Step back into Southern history with this authentic 1938 farmhouse on 1.5 acres just outside Cordele. The home’s original proportions are on full display — tall ceilings, generous rooms and fireplaces in multiple rooms create a warm, period atmosphere. Mature camellias and established pecan trees frame the property, offering seasonal color and shade while the long approach sets the tone for privacy and tranquillity.
Inside, the floorplan presents three bedrooms and two full baths across about 2,016 square feet of living space. The expansive parlor and formal rooms are ideal for restoration to original detail, and the working fireplaces offer an immediate focal point while upgrades are planned. Original wood floors, moldings and built-in features are present and await finishing touches from a buyer who appreciates historic character.
This property is being sold AS-IS, which positions it perfectly for an owner-restorer or an investor who can bring mechanical systems and finishes up to modern standards. Given the home’s historic bones and lot size, thoughtful updates — new HVAC, refreshed kitchen and bathrooms, and selective restoration of original millwork — will capture the highest resale value and appeal to buyers seeking a classic farmhouse with acreage.
Location advantages include peaceful rural surroundings yet convenient access to Cordele’s services and recreation. The seller notes the property sits roughly 10 miles off Hwy 300, placing Lake Blackshear, fishing, and golf within an easy drive while keeping you removed from the daily hustle. Schedule a showing to see the character and potential in person — opportunities to own a true Southern farmhouse on acreage like this are uncommon.
107 Booth Rd, Cordele, GA 31015
The Booth Road area is rural and low-density, characterized by older farmhouses, acreage parcels, and wooded lots. Residents value privacy, outdoor space and proximity to Lake Blackshear while remaining within a short drive of Cordele’s downtown services. The neighborhood has a relaxed pace with country roads and seasonal agricultural activity.
Strong access to outdoor recreation with Lake Blackshear and county parks a short drive away; property supports gardening, small-scale farming, and outdoor living.
Cordele and Crisp County are small, value-oriented markets where land and historic charm create niche demand. Median single-family prices in the broader area typically run below $200k, so this property — priced at $239,900 — sits above area medians because of its larger lot and historic construction. Expect a measured buyer pool: restoration-minded homeowners, buyers seeking acreage near Lake Blackshear, and investors who specialize in renovating older homes. Typical days on market here trend longer than urban centers (est. ~60–120 days); pricing competitively and highlighting the lot, fireplaces, and period details will attract the right buyers. With modest regional appreciation (estimated ~2% last year, ~7% over five years), value is realized when systems and key living spaces are modernized.
