About this home
Located in Newton County, Georgia, this 26.27-acre wooded tract offers privacy, recreational value, and long-term flexibility just outside Covington. Tucked off a quiet road, the property is well suited for anyone looking to build a home, hunt, or hold recreational acreage with room to grow. A portion of the tract carries roughly 2,000+/- feet of frontage along Bear Creek, adding a water feature to the offering and expanding its recreational and wildlife appeal. With its size and layout, the land could be divided into two tracts, giving a buyer the option to build a single homesite, add a second structure, or split ownership between two parties. The property supports a resident population of whitetail deer and wild turkey, making it a strong candidate for hunting or wildlife management. Its wooded cover and Bear Creek frontage combine to create habitat that appeals to both game and non-game species, and the topography lends itself to trails, food plots, or a stand setup for hunters looking to get started right away. Outdoor recreation extends well beyond the property line. The tract sits minutes from the Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center, a 6,000+ acre state-managed property in Mansfield with fishing lakes, wildlife education programs, and public land access. The Alcovy River and Lake Jackson are also close by, and Bear Creek Marina on Lake Jackson offers boating, fishing, and kayaking for buyers who want water recreation beyond the property's own creek frontage. Location adds to the property's long-term value. Downtown Covington, known as "The Hollywood of the South" for its frequent use as a filming location, is a short drive away with shopping, dining, and small-town character. Oxford, GA is about 2 miles out, Mansfield is roughly 11 miles, Social Circle and Conyers are both about 12 to 13 miles away, and Monroe is approximately 19 miles. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is roughly 40 miles away, generally under an hour's drive, keeping the property connected to the metro Atlanta area without the density. The Georgia FFA-FCCLA Center, a several-hundred-acre facility with a covered arena, corporate retreat space, and youth camp programs, sits within about 15 minutes and regularly hosts horse shows and rodeo events. The broader tri-county area is also seeing new investment, with Rivian's manufacturing campus underway at Stanton Springs North near Social Circle, bringing jobs and development that add to the long-term growth potential of land in this part of Georgia. Whether the goal is a forever home, a weekend retreat, a hunting property, or a tract split into two ownership opportunities, this 26.27-acre Newton County property offers a combination of privacy, water frontage, wildlife, and accessibility that is difficult to find this close to Atlanta....
