Welcome to 1707 Old Alabama Road in Austell, GA — a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history. Lovingly held by the original family for generations, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath farmhouse sits on approximately 2.7 beautiful acres and offers the kind of character, craftsmanship, and land opportunity that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in today’s market. With approximately 1,424 square feet, this charming farmhouse is filled with warmth, stories, and potential. The home does need some refreshing, but the bones are solid and the possibilities are endless for someone looking to restore and personalize a property with true soul and history. One of the home’s most special features is the inviting screened-in front porch complete with a traditional blue-painted ceiling — a beloved Southern detail often rooted in folklore said to ward off spirits while also believed by some to discourage dirt daubers from nesting. Whether rooted in tradition or practicality, it creates the perfect setting for slow mornings, evening conversations, and peaceful views of the surrounding property. The land itself is a standout feature. The expansive 2.7-acre lot offers room to garden, roam, create, or simply enjoy the quiet beauty of nature. Chickens have long been part of the property’s story, adding to the authentic farmhouse lifestyle and charm that make this home feel like a true homestead setting. Adding even more value is the 24 X 40 workshop with attached lean-to. Equipped with 220V electricity and an air compressor system, the workshop remains a meaningful part of the property’s legacy and offers incredible potential for woodworking, automotive projects, fabrication, hobbies, storage, small business use, or other creative pursuits. 2 septic systems, one on each side of the house. Located in Austell, a city with deep railroad and industrial roots dating back to the late 1800s, the area has long been known for its strong sense of community and accessibility to both recreation and metro Atlanta conveniences. Austell originally grew around the historic railroad system and the region’s famous lithia springs, which once drew visitors seeking the area’s mineral waters and restorative atmosphere. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate proximity to Sweetwater Creek State Park, known for hiking, kayaking, fishing, scenic trails, and historic mill ruins, along with nearby parks and recreation opportunities throughout the area. Conveniently located with easy access to shopping, dining, parks, and commuter routes toward Atlanta and surrounding areas, this property offers a unique blend of privacy, history, usable land, workshop space, and authentic farmhouse character.
This is more than a home — it is a legacy property waiting for its next chapter.
