Smith Farm is a 152-acre generational family farm in Crisp County, just outside Cordele and only ten minutes from Interstate 75. The property includes approximately 115 acres of farmland, 13 acres of fenced pasture, 21 acres of woods, and a 3-acre home place with two homes and a four-car garage. Owned by the same family since the 1800s and maintained as a working farm for most of that time, the cropland features productive South Georgia soils well suited for dryland agricultural production. Approximately 75% of the property consists of Tifton loamy sand, with National Commodity Crop Productivity Index (NCCPI) ratings ranging from 0.637 to 0.646. The 13-acre fenced pasture, used for cows, has a plumbed watering cistern with a concrete apron. The property includes two natural springs, and the terrain map shows an old pond site on the northeastern corner, offering potential sites for future livestock or irrigation ponds. The wooded areas are a mix of pine and hardwood timber buffering intermittent creeks. Crisp County is known for quality hunting, and Georgia Outdoor News ranks the county "GOOD CHANCE for a Wallhanger" in its Big Buck Production classification. A portion of the property has a planted dove field. The 3-acre home place includes a furnished 1,404 sq. ft. brick home with three bedrooms and 1.5 baths, currently used by the family, and a second three-bedroom farmhouse that has been rented to the same tenant for over 25 years. The property is served by overhead power, a deep well, and septic, and three-phase power is available along Hatley Road. Located at 1209 Hatley Road with approximately 2,100 feet of paved road frontage, about 15 minutes from Cordele, 1 hour 10 minutes from Macon, and 2 hours 30 minutes from Atlanta.
