Hawkes Creek Farm

Hawkes Creek Farm is located 15 miles east of Athens, Georgia on Hargrove Lake Road in Oglethorpe County.  The county is experiencing rapid growth due to its proximity to Athens and its relatively low land costs.  Athens is the home of the University of Georgia and is located 65 miles east of Atlanta.  Athens, as with many other college towns in the US, has a unique identity and culture cultivated by the University.

The farm itself is bordered by Hawks Creek on the west, Hargove Lake Road on the south, farm land on the east and approximately 500 acres of wooded area on the north.  The rolling terrain created by the descent to the creek makes for unique vistas and settings.  About 100 acres (currently owned by John Dixon) are hardwood trees, 60 acres in pasture, a 10 acre pecan grove and the remainder yard and structure areas.  A portion of the hardwood area is a natural habitat wetland and will be permanently preserved.
