Residential Land for Sale in Townsend, Georgia
S Newport Dr, Townsend, GA 31331
Build your DREAM home on almost 6 acres in Historic McIntosh County located on DEEPWATER with 200+ of waterfront footage on the charming South Newport River. The property has endless opportunities with the possibility of a boathouse type dock on the water and a secluded estate behind. There is no HOA. It is beautifully wooded with mixed pine. It is private. The beauty of this property is the close proximity to I-95 as one could be on the interstate in five minutes. Savannah is only 40 minutes north and St Simons Island only 40 minutes south.
Once purchased, Buyers would need to apply for a dock permit with the DNR/Corps of Engineers as there is currently no dock permit in place. There is an old dock and although a repair permit may be sought, it may need an entire new permit and have old pilings and old dock removed due to age and damage. There was once a mobile home on the front waterfront parcel according to old tax records but it has been removed. Property sold AS IS and owners do not have prior knowledge of the history. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10gJnBeVkhRU_4v6YhefvUmGCqPzfQjaO
