If you've been searching for a true farm home with the pastures, barns, and working setup to go along with it, this place deserves a look. Located at 5587 Highway 77, Hartwell, Ga, just 7 minutes outside of Hartwell, Georgia, this 21.24-acre boutique-style dairy farm brings together local history, productive pasture, and a functional light scale dairy operation. Built in 1860, the 2,284-square-foot, two-story farmhouse hosts 4 bedrooms and 1 bathroom with the kind of character you just can't build into a new home. Inside you'll find an ample-sized eat-in kitchen, a storage and pantry room with a wood-burning stove, and a good-sized living room with a gas fireplace. Upstairs, there's a loft-style bedroom that could make a great sitting area, along with another bedroom featuring heart-of-pine walls and ceilings. A big back deck overlooks the pasture, while the covered front porch and huge pecan trees, along with a magnolia, give the shaded front and back yards that true old farmhouse feel. There's a lot of local history wrapped up in this home, and if farm-style living is what you're after, this is it. Out on the farm, you'll find a great mix of fescue and Bermuda pastures with a water source in each pasture trap. Little Cold Water Creek flows along the northern boundary, a pond serves the southern pasture, a float tank sits in the center, and a spring-fed branch runs through the eastern pasture, making watering livestock a whole lot easier throughout the seasons. At the milking barn, covered sorting and holding pens lead into a double-6 herringbone milking parlor capable of milking 12 head at a time. The parlor hosts modern equipment and stainless milk lines leading to a functional 1,100-gallon Universal Country Cooler bulk tank, along with an additional 1,000-gallon tank that could be brought back into service if desired. The barn's utility room also includes a full bathroom complete with a shower, and multiple storage sheds, barns, and chicken coops are already in place across the farm. Functional farms set up for a niche dairy operation seldom come available in this part of the world, especially with this combination of history, water, pasture, and infrastructure on manageable acreage in a great location. Whether you're looking to put your roots down on a working farm or take the next step with a small-scale, Manageable sized dairy operation, this place is worth seeing firsthand.
