Property Description
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 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, and about 1.73 acres of separately fenced land, included in the approx. 105-acre total. The master is up and 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.

HUD Foreclosures

HUD foreclosures and VA Foreclosures are some of the best homes to buy when price is part of the equation. As with most Americans, price is always a concern. If not buying the same house for less, why not buy more house for the same dollar invested? When looking for a good deal it is hard to do better than the VA or HUD foreclosures market. The simple truth is that there are just more VA and HUD homes on the market, as they represent such a large number of mortgages that are generated each year. This translates into more foreclosures just by the magnitude of difference between all others comparing to the two largest. The two largest also being government owned and operated means that they have less time to wait to make money back on the home. The FHA is especially known for selling HUD homes for less than the average sales price in a given area. FHA foreclosures represent a fraction of HUD but they are still a significant number of homes and both should be considered. VA (Veterans Administration) and HUD (Housing and Urban Development) have different and unique opportunities for the buyer. Both are often forgiven for the local taxes normally associated with the purchase of a home (this is on a county by county basis). Be sure to ask the local title company or escrow company to look into it for you before closing as this is often missed due to their are not used to dealing with the 2 to 3 percent of the market that VA and HUD foreclosures represent.

Foreclosure Listings Increasing

As the market settled after the mortgage meltdown foreclosure listings also settled and fewer homes were on the market with a placard reading “Bank Foreclosure” in big red lettering. This was a good thing for the entire real estate market. Having an abundance of foreclosures brings the entire market down and it makes it harder for home owners, who would like to move, to get the appropriate price for their home as a similar home down the same street was sold for substantially less and the appraiser is using the foreclosure as a comparable sale. This is just one of the problems when there are too many foreclosure listings in any area. Another issue is the television set that sits in everyone’s living room harping about the price of homes based on the number of foreclosures and this constant barrage of negative information makes most people sit on the sidelines waiting for the market to either implode completely or to correct itself. Meanwhile while they wait, others are buying foreclosure listings and making great investments. Whatever the reason, a market can only handle so many foreclosure listings at any given time. The more foreclosures, the lower the market gets and this is a lesson the banks that were foreclosing and selling off realized too late. The market and their investments would have been better off if there had not been a rush to divest themselves of the toxic assets made more toxic by their own actions.
