the foundation is in place. Additional improvements include a 25' x 50' pole barn, ideal for equipment storage or livestock. The location completes the package-just 10-12 minutes from I-85 access and a convenient drive to Athens, offering the perfect balance of peaceful country living and commuter accessibility. Please note: The abandoned chicken house located to the left of the home will be removed and the area cleaned prior to closing.
