    Description

    Shovel-ready infill townhome opportunity in Austell (Cobb County) with APPROVED land-disturbance/site development permit. This ±1.21-acre tract at 5790 Maxham Rd SW, Austell, GA 30168 (Parcel #18002900090) is engineered for a 10-unit single family townhome development with staged erosion control, full civil plan set, and City approvals already in place—ideal for a small residential developer looking to skip months of upfront entitlement time. The stamped plans reference Cobb County Permit No. SPR-2024-00178 and include City of Austell Public Works approval (7/23/2025) and Zoning approval (7/30/2025). The plan set also documents total disturbed area ±1.11 acres, site setbacks (front/rear 30’, side 10’), and parking math supporting the 10-unit program (garages + guest spaces). Utilities and infrastructure groundwork are well-defined & sewer easement on file at Cobb County: sanitary sewer & water sheets are included, and a fire hydrant flow test/24-hr test letter for the site is part of the package—helpful documentation for fast-tracking utility coordination and vertical permitting. Bring your product, pricing, and build team—this one is positioned for a clean handoff from dirt to doors! No waiting, start building today!

I do not have to get on the highway pretty much to get anywhere from where I live and that comes in handy. There is a bus route close, never used it but i do see a number of folks utilizing the bus line. "
