WATER'S EDGE FARM 68.54 Acres | 570 Old Antioch Road | Carrollton, Georgia A place where land, water, history, and a way of life come together. There are properties you purchase for what they offer today-and there are properties you acquire because you can see what they might become for your family for generations. Water's Edge Farm is such a place. Set across 68.54 rolling acres near Carrollton, Georgia, this distinctive property brings together open grassland, mature hardwoods, extensive lake frontage, a historic farmhouse, classic red barn, and useful farm improvements. But perhaps its greatest attribute is something harder to measure: the opportunity to create a lifestyle centered around the land. Imagine mornings when the mist is still rising from the lake. Coffee on the porch before walking down to the water. Cattle or horses grazing across the open fields. Children and grandchildren fishing along the shoreline, exploring the woods, or gathering at the barn. Evenings spent watching the sun settle behind the hardwoods and listening as the farm grows quiet. It is the kind of property where traditions can begin-and where they can be passed down. The Water Water defines much of the character of this farm. The property adjoins an approximately 22.8-acre watershed lake, with approximately 8 acres of the reservoir lying within the property itself. Approximately 811 feet of eastern shoreline and 951 feet of western shoreline (outside of wetland areas) create an extraordinary relationship between the land and water. The lake provides more than beautiful scenery. It becomes part of daily life on the farm-a place for fishing, paddling, wildlife watching, quiet mornings, family gatherings, and simply enjoying the view. Combined with rolling terrain and mature hardwoods, the water gives the property a sense of privacy and natural beauty that is difficult to duplicate. The Land Approximately 21 acres are currently in grass, offering opportunities for horses, livestock, hay production, wildlife openings, or simply maintaining the pastoral landscape that gives the farm much of its character. The balance of the property is predominantly wooded with mature hardwoods, providing shade, wildlife habitat, seasonal color, and opportunities for trails and recreation. Rolling topography creates changing views as you move through the property-from open fields to hardwood ridges and ultimately to the water's edge. With approximately 1,160 feet of paved county road frontage, Water's Edge Farm offers excellent accessibility while retaining the space and privacy expected from a substantial rural property. A Connection to the Past Standing among the property's improvements is a historic farmhouse believed to have been built circa 1886. The approximately 1,500-square-foot, three-bedroom, one-bath home serves as a reminder that families have been connected to this land for well over a century. Nearby, a classic red barn dating to approximately 1950 measures roughly 42' 58' under roof. Together, the farmhouse and barn create an authentic farm setting that simply cannot be reproduced with new construction. For the next owner, these structures offer an opportunity to honor the property's past while determining how they might become part of its future. Room for Family, Guests & Pursuits A separate 720-square-foot tiny home, built circa 1989, includes one bedroom and one bath and provides potential space for guests, extended family, a caretaker, or other uses. The property also features a substantial 30' 40' metal shop constructed in 2009 with I-beam construction, electricity, and remote-controlled roll-up doors-well suited for equipment, tractors, recreational vehicles, hobbies, or farm operations. An 18' 36' in-ground swimming pool and bath house, currently not in use, offers another opportunity for a future owner to restore or reimagine an existing amenity. County water
