4.4 Acres of Residential Land with Home for Sale in Jackson, Georgia

Nestled amongst the pines and hardwoods of eastern Henry County between the South River and Jackson Lake Road, lies this sprawling homestead featuring a charming ranch home, a massive 20x60 detached garage workshop, a serviceable gardening shed, and tremendous potential. County records indicate the property is zoned RA with minimum 175 ft lot width and - for lots on private well and septic like this one - minimum 1.25 acres, meaning this property may be subdividable into at least 2 separate lots, as a 1996 survey reveals its 4.36 acres has over 500 feet of road frontage and lot depth ranging from more than 300 to over 450 feet. | The 3-bed, 2-bath, single-level home on the leftmost-third of the property was originally built off-site in 1957 and moved to Island Shoals in 1996 by the current owners, a retired professional residential contractor and his family. They expanded the generous living room area, adding a wheelchair ramp to access the front door and a screened-in-porch to enjoy wildlife and fresh air on amazing spring mornings and cozy fall afternoons. A further addition expanded the master suite, kitchen and dining nook, a second full bath, laundry room, and back deck. The home is served by its own well and septic system. A just-filled, above-ground propane tank fuels the kitchen's 4-burner range/oven and the home's ~8-year-old water heater. Owners recently had the original HVAC unit upgraded to an efficient electric heat pump system in December 2021, replaced the roof approximately 5 years ago, and installed a new dishwasher in 2023. | Whether you're a hobbyist, car enthusiast, or in need of a workshop for your trade, the 20x60 detached garage workshop is a versatile space providing ample room for projects and storage. Features include 3-phase 440V power (as well as standard single-phase 220V and 110V) for all your electrical needs, all wiring in metal conduit, plenty of lighting, a ventilation system, copious shelves and cabinets, concrete slab and more. An approximately 20x20 back room joins the 20x40 front room, from which a 10x6 office is cut. A 20x6 loft accommodates extra storage above. An accomplished woodworker, the current owner hand-built the home's kitchen cabinets here when they renovated. A lean-to carport off the building's right side provides additional covered outdoor storage and parking. | While the home's next owners will undoubtedly want to add their own touches, the house is move-in ready as it stands, though the exterior exhibits some deferred maintenance. For the buyer who plans to build a custom home elsewhere on the property, the current house would certainly make an excellent extended stay during construction. For those building and/or renovating, there's plenty of room for household goods storage, boat and RV parking. Multiple boat ramps nearby allow access to beautiful Lake Jackson. Within a reasonable distance of shopping, dining, entertainment, and outdoor opportunities galore, escape the hustle and bustle of the city and find solace in this peaceful countryside retreat!
