Description
A Rare Opportunity to Own a Historic Treasure in Fannin County Set on 15.8 acres of unspoiled land with 900 feet of frontage on the tranquil Toccoa River, the Cochran Davenport Farmstead stands as one of Georgia's last remaining intact farmsteads. Originally established in 1885, this exceptional property features a carefully reconstructed Victorian-style home with 5 bedrooms, 8 fireplaces, and a classic two-story dogtrot design-faithfully honoring its heritage. The estate includes original 1880s-era outbuildings: a root cellar, smokehouse, large corn crib, and a working barn over 100 years old. Two fenced pastures, a wildflower garden, and the stone remains of a historic water wheel offer both charm and potential. With a rich history rooted in preservation and conservation, this property presents a unique opportunity for private ownership, heritage tourism, or investment in one of North Georgia's most iconic settings. Due to its historic significance, future stewardship will be expected to align with its legacy. The road curves gently around the farmstead, as if protecting this living piece of Appalachian history-a true phoenix risen from the ashes.
