Description

Nestled in the heart of Wheeler County, Georgia, Bells Ferry Retreat is a historic gem spanning 75 picturesque acres. Built in 1845 for Dr. Mobley, this charming homestead invites you to envision horse and buggy rides along the old dirt roads of yesteryear. The property is steeped in history, once featuring the old Bells Ferry that gracefully crossed the Oconee River, connecting communities and creating memories from a bygone era. This home, which later served as part of a tobacco barn, has been lovingly restored over the years. Its original charm shines through with beautifully refinished antique floors, where you can still see the square-headed nails that tell a story of craftsmanship. Recently updated with high-speed internet lines, the property now offers modern connectivity while maintaining its timeless allure. This blend of old-world charm and modern convenience makes it ideal for both peaceful living and staying connected. Surrounded by lush landscapes with young and mature pines, the property is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, located in prime deer country and just a short drive from the Oconee River boat landing-ideal for fishing and outdoor adventures. A spacious shelter provides ample parking for all your needs, enhancing the property's functionality. Situated in the historic area known as the Forks of the River, where Cherokee Indians once settled, this unique retreat offers a blend of country living and deep-rooted heritage. With its serene surroundings and unparalleled history, Bells Ferry Retreat is truly one of a kind. It's a rare opportunity to own a piece of the past, located at 981 Bells Ferry Rd and just a short drive from Uvalda and Lumber City. Don't miss your chance to experience country living at its finest. This remarkable property won't last long!
