About this home
WELL-MAINTAINED BRICK HOME ON 2.1 ACRES WITH FLEXIBLE LIVING SPACE & GREAT WORKSHOP! This spacious 1.5-story home, built in 1973, offers approximately 2,659 square feet (approximately 725 square feet of finished basement space). The inviting main level features an entry foyer, separate living room and dining room, a large great room with fireplace & built in bookcases, and a spacious kitchen recently updated with new stainless-steel appliances and a new farmhouse sink.
The home offers 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths (the half bath has been added in very recent years), plus a finished basement bonus area with a closet that provides excellent flexibility for a 4th bedroom, home office, game room, or man cave. The basement also includes additional unfinished space with paneled walls that could potentially be finished for even more living area. The current unfinished area is great storage or indoor workshop!
An exterior door provides direct access to the finished portion of the basement, creating exciting possibilities for a separate living area, guest space, or potential in-law suite. With the appropriate improvements, there may even be potential to add a bath and efficiency kitchen. Outside, you'll find a double garage with storage room, a cozy screened porch overlooking the rear deck and backyard, and a large powered shop accompanied by an additional powered storage building and lean-to.
A deer cooler is attached to the rear of one of the outbuildings, adding another useful feature for the outdoor enthusiast. There's plenty of space for hobbies, projects, equipment, recreation, and storage. The total-electric central HVAC system is only 2+ years old.
The property includes two lots totaling approximately 2.1 acres with a creek, offering room to enjoy the outdoors and appreciate the natural setting. Public water and septic. Located only minutes from the local hospital and approximately 30-45 minutes from Thomaston, LaGrange, and Columbus, with Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport approximately 1 hour 15 minutes away.

This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.
Actual list price: $295,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 27% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
- Condition & updates — a 1973 home may have had its roof, kitchen, or HVAC replaced since, or not; sq ft can't see either.
- The lot & views — a premium golf, water, or preserve lot vs. a road-facing one: same sq ft, very different price.
- Outliers skew it — one flip or distressed sale in the comps drags the whole $/sq ft up or down.
- Carrying costs & concessions — CDD, HOA, insurance, and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.
And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:
- 36 active listings competing, 17 under contract
For reference, this home is listed at $295,000 ($111/sq ft) — a number set with analysis a Messtimate can't do.

Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 1280 Chalybeate Road, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 1973 (53 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
- The listing reports no HOA: confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to this parcel.
- Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and confirm with your insurer whether flood insurance is required.
- Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Meriwether County; age of roof and any prior claims affect the premium.
- Listed living area is 2,659 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
- Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
- Review permit history with the county.
- Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $3,098/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; confirm exemptions with the county tax assessor.
- School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.
