WELCOME TO LOT 62, LOCATED IN THE PASTURE AT THE FARM AT OKEFENOKEE. Lot 62 is an approximately half-acre homesite within The Pasture, a limited collection of homesites inside The Farm at Okefenokee, a 1,000+ acre regenerative farm community in Folkston, Georgia. Positioned along the pasture edge and surrounded by the pine landscape of South Georgia, Lot 62 offers a more private setting within The Farm while keeping its owners connected to the land, agriculture, experiences and community beyond it. Here, the half acre is only the beginning. More than 1,000 acres surround your homesite, shaped by working pastures, livestock, gardens, orchards, seasonal harvests and open land. With approximately 250 homesites planned farm-wide, The Farm was created around a fundamentally different idea of residential living: own your home and your piece of land while living within something much larger than either. Lot 62 sits within The Pasture, where that experience becomes distinctly more private. Set apart from the more active areas of The Farm, the neighborhood offers a sense of retreat with views toward the livestock pasture and a strong connection to the surrounding woods, without removing you from the life of the community. This is not a conventional subdivision where the experience ends at the edge of your property line. At The Farm, the land is part of everyday life. Food is grown here. Animals are raised here. Neighbors gather here. The rhythms of the property change with the seasons. It is a community designed to bring the best parts of an older, simpler way of living into a place intentionally built for today. And while the community is shared, the home is distinctly your own. Homesites and cabins are selected independently, giving owners the freedom to choose both the land and the home that best fit the way they intend to live. The Farm offers three curated home collections, from smaller cottage plans to substantial estate residences, with additional opportunities to personalize materials, finishes and craftsmanship. For buyers seeking the highest level of individuality, the Estate Collection can be fully customized. The result is something difficult to replicate with acreage alone: privacy without isolation, a connection to the land without having to own and manage an entire farm, and a home that exists within a much larger way of life. Morning can begin overlooking pasture instead of pavement. Food can come from the same land you call home. Open space, animals, agriculture and community are not amenities added around a development. They are the foundation of it. Lot 62 gives you the opportunity to decide what your own piece of The Farm looks like while everything that makes this place different already surrounds you. You are not simply buying half an acre. You are choosing where your life within more than 1,000 acres of The Farm begins. Choose the land. Choose the home. Define everything in between.
