Welcome to a timeless Fort Gaines retreat — a beautifully remodeled, classic Southern home with boundless potential. Nestled on over 11 acres of verdant land, this charming 5-bed, 2.5-bath residence blends character with modern comforts and offers room to grow, play, and host.
Step inside to discover rich original hardwood floors and gracious living spaces, including formal living and dining rooms that invite gatherings and family meals. Plantation shutters accent the windows, bathing rooms in warm natural light and preserving the home’s classic elegance. The floorplan offers multiple flex spaces — perfect for extra living room space, office, hobby, or recreation rooms.
The heart of the outdoor living space awaits in your fenced backyard, featuring a gunite saltwater pool with a new Dolphin cleaner and an outdoor bath house, ideal for summer lounging and entertaining under the Georgia sky. A separate workshop/garage area gives hobbyists and DIYers room to create and a newly fenced front yard.
Surrounded by fruit trees, mature foliage, and abundant wildlife, this property offers a serene rural setting just minutes from Bagby State Park, Meadow Links Golf Course, and world-class fishing and boating on Lake Eufaula. Whether you’re dreaming of a family homestead, an income-producing retreat, or a peaceful getaway close to outdoor adventure, the possibilities are endless.
Extras include central cooling, a private setting with fiber internet installed for remote work, and ample acreage for gardens, pasture, or future expansion.
Perfectly positioned between coastal escape and city convenience, this Fort Gaines property offers a rare blend of peaceful rural living with easy access to some of the Southeast’s most desirable destinations. When wanderlust calls, the sugar-white sands and emerald waters of Florida’s Panhandle beaches are just a scenic drive away, making spontaneous beach days and weekend getaways effortlessly attainable. From Cape San Blas to Panama City Beach, world-class shoreline, dining, and coastal charm are within reach while you return home to quiet country nights.
The home is also conveniently located near several larger regional cities, providing access to shopping, healthcare, entertainment, and employment opportunities without sacrificing privacy. Dothan is a short drive away and serves as a major commercial and medical hub for the region. Columbus, home to vibrant riverfront development, Fort Moore, and a thriving arts and dining scene, is easily accessible for day trips or commuting. Albany offers additional conveniences including regional healthcare, retail centers, and cultural attractions.
This strategic location makes the property ideal for those seeking a central home base — close enough to the beach for weekend escapes, near enough to urban centers for modern conveniences, yet far enough removed to enjoy the peace, space, and slower pace of Southwest Georgia living. Whether you’re working remotely, raising a family, or building a private retreat, this home offers the best of all worlds — country charm, coastal access, and city connectivity.
Thanks to the home’s proximity to Lake Eufaula, the property enjoys pleasant natural breezes throughout much of the year, adding to the comfort of outdoor living and helping keep summer days feeling cooler. The nearby water also contributes to a unique local microclimate that many residents appreciate.
During the winter months, the area occasionally experiences Southern snowfall, creating memorable snow days and scenic views without the prolonged cold of northern climates. It’s a special balance of mild Southern winters with just enough seasonal variety to make each year feel distinct.
Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of Fort Gaines history — a property that’s been lovingly updated yet still radiates Southern charm and country comfort.
