Residential Land with Home for Sale in Stockbridge, Georgia

Unique 4 bedroom, 2 bath home (approximately 2400 square feet) built on a beautiful, flat 2-acre parcel in Rockdale County. Walking distance to Panola Mountain State Park which has trails connecting to the PATH system (more than 23 miles) covering territory from Arabia Mountain to the Monastery of the Holy Spirit - a delight for the outdoors person. This property is rural, but still only 20 miles from downtown Atlanta making commuting a breeze.

The property features a two-story outbuilding, a garden shed and a chicken coop - so storage is never an issue. It also has an established garden spot, pecan trees, pear tree, fig trees, blackberry vines and grape vines - all of which bear fruit in the summer. It is also home to beautiful mature flowering plants such as azaleas, camellias and hydrangeas, as well as two huge maples - one on either side of the front porch. This property is a perfect small farm.

The house itself is a gem - a log cabin (the original structure) with a large modern addition, and a sturdy metal roof. The front porch goes all the way across the front with rocking chairs and porch swing for relaxing. The cabin portion of the house contains the family room and a game room/library. The game room/library has a stone fireplace with gas logs. The cabin portion of the house also has a loft bedroom with custom-built bookshelves (this space is currently used as a home office). There is also a concrete storm shelter built into the floor (we keep our wine down there!).

The addition holds the kitchen, dining room, primary bedroom and bath on the first floor. The second floor of the addition has two bedrooms and one full bathroom.

The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet, a linen closet and a sitting room - behind barn doors - which is currently used as a gym. The gym could easily be converted to a second walk-in closet or nursery. There is a cozy covered back porch off the gym.

The first floor bathroom has a Jacuzzi tub/shower combo and a single sink with slate tile floor and walls. This bathroom connects with the main space as well as the primary bedroom.

The kitchen has modern stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher and range) with a slate tile floor and backsplash. One wall of the kitchen/dining room is a log wall - a real statement - which was the exterior wall of the original cabin. There is also a 4-stool counter-height bar in the kitchen. The dining room can easily fit a 12-person table (or more).

There is a washer/dryer closet behind louvered doors.

The upstairs features two bedrooms - one huge, one small. The larger has a big walk-in closet and an additional large closet. The small bedroom currently is perfect for kids. The closet has been converted into a toy/reading nook and is housed behind a curtain in the dormer area of the room.

This house has central air conditioning that is in working condition, but it needs to be upgraded to a dual zone system to keep upstairs comfortable in summer. We supplement the central cooling with window units in areas being used. These units can stay with the house, or can be removed.

There is also a large carport and a small side yard behind a privacy fence.

Some upgrades: The chimney has an attractive custom-made metal cap to prevent access by birds. There is a brand new (2024) tankless (on-demand) water heater and a newer well pump and pump house. We have added new gutters and installed gutter guards to keep them low maintenance. The septic tank is freshly pumped (July), and we have a passing septic inspection report in hand.

The house could use some new flooring downstairs. We have used area rugs to cover the imperfections.

Seller will contribute $1,000 toward closing costs.
