I bought property near Ball Ground, GA in 2013.

Planned to live there the rest of my life. Then, everything went crazy. Originally bought 32 acres+/-. Sold 6 acres 18 months later, paid for the whole place. Built a house, cleared a food plot or two, then in 2023, sold another 3 acres, paid for the place again.

Fast forward to today. I sold an additional 13.5 acres to 2 different builders. Used the proceeds to buy 50 acres near Toccoa, GA, and have enough cash reserve to build a house. Will sell the last 5.3 acre lot and the 3 acres with a house on it to replenish savings.

Buying raw land is almost never a bad idea.
