Temperatures may be dropping outside, but it’s never too early to begin thinking of your spring plans ― and that includes gardening. If you’ve developed a green thumb over the last several months and are considering a move, you’ll likely want to have enough space outside to hone the skill.

Luckily, there are several homes outside of Atlanta that offer more than an acre of land for under $500,000.

6505 Sara Glen Dr, Douglasville - $499,900

Feel as if you’re on Cape Cod in the south with this 9-acre home. The previous owners already have a flower garden blossoming, which shows just how much gardening you can do.

3030 Dodson Dr, East Point - $440,000

This newly listed, gated home is ITP and features plenty of space inside — such as a huge bonus room ― and outside.

12005 Hutcheson Ferry Rd, Palmetto - $299,900

The price was just slashed by $20,000 on this full-brick home, which offers 13 private acres.

250 Hollow Springs Dr, Hiram - $349,000

A single-family ranch that features upwards of 20 acres is hard to beat. It also has a partially finished basement and an in-law suite.

729 Daytona Ct, Forest Park - $150,000

First-time home buyers will have no problem with this move-in-ready abode. Described as a charging home, this 1967 build includes an attached garage.
