BROKER'S COMMENT:

"Typing my remarks for this farm strikes differently. Gordon Lee Farm has been in my family since 1939 purchased by my great grandfather, a man that accomplished a lot to have died in his late thirties. This farm brings people together. Always has, always will. Theres just something about it thats special and inviting. It is where our family and friends have retreated to enjoy each other and the gorgeous rural setting of north Georgia. Having only been owned by two families since the Civil War, Gordon Lee Farm has always been coveted land the water, the productivity, and the sense of something greater have all been constants here. Its a farm that will help shape your family and create the memories you seek."
