The original farm comprised some 250 acres but over the last few years the current owner has added over 100 acres by purchasing contiguous parcels. Ardmore Farm encompasses a total of 352 acres but is being offered as an option to purchase the improvements listed below along with 98 +-acres. The property and its picturesque equestrian setting are second to none in southeast Georgia.
