Description
If you have been searching for a northwest Georgia cattle farm with flat ground, a creek, and a historic farmhouse, this 228 +/- acre Walker County property deserves a close look. It sits in the valley below Lookout Mountain and is an operational cattle farm, with a local farmer currently running cattle on the land. The pastures, fencing, and infrastructure are already in use. The topography is flat, which makes the farm easy to manage and work. Pastures are fenced and cross-fenced into separate areas, so a herd can be rotated across the farm to rest and manage the grass. Wooded areas of natural hardwood and pine give livestock shade. Internal roads and trails run throughout the property, making it easy to reach every pasture and corner of the land. The farm has the structures a cattle operation needs. The barns can house livestock, store equipment, and serve as a workshop. A large shed provides covered hay storage for winter feeding. Public water serves the property, so the farm has both municipal service and a natural creek. The historic farmhouse was built in 1887 and has 1,264 +/- square feet of living space on one level. It features a living room, a kitchen, two bedrooms, and one bathroom. A large front porch faces the valley. It is a good place for morning coffee at sunrise, and in the evening, the sun sets behind the ridge of Lookout Mountain. There is also plenty of room for a vegetable garden, so you can grow your own food. West Chickamauga Creek forms the western boundary of the property, and it is one of the farm's best features. The creek flows gently along the edge of the property, giving it a natural water feature that most cattle farms lack. Water is one of the most important assets on any livestock operation, and a creek running the length of a boundary adds real value to the land. For a cattle operation, the creek provides a water source for livestock. Natural water along the property line supports the grazing operation and adds to the farm's practical and long-term value. The creek also adds to the setting. The sound of moving water, the tree line along its banks, and the open pasture beyond it give the western edge of the property a peaceful, scenic character. Wildlife naturally use creek corridors for water, travel, and cover, which also benefits the hunting on the property. The farm offers hunting for deer, turkey, and other small game. The mix of open pasture, hardwoods, pine, and creek frontage gives wildlife food, water, and cover. The internal trail system also supports horseback riding, camping, hiking, and ATV riding. The farm sits off GA Highway 136, a short drive from Lafayette, Georgia. Restaurants, shopping, hardware stores, and grocery stores are close by, so the property offers a private, rural setting with nearby services. Chattanooga, Tennessee, is also within a reasonable driving distance. Of the total acreage, 220 +/- acres are protected by a perpetual federal conservation easement overseen by a land trust, while 8 +/- acres are outside the easement. Buyers should review the easement terms to understand permitted uses, including agriculture, recreation, and any improvements. A copy of these documents can be obtained for review upon request. A working cattle farm with this much level, fenced acreage, a creek boundary, and a historic home is a rare find in northwest Georgia.
