Approximately 27 acres of land, located on busy Hwy 162 in Covington. The property features 1000+/- feet of road frontage on Hwy 162, as well as 1000+/- feet of additional road frontage on Fire Tower Rd, including the half acre corner lot at the intersection of Hwy 162 and Fire Tower Rd. There is a farmhouse located on the property, built in 1894. It's currently livable, but has no central heat or air and is in need of repairs & renovation. The entire parcel is Zoned A-R per the Newton County Tax Assessor's website, but neighboring property has Commercial zoning. Several residential housing developments are located nearby as well. There is so much potential here. With a full renovation, the home could be a showplace. Or the property itself could be repurposed for a different use entirely, with county approval. Call today to schedule an appointment to see it for yourself!
