If you're looking for acreage where you can build, hunt, invest in timber, and make the property your own, this 64.31-acre tract offers plenty of possibilities. Approximately 61 acres were planted in pines in 2024, providing future timber value while still being young enough that areas could be cleared relatively easily for a homesite, food plots, shooting lanes, roads, or larger open spaces. The property features rolling to steep terrain with a hardwood drain through the center, creating habitat diversity and natural travel corridors for wildlife. Hancock County is a Quality Deer Management county, and the combination of young pine cover, hardwoods, varied terrain, and surrounding large acreage tracts provides good hunting opportunities now and as the property matures. Power is available at Balerma Church Road. The property has been surveyed, and the boundaries are marked with pink ribbon. A small cemetery is located on the tract with a recorded access easement. The existing driveway is not actually on this tract. Whether you picture a home tucked back on the property, a hunting getaway, or simply owning land and watching the timber grow, this tract offers a strong combination of homesite potential, recreation, hunting, and long-term timber value. The adjoining 64.35-acre Tract 2 is also available, providing the opportunity to own approximately 128.66 contiguous acres. Approximately 20 minutes to Sandersville, 22 minutes to Sparta, and 30 minutes to Milledgeville.
