Azienda Agricola In Sylvania

Welcome to Vanguard Farm, a 26-acre mini-farm on Highway 17 between Statesboro and Sylvania. This classic Southern property combines approximately 12 acres of pasture, 12 wooded acres, a 30-by-30-foot metal building, and a renovated three-bedroom farmhouse that retains its early-1900s character. The fenced pastures are well suited for livestock and include multiple pens, two livestock shelters, two cattle waterers, and two chicken coops with capacity for approximately 60 birds. The wooded acreage along the western side of the property offers opportunities for hunting, recreation, or potential conversion to additional pasture. The metal building was constructed for use as a meat-processing facility and includes a 4-by-1-foot drain and a dedicated septic system. The property is conditionally zoned for meat processing, and the next owner may reapply to continue that use. A small equipment barn and two older grain bins are located behind the home. The property has access both from Highway 17 (Effingham Highway) and Cameron Road, a county maintained dirt road. The Farmhouse The two-story farm-house offers 2,019 sq. ft. of living space across two floors. The main floor spans 1,742 sq. ft. and accommodates two bedrooms, while the upper level adds 457 sq. ft. of additional space utilized as the master suite with a dedicated closet and bathroom. The living room is a standout space, featuring rich hardwood floors, a wood-planked ceiling, a brick fireplace, and large windows that flood the room with natural light, along with French doors leading to the screened porch.
