The space
Nestled in the trees, this family oriented retreat feels remote & secluded. In reality you are actually only minutes away from many modern conveniences.

You are 8 minutes from Chatham. Chatham has a Dollar Store, convenience/grocery store, a restaurant and a bank.

Jimmie Davis State Park is 9 minutes away with its renowned fishing, many miles of hiking & biking trails, large public beach and picnic area, as well as a splash pad for lots of family fun. There are several boat launches, as well as RV spots, and other facilities for rent.

Guest access
You will have access to the house and the immediate surrounding property. The storage building and supplies around the building are for the owners use only. The back bedroom closet, which contains the owners personal items, and the HVAC closet are the only areas in the house that are locked. For guests who will be pulling a boat it should be noted that there isn’t a lot of room between the gate & Hwy 34. Someone might want to get out & open gate before pulling off of highway or going down to the old store next door to turn around while the gate is open. This is a minor inconvenience until we upgrade our gate and fen

Other things to note
This property has been in our family for over 100 years. My grandfather (Pawpaw) built this house himself in the mid 1980’s. He stayed busy into his early 90’s; he enjoyed mowing his own yard, cutting his own fire wood, building deer stands and fighting off beavers and alligators. He loved nature and all it had to offer-duck hunting, deer hunting and, well, just about any kind of hunting. He enjoyed feeding and the birds, squirrels, and deer on his property.

His pride and joy was the pond. He loved to watch the generations of his family fish and enjoy his pond. He would wait to feed the fish when the great grandkids were around just to watch their faces light up. If you reeled in a big one he would get the scale so he could weigh it. If it was a ‘good one’ he’d sometimes make you toss it back to grow bigger.

Comforts have been added to the house since the 80’s. More recently it has been remodeled but it will always be ‘Pawpaw’s Place’. We are happy to share Pawpaw’s Place with you and yours. Use it, enjoy it, and most of all please take good care of it.
