FOUR contiguous 5ac tracts, open to selling together or separately
This 20-acre property is located in Dougherty County, Georgia, within the city limits of Albany. It’s raw, undeveloped land that is mostly flat and completely wooded, offering a private, natural setting while still being close to town conveniences. The property sits on the outskirts of Albany where there is less development and more larger-acreage parcels, creating a quieter feel than the more built-up parts of the city. With city maintained road frontage via Colley Ave, access is straightforward for buyers who want to walk the land, plan a homesite, or explore long-term residential use.
Zoning is handled by the City of Albany, and the property is listed as Residential R-2 with single family residential use. Site-built and modular homes are allowed, with no minimum square footage mentioned in the provided details, and accessory dwellings are allowed as well. The land is actually made up of four contiguous parcels that are each five acres, creating a flexible layout across the full footprint. The seller is offering the full 20 acres together, while also being open to selling the parcels separately depending on a buyer’s needs and plans.
Utilities are a strong highlight here, with power available at the road and water available at the road, and each parcel noted as having access to city water and electric. There are no existing structures on the property, keeping it clean and ready for a buyer to shape from the ground up. The notes also indicate no floodplain or wetlands besides a tiny area on one parcel, and for the most part there are no major concerns with flooding. If you want a wooded residential setting with room to spread out, this is a compelling opportunity inside Albany’s city limits without being in the hustle and bustle part of town.
Location-wise, you’re about 13 minutes from Albany, roughly 1 hour 45 minutes from Tallahassee, about 2 hours from Apalachicola National Forest, and approximately 2 hours 30 minutes from Atlanta. With the property next to an orchard and surrounded by other larger-acreage tracts, it offers a distinctive edge-of-town feel that’s hard to replicate. Whether you’re considering the full 20 acres or one of the five-acre parcels, the mix of city proximity, wooded privacy, and road frontage creates a versatile foundation for a residential build.
