The cost of living is extremely attractive for young families and retirees alike: Nearly 20% lower than the rest of the state and more than 23% lower than the national average. A-grade schools make it appealing for parents who want their kids to excel in the classroom and the classroom of life. The top two largest employers in the county are both hospitals (so you know the area’s healthcare is on-point), and the rest of the diverse economic base includes manufacturing, aerospace and electronics, agribusiness and more. And Dublin -- accessible right in the middle of the county by multiple state highways and a few miles off Interstate 16 -- ensures that all the conveniences of everyday life aren’t far out of reach.



FAQs about rural land for sale in Laurens County, Georgia
In many ways, the same factors that might influence the price of a piece of suburban Georgia property hold true with the state’s rural land: Location, accessibility, the size of the tract, percentage of high land and soil are among the key factors that play into the valuation. Land that’s improved by the developer will also typically cost a little more, since those enhancements are designed to provide practical value to the buyer. Your real estate or land agent will be able to provide good advice on whether or not a parcel of land is consistent with market value.
Since every developer differs in what they offer, it’s good to think about all of the things you’d need to turn a rural lot into a country homestead or hobby farm. Some examples: Roughing in a driveway, preparing a culvert, installing septic systems and wells, and clearing the property. (At Raydient Rural, all of our communities have electricity access. For most of our communities, well and septic systems will need to be installed to access well-water and sewage, though a limited number of communities have access to city-water.)
Function, freedom and fulfillment, for starters. Rural land can serve many functions – a country retreat, a garden oasis, a small farm for small livestock, a private camping space for family and friends. Freedom comes from the ability to stretch out and have a little extra space between you and your neighbors. And fulfillment comes from being able to keep what makes you happy right in reach, whether it’s antiquing or hunting, fishing or firing up the backyard grill.

Country living done right in Laurens County, Georgia
It’s a good thing people speak “pine” in Laurens County, since there are plenty of loblolly and longleaf pines all over atop the gently rolling hills, flat plains and, of course, dense forests. It’s a perfect complement to the county’s laid-back, down-to-earth vibe – and the perfect setting for establishing a new rural retreat, for turning farming into that hobby you finally got around to, or for building the ATV tract of your dreams. It’s not hard to imagine why Laurens County is such a good match for people trying to get away from it all, but still be within a reasonable (think “less than two hours”) drive to Atlanta, Augusta and Savannah.

Rural acreage that hits the mark near Dublin, Georgia
Georgia’s “Emerald City” has a small-town magic all its own. It helps keep the county green and growing, while piling up awards that speak to just how entrancing it is: A City of Excellence (Georgia Trend magazine, 2020), A Signature Community (Georgia Department of Community Affairs, 2007), and Georgia’s Exceptional Main Street Community (Main Street America, 2019). It’s small town America in its best possible spirit, with a downtown district pulled right out of a postcard book, featuring boutiques and shops, a weekend farmers market, a historical museum and renovated theater and the First African Baptist Church, where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his first public speech in 1944.
