GILLSVILLE, GA, Apr 10, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) ?
Beth Buffington Weikel and her sister Ginger Buffington Folger are
part of the fifth generation of Buffingtons to own and manage their
family?s farm. As their children have moved to college and left their
childhood homes, Weikel and Folger have decided to downsize part of
their family-operated farm in Gillsville, Ga. through a real estate
auction.
They have since hired J.P. King Auction Company, one of the nation?s
leading real estate auction marketing firms, to sell 528 acres of
their land in Gillsville, Ga. The property will sell as part of an
estate auction in 13 tracts and 33 parcels, several of which will be
offered absolute, on June 2.
?We hope someone will be able to enjoy this land as much as our
family has,? said Weikel, who uses the land for chicken houses,
foresting and as her personal residence. ?East Hall County has so
much to offer, and this could be one of the last chances to own a
ranch within 45 minutes of Atlanta.?
The home, which sits on the first tract, is a charming four-bedroom,
cottage-style home with a wraparound porch, providing the best views
of the property?s hills and pastures along the North Oconee River.
The recently remodeled kitchen boasts upgrades from granite
countertops to wood-beam ceilings, stainless appliances, granite
countertops and cherry cabinets.
?As our children begin to leave the nest and we transition to a new
place, we hope someone will be able to enjoy this land as our family
has for five generations now,? said Folger.
The families will continue to farm and live on the remaining part of
the estate, which covers over 850 acres across Hall and Jackson
counties.
About the Property: The majority of the tracts are zoned Agricultural
Residential but offer potential for residential, recreation or
commercial uses. Eight chicken houses are currently in operation on
the property and are generating income. Each house is 40?x400? and
can inhabit 22,500 chickens. A host of barns and sheds are located
throughout the property as well.
Among the 33 total parcels, many will sell absolute with no minimums
and no reserves. Tract 6 is divided into three parcels with road
frontage and could be zoned to include commercial interest. Other
tracts include various barns, sheds and small homes, and Tracts 7, 12
and 13 will sell absolute.
The auction will take place on Saturday, June 2 at 1 p.m. on the
property, which is located at 4204 Gillsville Highway in Gillsville,
Ga. Property tours will be available by appointment on May 18-20, May
25-27 and June 1. For additional information, individuals may contact
