The property also includes a 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence that has undergone significant updates in 2024, including: * New roof * New flooring * Fresh interior paint * New countertops * Updated tubs and toilets * Rebuilt front and back porches The home’s title has been retired and is permanently affixed to the land as real property with Monroe County, making conventional financing available to qualified buyers.

Conveniently located just minutes from the interstate, you’ll enjoy the privacy of rural living without sacrificing accessibility to Macon, Forsyth, or Atlanta.
