One-hour drive to ocean beaches (St Simon's & Jekyll Islands); close enough to enjoy and yet far enough away from coastal hurricanes. Do you have/want horses? There is a 33'x56' high-ceiling (approx. 20') Metal Outbuilding (used for horses years ago; some posts/fencing remain).
New (Jan. 2011) HVAC ($4.2K); lovely rural setting; 1.6+ acres; newer deep well and second/shallow well. Beautiful large oaks, some w/Spanish moss; cool/shady lot.
FIRST FLOOR: Panelled Den (FP wall is entirely brick with full-length raised hearth) - FP has 'Buck' woodstove insert; Breakfast room/Kitchen; Bright/Open-Flow Living Rm/Dining Area with front-to-back views with light from bay window in front and 3 side-by-side windows in back; separate Laundry and Half Bath; Workshop >300sf.
SECOND FLOOR: Master Bedroom w/adjoining Bath; 2 Other Bedrooms - all have large, double Closets, plus 2 linen closets in hall.
Solid home with 'good bones'; needs cosmetic work; we are presently painting the exterior (note the photos) and have done some interior painting as well. Home is very reasonably priced at $27/sf; you would spend at least double that to buy/improve raw property and construct from scratch. We have checked out the very few homes for sale in this area and feel we are offering a good deal; plus, we are working daily on the house. Check us out and make us an offer...
