105+- acres of natural beauty including a spring-fed lake of about 48 acre+-a, offering historically abundant bass and crappie fishing. Also included is a lakefront home, custom-built in 1999 on a walk-out, daylight basement, and just a few level steps from the lakefront and dock. For decades, the 103.3+- acre adjacent land tracts which are included in the listed price, have been utilized as a recreational property/campground, known as Brooks Lake RV Campground, by the past owners for additional income. The present owners casually continue that tradition, although it is not their primary focus. The home, which was built by and lived-in by previous property owners, has 3239 sq ft heated and cooled (per public record), 4 bdrms & 3.5 baths, and about 1.73 acres of separately fenced land, included in the approx. 105-acre total. The master has incredible lake and forest views, a spa-like bath with jacuzzi tub and large separate shower. Wide lake views from all lake-facing rooms. There is an attached 2-car garage and a 2-car carport or storage shed. Water is by on-site well. County water hook-up for the house is available at the road, and the other approx. 103 acres is served by county water. The house was lived-in until February of 2022. It is now vacant, with heat and ac recently inspected/serviced and in continuous operation. While the house is livable in its present condition, the home is in need of cosmetic updating throughout. Appliances and all fixtures are original to the house from 1999. Approximately 10 minutes from I-20 interchange at Conyers, and 12 minutes to the GA International Horse Park (site the actual 1991 Atlanta Olympics Equestrian venue). The property has been short-term leased by movie, tv and commercial production companies periodically over the years. There are NO financials available on the past or present operations and NO owner financing is available. Property sold As-Is, with no repairs to be made by seller. The business operation is coincidental and at the discretion of a buyer whether or not to continue. Harry Norman REALTORS does not manage the property nor have any involvement with the campground operation. Selected Land Highlights: The entire lake shoreline is included. There are two excellent condition covered metal pavilions on concrete slabs on the property. Both approx. 40'x60'. Potential to enclose and convert to other use such as storage, stables, barn, etc. A bath house with toilet stalls plus showers has its own septic system. The bath house is very rustic and is for use of campers and day visitors. There are about 25 RV hook-ups with underground wiring and multiple amperage outlets on posts. There is water at or near most posts. There is NO septic on the properties except at the main house, the bath house and the cabin on the east shore side of the lake. Dumping of waste by campers is done off-site (there is a dump station about a mile away) or by mobile waste service at expense of camper. Zoning is "Watershed Protection" (WP) to maintain the natural environment of the area. No flood insurance is required (verify with your insurance agent), and the lake has a spillway to limit its level. To protect the natural beauty, there are certain restrictions on permitted uses of the properties such as no commercial buildings, however, single-family new houses are a permitted use, homes must be on minimum 2 acre lots in the buildable areas, and 3-acre max density, etc. Always check with Rockdale County for assurance your intended use may be permitted. The present Brooks Lake Campground/RV/Recreational operation is "non-conforming" in the WP zoning. However, the present "non-conforming use may be continued per county ordinance on grandfathering of existing non-conforming uses. Livestock are permitted, and the property would make a lovely equine estate. There are 4 gated entrances off the paved road. The entire property is perimeter-fenced, with the house being separately fenced. Schedule a Private Showing
