Jefferson, GA 30549 970 Valley Drive

It’s hard to imagine Jefferson – immortalized by Dr Crawford W. Long in 1842 when he first trialed ether as an anesthetic – could be anything but a sleepy town. Particularly with its wide expanses of space, crisp clean air, green rolling hills and large farm-style lots. But the truth is – it's a sleeping giant! Experiencing strong capital growth in recent years, Jefferson is on the cusp of bigger things. And to those in the know, there’s little wonder.
