Discover this prime 12.32-acre parcel at 12956 and 12994 Highway 278 in Covington, GA, consisting of two adjoining lots (6.20 and 6.12 acres) in Tier 1 of the Brick Store Overlay District and Live/Work Area. Ideal for an upscale single-family subdivision with 12-16 premium homes (minimum 0.75-acre lots, 1,800 sq. ft. dwellings) or mixed-use development including a 1.5-acre commercial node with a Conditional Use Permit. Per current Overlay standards, the project requires 50-foot setbacks, 10% open space (1.23 acres), and 5% enhanced common areas (0.62 acres). Benefit from Highway 278 visibility, a high-income demographic, and future water/sewer availability (nearest sewer line approximately 2500 ft away) for higher-density options in this development node. Architectural standards mandate brick/stone exteriors and historic rural features, appealing to affluent buyers. Located in a designated growth node per Newton County's Future Land Use Plan, near the upcoming Rivian EV manufacturing plant (7,500 jobs by 2028) and Stanton Springs industrial park (home to Meta's data center and Takeda's medical facility), this unified parcel offers strong investment potential. Sold together for a cohesive project-don't miss this opportunity in East Newton County's coveted market. Contact us today!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
