CHEROKEE COUNTY-City of Canton

Known to include lands that were originally part of the Cherokee Nation, the Canton area was claimed by Georgia after gold was discovered in 1828. This area is about 40 miles north of Atlanta and considered one of top expanding cities in the metro Atlanta area.

One place of interest is the historic 400-acre Crescent Farm estate. The Crescent Farm Rock Barn, a cherished landmark of Cherokee County, is the only rock barn in Georgia. It was built specifically as a stable for racehorses in 1906 by Augustus Lee Coggins and is now the headquarters of the Cherokee County Historical Society. The former estate residence, Edgewater Hall (also known as the A. L. Coggins House), was built in 1922 in the Georgian Revival style. The house, located on the highest point in Canton with a view of the Etowah River, was purchased by North Georgia Bank and converted to office space in 1986. Ten years later the bank sold the structure to the city of Canton, which has since used the building as its city hall. History such as this gives this area of the county a true root of equestrian relevance.

If estate homes with horse stables are included in your home search, you are sure to find options to explore when including Cherokee County in your search.
