Some farms are built to get by. This one was built without compromise, for the horses and for the people who care for them. Set on approximately 79.67 acres in Banks County with a Toccoa address, this working horse farm pairs a professional-grade equine facility with two finished living spaces. It also leaves room to grow into whatever comes next. The combined finished living area is 4,499 sq ft (ESTIMATED, NOT MEASURED). The centerpiece is a 24-stall barn with European-style luxury stall fronts, waterers and feeders in every stall, a built-in fly spray system, and Big Ass Fans to keep air moving through Georgia summers. It also has a wash rack, horse walkers, and multiple tack and utility rooms, all laid out around the daily work of the barn and the comfort of the horses. Upstairs, an air-conditioned loft looks out over the barn. It works as an office, a place to entertain, or a spot to watch the day unfold. Attached to the main barn is a finished 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath living space with luxury finishes throughout. Outside, an outdoor living area is built around a fireplace, where long days at the barn end by the fire with a view of the pastures. A separate barn holds a 2-bedroom, 1-bath living quarters. It works well for a manager, trainer, guests, or family. Another 8 stalls with handsome steel-and-wood stall fronts make a beautiful setup for quarantine, layups, sale horses, or simply giving your herd room to grow. The property is fenced and cross-fenced for rotation and turnout. It includes a conditioning track and more than one strong location for a future riding arena. The farm runs on public water with a backup well, so the horses stay watered even if service is interrupted. It's also served by septic. With finished living spaces already in place, this farm works on day one and still leaves you options. You could live in the barn residence while you design and build a main home on one of several potential homesites set away from the barn. You could keep staff or guests close by in the second quarters. Or you could simply settle in and live the farm life. The farm has a quiet, rural setting in Northeast Georgia and stays within easy reach of town and travel routes. Every detail here was chosen with care, and no expense was spared. Schedule your private tour. Square footage is estimated at 4,499 sq ft and has not been measured.
