Own your home AND your business location for less than many people pay for mortgage plus commercial rent. Run Your Business From Home | Nearly 9 Private Acres | 2,400 Sq. Ft. Climate-Controlled Workshop | Minutes from I-75
Not every property fits into a box—and that’s exactly what makes this one special.
Whether you’re a contractor, landscaper, electrician, plumber, welder, fabricator, mechanic, woodworker, trucking operator, or entrepreneur, this unique Monroe County property offers something that’s increasingly difficult to find: the ability to live, work, store equipment, and grow your business—all from one location.
Nestled on 8.99 private acres just minutes from I-75, the heart of the property is a 40’ × 60’ (2,400 sq. ft.) climate-controlled workshop complete with HVAC and plumbing. This isn’t just another outbuilding—it’s a professional-grade workspace ready for your tools, equipment, inventory, hobbies, or business operation.
The improvements continue outside with approximately one acre secured behind an 8-foot privacy fence, creating a private compound ideal for equipment storage, trailers, work vehicles, recreational toys, pets, or simply enjoying the peace and privacy of country living.
The property also includes a 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence that has undergone significant updates in 2024, including:
* New roof
* New flooring
* Fresh interior paint
* New countertops
* Updated tubs and toilets
* Rebuilt front and back porches
The home’s title has been retired and is permanently affixed to the land as real property with Monroe County, making conventional financing available to qualified buyers.
Whether you’re looking to eliminate the cost of renting commercial shop space, launch your next business venture, build your dream homestead, or simply enjoy the freedom of owning nearly nine acres with room to expand, opportunities like this are becoming increasingly rare in Monroe County.
Conveniently located just minutes from the interstate, you’ll enjoy the privacy of rural living without sacrificing accessibility to Macon, Forsyth, or Atlanta.
Important Information:
* Remaining under-home plumbing and insulation improvements have been considered in the asking price.
* Appliances do not convey.
* Conventional financing available to qualified buyers.
* Proof of funds or lender pre-approval required prior to showing.
* No owner financing.
If you’ve been searching for a property that offers more than just a place to live—a property that supports your lifestyle, your business, and your future—you owe it to yourself to see this one in person.
