Large, irrigated organic garden including an established asparagus bed, herbs, blueberries, thornless blackberries, figs.
Rock-lined and irrigated perennial beds including native flowers, shrubs and trees. A spring originating at the base of the property that meanders to the Broad River. Numerous trails through approximately 9 acres of woods weaving along old stacked rock terraces that circle the property.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 1257 Seymour Road and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 1257 Seymour Road was built in 2016 and has 1,841 sq ft of living area, 2 bedrooms and 2.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 1257 Seymour Road in?
1257 Seymour Road is in Bowman, Elbert County. Too few comparable closed sales exist nearby for this page to show local sales statistics; a licensed agent can prepare a comparative market analysis.
How are property taxes on 1257 Seymour Road estimated?
The estimate on this page (about $6,562 per year) assumes the county reassesses at the list price. Georgia counties reassess after a sale and exemptions such as homestead must be applied for by the new owner, so the seller's current bill is not a guide. Confirm with the county tax assessor.
Is 1257 Seymour Road in a flood zone?
The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone X, outside the special flood hazard area, so flood insurance is not usually required by a lender. It is still available and worth quoting; confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.

Opinion & estimate — do not rely on this page. Any figure on this page that is not a verbatim fact from the listing or a public record — including estimated property taxes, insurance, CDD/HOA amounts, mortgage payments, comparable-sales summaries, and market statistics — is an opinion and estimate provided for general informational purposes only. These figures may be inaccurate or out of date, are not appraisals, valuations, or financial, legal, tax, or investment advice, and should not be relied upon.

Estimate methodology. Tax estimates apply county millage to the list price (less the homestead exemption where the parcel is matched to the certified roll) and will differ from the actual assessed bill. Cost and market figures are derived from available data and simple calculations, not a professional appraisal. We make no representation that any estimate reflects fair market value.
