About This Home

Rare opportunity to own 28+ acres in the Model School District. Tucked behind a gated entrance, this private and secluded property welcomes you with a paved driveway leading to a four-sided brick home situated over a finished basement. The property offers exceptional versatility with extensive road frontage, public water already in place, and an impressive collection of structures. In addition to the main residence, you'll find multiple garages, workshops, storage buildings, outbuildings, a greenhouse, and covered RV parking, with several buildings already equipped with electricity. A Generac whole-home generator provides added peace of mind to the main home. Inside, the home features a spacious living room with a fireplace and built-in shelving, hardwood floors throughout the main living areas and bedrooms, and a glass-enclosed sunroom overlooking the backyard. The flexible floor plan includes two traditional bedrooms plus a large third room with a closet, windows, and a private bath, offering excellent space for guests, a home office, or additional sleeping quarters. The finished basement provides several bonus rooms that can be adapted to fit a variety of needs, and laundry connections are available on both the main level and in the basement for added convenience. Several mobile homes in poor shape are also located on the property and convey with the sale. Whether you're dreaming of a private homestead, multi-generational living, space for a home-based business, a workshop, gardening, or future development opportunities, this one-of-a-kind property offers endless potential. Conveniently located near Highways 140 and 53, you'll enjoy peaceful country living while remaining less than 20 minutes from both Rome and Calhoun. Zoned CC- we are in the process of rezoning to residential-ETA 10/1 Planning Commission meeting and 10/27 Commission meeting.
