Hummingbird Haven is a 10.58 acre income producing property in Danville, Georgia. It features a barndominium, greenhouse, outdoor kitchen and koi pond entertainment space, silo/grain bin house, tiny home, and two industrial grade shop buildings, all in great condition and well-maintained. The property currently operates as an Airbnb/Vrbo/Glamping revenue earner and serves as headquarters to Hummingbird TINY Housing, with multiple tiny rentals and industrial shops on-site.
The barndominium, built in 2019, served as the primary residence of the owner. Built in the board and batten style with cedar shakes and constructed from Eastern White Pine with maple floors, it is 2,296 total square feet with two porches (one 160 sq. ft and one 120 sq. ft). It consists of a 1,296 square foot on the ground floor featuring three 12’ x 12’ horse stalls, a feed room, office, and covered lean-tos on either side of the barn area. The second floor living area is 720 square feet and comes fully furnished with the exceptions of a vintage bedroom suite and bath vanity (which will be replaced). Open to the living space and featuring butcher block whitewashed countertops, the kitchen has a refrigerator and propane gas stove, both updated in 2019. Also updated in 2019 are a GE washer and dryer. The master has a bath with jetted tub and walk-in closet. A washer and dryer is included. The porches provide panoramic views of the property. The roof is only 4 years old.
Adjacent to the barndominium is a delightful greenhouse constructed from repurposed windows with countertops made from old garage doors.
The silo/grain bin house was built in 2022. It is comprised of a 254 +/- square foot grain bin and a 384 square foot addition, both paneled with Eastern White Pine. Inside the silo portion are the dining area and kitchen which features a farm sink, butcher block counters, and a stainless Frigidaire refrigerator. Also in the silo is the living area which has beautiful ceiling detail. The addition is accessed through a curved sliding door made from pine and metal cut from the silo. In this addition is a full bath with cedar door and a bedroom housing a refurbished claw foot tub. The bedroom has an electric corner fireplace with Bluetooth technology and a flat-screen TV. This room also features attractive ceiling detail. Cooking for the silo/grain bin house is done on a grill located on the charming 224 square foot covered porch which wraps around two sides of the home. The house is to remain fully furnished with the exception of an antique fridge. This tiny home has mini splits for A/C, a tank water heater, and a septic tank less than eight years old.
A large 896 square foot outdoor kitchen, with its coffered ceiling, is the focal point of the entertainment/venue space. It is screened on three sides with an industrial-style kitchen on the fourth side. The kitchen area features open shelving, granite countertops, and stainless appliances. There are two comfortable seating areas, one in the screened area and one positioned to take advantage of the large wall-mounted 75-inch flat-screened TV. A half-bath and ample space for guests to enjoy a delicious meal are also in this enclosed kitchen. This facility has hosted numerous events such as a wine-tasting and outdoor movies. There is plenty of room to add an outdoor fireplace in the future.
It is a short walk from the kitchen to the pump house. Constructed of landscape timbers, the pump house, with covered seating area, creates the perfect place to enjoy the new koi fish pond. Additional paved seating surrounding the pond creates a relaxing oasis.
The Lilly is the original tiny home custom crafted by the current owner approximately 13 years ago, featured on HGTV's Tiny House Hunters, and remodeled in 2021 with new refrigerator and countertops. This pleasant structure has Eastern White Pine siding and double-paned insulated windows. An open porch and pretty landscaping grace the front of the house. The Lilly comes fully furnished including the queen size bed in the loft. A mini-split A/C system and 4-gallon Bosch 5-minute return hot water heater are included.
Completing the list of structures are two impressive industrial grade metal shop/storage buildings. Building #1 was constructed in 2018 and encompasses 6,000 square feet of enclosed space with an additional 2,000 square foot lean-to. It has R19 insulation and is fully wired. The built-in tables will remain with the property. This shop has 4 bays and 14-foot roll-up doors. Each bay easily accommodates a 40+ foot vehicle. Building #2 has 1,200 enclosed square feet and an additional 800 square feet of lean-to space. There is a 1,000-gallon diesel tank and washer/dryer which stay, along with a full-bath.
The property has extensive infrastructure with five septic systems (four 1,000 gallon tanks; one 1,500 gallon tank), four meter bases (two 200-amp services; two 400-amp services), two wells (one shallow and one deep built in 2022); power received from Oconee EMC. It has solid internet service with fiber optic internet expected soon through Oconee EMC.
The property has room to expand and could sustain 15-20 homes as a tiny home community with lot rent potential.
For the outdoor enthusiast, it is a short drive to Ball's Ferry State Park, a 525-acre property offering walking trails and hunting opportunities for deer, turkey, small game, and waterfowl. Kayaking is possible on the Oconee River and there is a boat ramp that can be used for fishing access.
Currently operated as an Airbnb/Vrbo/Glamping revenue earner and event venue, the revenue spreadsheet for the property is included on this website on the maps page.
Although they have thoroughly enjoyed their time on the property, the current owners know it is time to pass it on to new stewards who will continue to create special memories for guests, grow and improve the property in their own ways, or who wish to simply enjoy a relaxed country lifestyle.
