3905 Georgia Highway 138, Covington, Georgia

Description

A rare opportunity to own nearly 74 acres of established former organic farmland, mature woods, water resources, and existing agricultural infrastructure along Highway 138 in Walton County. Formerly operated as Whippoorwill Hollow Organic Farm, this unique property offers a substantial head start for someone looking to establish a commercial farm, market garden, orchard, homestead, hobby farm, agritourism operation, or private country estate. The property retains numerous improvements from its farming operation, including multiple irrigation wells, large water-holding tanks, irrigation infrastructure, hoop-house/greenhouse frames, storage structures, electric service, and an extensive network of interior farm roads and trails. Even more distinctive is the variety of established fruit and perennial plantings throughout the farm. Existing plantings include apple, pear, peach, fig, pomegranate, and chestnut trees, along with approximately two acres of blueberries and established muscadine vines. The property was operated using organic growing practices, with the existing fruit crops historically grown without conventional fertilizer. Approximately 15-20% of the property is open land, while the balance consists primarily of beautiful mature hardwood forest with some mature pine areas. This combination provides opportunities for farming, livestock, recreation, hunting, trails, additional orchard or pasture development, and a secluded homesite. A year-round creek runs through the property and is a tributary of Cornish Creek, adding another natural water feature and enhancing the property's recreational and aesthetic appeal. Interior dirt and gravel roads, farm roads, and wooded trails provide access throughout much of the acreage. The property also includes a 960-square-foot wood-frame structure/shell, formerly used as a residence, along with additional storage and shed structures. With approximately 955 feet of frontage on Georgia Highway 138, the property provides excellent accessibility while still offering the privacy and natural beauty of a large rural tract. It is located approximately 7 miles from Loganville, 7 miles from Monroe, 11 miles from Covington, and 32 miles east of Downtown Atlanta. Zoned A-1 Rural Estate, the property offers a compelling combination that is increasingly difficult to find: significant acreage, established agricultural infrastructure, abundant water resources, existing orchards and berry plantings, mature timber, creek frontage, highway access, and proximity to Atlanta-area communities. Whether envisioned as a working commercial farm, boutique organic farm, orchard, hobby farm, homestead, equestrian or livestock property, agritourism destination, recreational retreat, or private estate, Whippoorwill Hollow offers the land and infrastructure to bring that vision to life. Nearly 74 acres. Multiple wells. Agricultural water storage. Existing farm infrastructure. Established fruit, berry, and nut crops. Creek. Mature hardwoods. Highway frontage.
